Get the right fit for your child's Brooking Classic Court Sneaker with this practical sizing guide. Measure feet, allow growing room, and check common mistakes.

Quick answer

For active kids, choose the Brooking Classic Court Sneaker one size larger than your child's measured foot length to allow for natural movement and growth.

Why fit matters for active feet

Active kids need shoes that stay put without pinching. The Brooking Classic Court Sneaker's elastic lace-up fastening and sporty cup-sole provide a secure, comfortable fit, but only if the size is right. A too-short shoe can cause blisters, while a too-long one may trip your child.

Step-by-step sizing guide

  1. Measure your child's foot at home: Place a piece of paper against a wall. Have your child stand on it with their heel touching the wall. Mark the longest toe and measure from the wall to the mark. Do this for both feet and use the larger measurement. Common mistake: measuring while sitting. Feet spread when standing, so always measure standing up.
  2. Add growing room: Add 1 to 1.5 cm (about 0.4 to 0.6 inches) to the measured foot length. This extra space allows for natural foot movement during running and jumping, and accommodates growth for a few months. Checkpoint: If your child is between sizes, always choose the larger size for active wear.
  3. Check the fit with the shoe on: After receiving the Brooking sneaker, have your child wear their usual socks and stand in the shoe. Press the toe area – there should be about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe. Common mistake: ignoring width. The sneaker's elastic laces can adjust slightly, but if the shoe feels tight across the widest part of the foot, try a wider size or different style.
