Age is NOT a good reference in deciding size. The most accurate way is measuring baby's feet length if you don't know the size. Put baby's feet on a piece of paper that is bigger than the feet. Draw a line at the back of the heel and the front of the big toe. Measure the distance between the two lines.

Recommend to have 1/8" extra space when ordering rubber sole outdoor shoes. Flex sole shoes are roomy. They are great for chubby little feet. Please make sure measure the little feet first in order to get proper fit.
