I have three kids 5 and under who all having growing feet. I’d compare their feet to weeds as they seem to grow like crazy while they are young. Now there are many experiences I prefer to tackle without my children and shopping is one of them. Since I have at least two kids with me at all times, I dread shopping with them as it is either nap time for my little one or my boys are whining that they have to shop.
Shoes shopping is something that I seem to always have to drag them with for because they always need to be sized properly. I have even tried tracing their feet on paper and bringing that to the store with me, but that wasn’t too helpful. Now if I do buy shoes without them in toe and they are the wrong size, then I have to go back and exchange them, what a pain!
Squatchi is a children’s shoe-sizer for measuring feet at home and is sure to make the shoe shopping experience easier and less daunting! Made in the USA, Squatchi is made of lightweight, recyclable, unbreakable plastic and comes in fun, kid-friendly colors. With Squatchi, parents can purchase shoes with more confidence – either online or without dragging the kids to the store. It is as accurate as the devices used in stores and easy to use – just make sure the child’s heel is resting in the curved end and use a marker to note the size.
Squatchi is also a growth chart and keepsake! Use a permanent marker and you can write on the Squatchi. Watch your children’s feet grow and have fun in the process!
I love that with one simple device I can measure my kids fit accurately and easily get their shoes. This is especially nice for online shoe shopping which I have not had too much luck doing before.
To use you just have your child stand on the plastic device and mark where their toe is. You can use it as a growth chart but I want to use it for all 3 kids so I just use a pencil or dry-erase marker. For under $20 this is a great value, especially for moms of multiple children.

I mostly shop via online
Jill H says
I take one at a time because a 4, 3 and 20 month old are not easy to buy shoes for all at once….especially when the 4 year old is picky and takes forever to shop 🙂
Saver Sara says
We just try them on or put them against his foot
Colleen Maurina says

Katie says
I usually take my son to Stride Rite or Nordstroms to be measured and then come back at another time without him to actually pick out shoes.
Valerie Taylor Mabrey says
We just hold up the bottom of the shoe to their feet and then try them on.
Lo says
We go to the local children’s shoe store. I like to support them, but I’d like the flexibility of knowing my kid’s shoe size myself.
Kris says
Usually we head to the shoe store and I hope the kids don’t have a meltdown before we’re done!
Kim Wellnitz says
I usually shop online so this would be great to have!
Norleans says
Sometimes it’s a struggle but measuring is a must.
Carmen Van Deursen says
I normally go to stride rite to get my son measured and if I like anything I buy it, if I don’t I use the measured size to shop else where online. Would love to just shop on line.
Tonya Fullenkamp says
Ok, I HAVE to have this! I shop mostly at StrideRite for my kids shoes but I order them online too. It’s a pain to go get their feet sized when there is an online sale. Always at the wrong time. I’ve tried to size their feet myself and I always get a size and a half bigger than they do, .
Stephanie L. says
We just try them on her
Joana A says
i just have my daughter try them on to see how comfortable they are
Gianna says
We usually head for target and see what they have.
Ashley C says
Right now I just buy sizes bigger than what my son wears instead of buying one that fits him now (I started this awhile ago), that way I have a bunch of sizes on hand for when he grows into them.

Carrie Phelps says
My daughter takes them to the store to check their sizes each time they need shoes because at 3 & 5 their feet seem to grow weekly!
Auri Lae says
Right now he’s not here yet (due in a few weeks) but it would be great to have this in reserve for when shoe shopping gets serious!
