Gold Shoes for Kids

Gold shoes for kids are for parties, shows and the toddler who has decided only a metallic shoe will do. We fit girls and boys. A true gold pair is scarce, and silver from Bobux, Skechers or Crocs is often the nearest match. Our fitters can advise on current styles.

Girls’ gold shoes for kids, including gold toddler shoes for a girl, still start with a measurement of both feet. If you need girls’ gold shoes in size 4, we fit that size on the day rather than promising it from this page.

 

What to look for in a children’s gold shoe

Gold, silver and the occasion

Hold the shoe in daylight. Gold and silver are not the same, and a pale gold can look silver under shop lights. These are party and show shoes more than school shoes. A strap or a buckle should hold the foot while she is standing about. A metallic finish scuffs at the toe, so we fit the size properly rather than buying long “to grow into” on a slip-on.

Toddlers and small sizes

A toddler needs a light shoe and a simple fastening. UK size 4 is a measurement we make, not a size we guarantee is in gold this week. If gold is out and silver will satisfy the outfit, we will say so. If the brief is gold and only gold, we will not swap the colour quietly.

Fitting tips from our fitters

  • Measure both feet. Fit the larger foot. Party shoes are easy to buy from the foot that looks smaller in the hand.
  • Growing room belongs on a strap or a lace. About a thumb-width past the longest toe. A slip-on or a clog-style shoe should fit now, or it will slip off.
  • Fit barefoot if she will be barefoot. Socks in the shop and no socks at the party make the shoe too big on the night.
  • Walk and stand still. A metallic shoe that only feels fine while moving can slide once she is in a line at a show.
  • Check the sale as well as full price. Gold shoes for kids in the sale are listed with the other children’s shoes, and a sale pair still has to fit.

Bobux shoes we fit

Skechers and Crocs are the other names on this rail. The Skechers size and fit guide and the Crocs size and fit guide are worth a look first.

Frequently asked questions

Are gold styles in the children’s sale?

Sometimes. The sale rail changes, and gold is a small part of it even then. Have a look at children’s shoes in the sale, then ask us what can be fitted in her size. A reduced shoe that is too short is not a saving.

Can you fit gold toddler shoes for a girl?

Yes, when a pair exists in her size. We measure both feet and watch her walk. The shoe has to be light enough for a new or recent walker. If this week’s metallic pair is silver, or is a sandal rather than a shoe, we will tell you before you set your heart on it.

Do you have girls’ gold shoes in size 4?

Only if a size 4 is in stock on the day, in a gold finish, and it matches her larger foot. Bring her in. Last year’s size is a poor guide, and a shoe bought long for next year will slip now. We would rather fit the foot she has.

Is silver close enough?

That is your decision, and we will show you the two side by side when we have both. Silver is the colour we see more often. For a costume that names gold, silver will not do. For a party where she simply wants something shiny, it often will.

The Maidstone shop is on Gabriel’s Hill. A metallic shoe is a special buy, and we would rather fit it on both feet than have you guess. Sandals in a similar mood are on our gold sandals for girls page.
