How to use your Clarks
Toddler Foot Measuring Gauge
Please read these instructions carefully before using the gauge.
It’s simple and straightforward but there are a few important things to remember.
The measurement taken will provide a guide to your child’s shoe size and is best taken
when the child is as still as possible. We recommend a couple of practice measurements
on your child to help you achieve the most accurate measurement possible.
1
Make sure your child is wearing socks that fit well.
Sit them on someone else’s lap, facing you with
their legs dangling. Kneel in front of your child.
If your child is able to sit on a chair please ensure
this has a firm seat and they can sit safely with
their knee bent.
2
Hold the measuring gauge in your left hand with
the toe slide end nearest your body. Rest your
child’s foot in the gauge with their heel in the heel
rest – gently hold it in place with your left thumb.
3
Keep the gauge parallel to the floor ensuring their
knee and ankle stays at right angles throughout
the measuring process.

With your right hand gently hold down their toes to
prevent their toes from curling. Move the toe slide
until it just touches the tip of the longest toe.

Make a note of the length measurement indicated by
the black lines in the circular window. Don’t forget to
add any extra millimetres from the side scale to the
number shown in the window.
The width tape will automatically be lined up at the
correct part of the foot. Pull the tape gently until it is
just resting on the foot. Do not pull the tape tight as
this will give a narrow measurement.

Hold the tape end out parallel to the floor. Looking
down and making sure you do not twist the gauge
read off the number where the tape comes out under
the tape carrier indicated by the three black arrows.
Make a note of the width measurement in mm.
Go online at: www.brantano.co.uk and

widest width in the size calculator. This will tell
you your child’s Clarks shoe size. If you are in any
