Sizing Update

At Ten Little, our shoes are designed with our signature TenForm™ fit system, using proprietary molds informed by the latest foot health research. Because of this custom approach, our sizing hasn’t always aligned with what you may expect based on other kids’ shoes.

We’re always working to make the shoe-buying process as seamless as possible. You shared that while you love Ten Little shoes, you often need to size up compared to other brands. Guided by this feedback, we’re updating our sizing to better align with common kids’ shoe sizing. That means easier shopping and fewer surprises, while still giving your child the doctor-recommended fit that Ten Little is known for.

The anatomy, materials, comfort, and fit of our shoes will not change, only the number on the size label.

While our TenForm™ fit system and commitment to healthy, APMA-approved shoes will not change, we are shifting our shoe sizes so they will be half a size larger to better match common sizing across kids’ brands. 

As a reminder, this size transition will take place in early March and will be clearly indicated on the shoe product pages and across our website. All of the labels on our shoes will reflect the new sizing after this date.

All of our styles will be the same healthy, APMA-approved shoes that you know and love, just a half size bigger. Our shoes will still be made with our signature TenForm™ fit system featuring wide, foot-shaped toe boxes, and flat, flexible soles. The anatomy, materials, comfort, and fit of our shoes will not change, only the number on the size label.

As always, if you have any issues, please email our team at hello@tenlittle.com with any questions.

If you place an order today, select your current Ten Little size. Our sizing will not change until early March. 

After our new sizes are live on our website in early March, we will guide you every step of the way. The updated sizing will be clearly indicated on all product pages and our fit tools, including our Fit Finder Quiz, Signature and Printable Fit Finders, and Size Guide page.  

For clarity, please see the size conversion chart at the bottom of this page.

After the update in early March, if your child currently wears a size 7, that would now be a size 6.5. If you are sizing up from their current size, we recommend ordering the same size as before, which would offer a comfortable half-size increase (i.e. in this case, if you are currently a size 7, size up to a new size 7).  

If you still have questions, you can email our customer support team with any questions or concerns at hello@tenlittle.com.

Yes, our Fit Finder Quiz, Signature and Printable Fit Finders, and Size Guide page, will all reflect the updated sizing information in early March.

Shoes with new sizing will be available in early March. We will announce the final date well in advance. Sign up for our email list or sign up for texts to stay up to date.

There is no need to wait to order as our shoes will be exactly the same in early March, just half a size larger with the corresponding updated size label.

Of course! Our team of fit experts is always happy to help. Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@tenlittle.com.

To ensure a clean transition between new and old sizing, from January 20, 2026 through early March, our return window will be shortened to two-weeks.
This two-week return window will be temporary to ensure that we can get through our inventory of shoes with soon-to-be-retired sizing to prevent confusion. This change in our return policy will begin on January 20, 2026. Once we have completed our sizing transition, we will resume our standard return policy of 30-day returns.
