While our family lived in Kazakhstan, finding shoes that fit Petit Garcon was a thorn in my side. I had ordered so many pairs of shoes in seemingly the same size only to find much bigger shoes once I opened the shipping parcel. This happened a comical number of times, so much so that Petit Garcon has an arsenal of shoes still in boxes, at the top shelf in his closet, that still do not fit him.
The American family who lived several floors below us, also had a son the same age as Petit Garcon. That mom was clued into 10 Little, a shoe brand with a foolproof sizing system. The caveat is that you need a 10 Little shoe box to measure the little’s feet. Luckily, she had one on hand.

This is the third pair of 10 Little shoes that we have procured for our Bebe Deux. They are a much better fit that the Vans that kept falling off his little feet. #momfail
