As a parent, it’s great that you scaled through the baby years of spoon-feeding, using diapers and other essential caregiving that babies need. 

However, your boy is sure to grow in many aspects as time goes. One of these growths is to outgrow his shoes from time to time. This situation calls for all parents to understand the basics of their children’s measurement as they grow. One of them is to know the average shoe size for a 10-year-old boy. 

This article will focus on that specific age not because other age grades are not significant, but because we plan to provide all-round information about kids wear, and this is gradual.  

Why is this topic significant? It’s essential to take note of your child’s growth and development right from being a toddler until you feel he’s okay without your active supervision.  

A significant concern for parents is their kid(s) appearance in public. While most, if not all parents, want their kids to look adorable and presentable, the task isn’t often as easy as said. 

Having to spend hours at the boutique with your boy trying to wear kids shoes that fit and those that do not fit is one of the nerve-racking experiences of managing kids.  

It’s important to mention the mental stress in having to guess your kid’s shoe size whenever you forget to measure him before leaving home. Or when his sizes seem to change just within months.

What Size Feet Should a 10 Year Old have?

 It’s okay to be curious about this. Are you surprised and doubtful of your kid’s feet size due to his grown appearance? While your kid could have growth of some body parts on the increase, there is a shoe size grade for his age, and he is most definitely not going to fall out of this size bracket.  

Expectedly, average shoe size of a 10 Year Old boy is between UK size one and Size two. 

Meanwhile, in the US Size, he is expected to have between Shoe size 2 and 3 

This average size is an estimated category of shoe size for a 10-Year-old. Before going to the store to get shoes for the kid, consideration should be made to the fact that he could outgrow the shoes; hence, the extra room should be created when measuring his feet. 

This drives us to the most assuring process of knowing a 10-year-old’s shoe size.

How to measure a kid’s feet 

While some information sources about kids shoe sizes can be trusted and obeyed as regards choosing a shoe size for your kid, the best and most assuring practice is to measure your child’s feet. 

Feet measurement gives you a real-time analysis of his size and how much extra room you should give in preparation for the possibility of outgrowing the shoe before it wears out.

 We have a quick guide on how to measure your 10-year-old’s feet below; 

 • Get a paper, a ruler and a pencil 

• Have him put a leg or both on the paper, depending on how big it is. 

• With the pencil on the paper, make a mark at the heel and his largest toe

 • Make sure to leave an extra room of 0.5cm – 1cm 

 • Measure both feet separately as they may be of different length  

Average Shoe Size For a 10-year-old girl  

It seems it would be unfair to address the topic of boys’ average shoe size without brushing through the girls’. 

The logic and determining factors are quite the same. Girls experience growth in feet size as they grow and develop. Their measurement procedure isn’t different from that of boys’, and they do need to be given extra room as they could outgrow their shoes within months also. 

 In the UK, the average shoe size for a 10-year-old girl is UK Size 2. 

 In the US, the average shoe size for 10-Year-Old is USA Size 3. 

Although this is accurate and trustworthy, measuring your girl using the guide we provided above is another assuring method of knowing your girl’s shoe size.  

Tips in getting the perfect shoe size for a 10-year-old 

Here are tips that can further help guide your choices when purchasing shoes for your child. 

•Let your child wear socks when trying out his new show. This practise serves as reinforcement to the little extra room you gave to their feet during the measurement. The result is comfortability and not outgrowing it before it wears out 

• Try shoes on after 3 pm: According to a Harvard Health Letter published in 2018, anyone can have swollen feet. 

This is often caused by standing or walking for too long. It’s advisable to try on new shoes during this swollen period (if your kid is experiencing any). 

Doing this helps against the future and allows the shoe to contain his leg when swollen and normal.     Meanwhile, why should you be overly concerned with kids shoes and not ensure a fitting boys suit for your kid?
