@Bex I put them on her and it was a little over a thumb width from her toes to the tip of the shoe so not sure if they are too big. She tends to trip over anyway. She's a bit clumsy so not sure how much I'd be able to base the shoes on that 😂
@Laura a thumbs width is normally okay, it really does depend on how she walks in them. You could always buy adults thin insoles and cut them right down to pad them out a little x
I haven’t had my daughter measured but she’s been in between a 5&6 for the longest & i’ve just got everything in a 6 and it seems fine she isn’t tripping or walking funny due to the little extra room she has
You want about 1.5cm. Also, look into barefoot style shoes, you can pick them up on vinted but they are far better for a child's foot. But ideally new shoes are best, even if they are from the supermarket because then there won't be another childs foot moulded into the shoes which will effect your child's foot development
I would try them on her and see how big they are as if they’re too big she’ll be tripping over and it’ll affect how she walks. If she’s not tripping over a little bit of growing space is fine x
