Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best brand for toddler shoes?

Shoe Carnival carries all of the top toddler shoe brands, so no matter what their style or preference, we've got your little ones covered! But a few top picks for name brand toddler shoes include: Vans, adidas, Nike, Drope, Self Esteem, Skechers, and Carter's.

What types of shoes do kids need?

Common options include athletic sneakers, school shoes, casual slip-ons, sandals, and boots depending on the season and activity.

How fast do kids’ feet grow?

Kids’ feet can grow quickly — often about a half size every 3–4 months for younger children and every 4–6 months for older kids.

How do I know if my child’s shoes fit correctly?

There should be about a thumb’s width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe, with a secure fit at the heel.

How often should I replace kids’ shoes?

Check fit every few months. Replace shoes when they become tight, show heavy wear, or no longer provide proper support.

Do kids need arch support in their shoes?

Most children don’t need strong arch support unless recommended by a specialist. Flexible, supportive soles are usually sufficient.

What features make kids’ shoes easier to wear?

Velcro straps, slip-on designs, and elastic laces make shoes easier for kids to put on and take off independently.
