Footmates® shoes are designed to provide the best environment, support, and motion for all stages of your child's development.

 Footmates® Functions:

Shoes serve to protect children's feet from the elements, to support and move their feet forward, and to allow their feet to breathe. We design our shoes to provide the best environment, support, and motion for all stages of your child's development. Footmates® are the perfect choice for feet that need to last a lifetime.

• Firm Heel Counter

• Arch Support

• Flexible Slip-Resistant Rubber Outsole

• Roomy Toe Box

• Leather Linings

• Custom Fit System

Every foot is unique and every brand utilizes different shoe specifications when making their shoes.  Thus, there is no single or "perfect" measuring device for all footwear brands.  Trying the shoes on is still the only way to truly know if you have selected the correct size with the proper "growing room" for the shoe you are purchasing.

With this in mind, and utilizing our decades long experience with fitting children in the Footmates® and Tsukihoshi® footwear brands, we have developed unique "Sizing Tools" for Footmates® and Tsukihoshi®.

Each "Sizing Tool" is specific to either the Footmates® or Tsukihoshi® brand and attempts to take into consideration all the unique size and fitting attributes of the brand.  These "Sizing Tools" are not perfect, but they are the best that anyone can do in getting you close to the correct shoe size.
