Orleans Shoe Co. — Fitted in Person
Kids' Hoka
The Clifton 10 in little kids and big kids sizes. Plenty of foam and a rocker sole, sized down for school, recess and a full day of parades.
The thing everybody gets wrong
Don't Buy Two Sizes Up
It's tempting to buy big so they grow into it. But a shoe that's too long makes kids trip, slide around and get blisters. A thumb's width past the longest toe is all the growing room they need. When that's gone, it's time for the next size.
What We Carry
The Clifton 10 for kids, in Rose Cream and all white. It's built like the grown-up Clifton: thick foam and a curved sole that rolls them forward. Good for kids who are on their feet all day, and for kids who want the same shoe as mom or dad.
School Shoes Are Coming In
We're bringing in more school shoes across all our kids' brands, including HOKA. Need a certain color for a uniform? Call us and we'll tell you what's coming. The all-white Clifton already works for schools that call for white shoes. See uniform and school shoes.
Hoka Kids' Sizes
| Stage | Sizes | Roughly Ages |
|---|---|---|
| Little Kids | 11 – 3 | 4 to 7 |
| Big Kids | 4½ – 7 | 8 to 12 |
Hoka kids' shoes are US sized. After 13½, kids' sizes start over at 1. Ages are only a guide — measure, don't guess.
How a Kid's Shoe Should Fit
- About a thumb's width past the longest toe. No more
- Their foot shouldn't bulge over the sides of the sole
- The heel stays down when they walk
- Watch them walk away from you. If they drag a foot or walk funny, something's off
Kids' feet can grow a half size every few months, and most kids won't tell you their shoes hurt. If the last pair still looks new, check the fit anyway.
