The size of imported children's shoes is usually indicated in the stikhmassovoy system - the length of the insole in the chinchs (1 stich = 2/3 cm).

When transferring from one system to another, there are often inconsistencies. This is primarily due to the fact that the insole is longer than the foot of the child.

Usually for a child from 6 to 9 months. fits size 17; for a child from 9 to 12 months. - size 18, and for children from 12 to 18 months. - size 19. In order to determine the size of the shoe, circle the foot of the baby with a pencil and measure the distance from thumb to heel.
