new tiny green shoes

Updated: Nov 15, 2018


My newest pair of tiny green shoes arrived this past weekend! The fact that they arrived was expected, however I hadn't anticipated that their arrival would be an educational experience for me.

Since I am an adult, and capable of ordering my own shoes online, I am fully aware that my feet are kid-sized. What I wasn't aware of is the cognitive development level of the children who also wear this size.

Since the tag (pictured above) is clearly geared towards parents, it occurred to me that children wearing this size aren't even able to read yet. I decided to consult Google on the average age of children wearing a US size 2.5 shoe. The answer, you ask? 6! SIX!! Let's just say that it's been a few decades since I was six.
