Fit is the whole thing with children's shoes and the rule is about a thumb's width of growing room -- roughly 1.2 cm -- because children's feet grow in bursts and children do not reliably say a shoe hurts.
Full details →Who the Carter's 100% Cotton Crewneck T-Shirt 3-Pack for Boys is for
Buy it if: Anyone buying by measured height rather than age, who washes cold.
Avoid it if: Anyone buying to age -- children of the same age vary by a full size or more.
Who the Stride Rite Light-Up Athletic Sneakers for Kids is for
Buy it if: Parents who will measure feet every few months rather than buying by size memory.
Avoid it if: Anyone wanting washable shoes -- submerging these destroys the LED circuit.
