Kids’ Shoe Fitting Video Tutorials — Watch and Learn
Welcome to my YouTube video series which is all about finding the perfect shoes for your child. I know that shoe shopping can be both exciting and overwhelming—especially when you’re trying to get the right fit for growing feet. That’s why I created this video series: to guide you step by step through everything you need to know. From expert shoe recommendations to must-know features, these tutorials will help you feel confident choosing the right shoes for your little one’s unique needs.
In this series, we’ll dive into everything you need to know about kids’ shoes—from how to measure your child’s foot size accurately to exploring the many styles and features available in children’s footwear. I’ve also created helpful videos specifically for parents who need guidance on fitting orthotics, whether it’s 3/4-length inserts, AFOs, or SMOs, into their child’s shoes. Each video is packed with practical, step-by-step instructions designed to make the sometimes overwhelming task of choosing and fitting shoes a whole lot easier—and even enjoyable!
What You’ll Find in the Series
- Measuring your child’s foot — getting an accurate length and width reading at home
- Understanding foot shape — how to tell narrow, medium, wide, and extra wide feet apart
- Fitting orthotics correctly — 3/4-length inserts, AFOs, and SMOs, and how they change what to look for in a shoe
- Shoe styles and features — what actually matters (and what’s just marketing) when comparing options

Hi there! Do you have videos on pigeon toed, how to correct, & best shoes to correct pigeon toed. My 6 yr old has this and cannot find corrective shoes. Thank you! Your other videos are great!
Hello Priscilla,
Unfortunately, I don’t have any videos about pigeon toed children. However, I did create a resource that you might find helpful: Best Corrective Shoes for Pigeon Toes – These Shoes Can Improve Your Child’s Walking Gait and Posture!
Keep in mind that in order for your child to get the full benefits that the shoes have to offer you need to order the shoes in the correct size, which means getting the correct shoe length and the correct shoe width.
