PaperKrane Size Chart
FOR BEST RESULTS...
These size charts are specific to Paperkrane shoes, and may differ from your usual footwear so we always recommend you measure before ordering.
- Measure BOTH feet. (Use the measurements from the longer one)
- Look where those measurements fit within the "BEST FIT" column.
- The BEST FIT takes into account having between 7mm - 12mm wiggle room in front of your toes. If your foot measurements are closer to the end of the "BEST FIT" recommendation, then we would suggest the next size up.
If needing more detailed instructions on "How to Measure" please scroll down below the size charts.
HOW TO MEASURE
Stand with feet on a piece of paper, and mark where the end of the longest toe/s are, and middle point of the back of the heel.
Use a ruler to measure between those two points. (Use your longest foot measurement - Look at the "BEST FIT" column to see where the foot fits best.
* If closer to the end of the "BEST FIT" measurements then the next size up will be a better choice.
For most comfortable fit, aim to have up to 7-12mm of extra space in the shoe.
If socks will be worn in the shoes, pop on the socks and then measure in the same manner.
We include a width measurement across the ball of the shoe, this is a measurement of the FLATTEST part of the sole, so there is always more available space than stated, as the sole curves out and up giving your feet more room to spread.
Paperkrane shoes also have a natural rubber sole that is able to flex with a foot, which helps accommodate feet that have more width.
While the available length measurements are the same across all styles, the upper construction affects the fit and feel of the shoe.
Fun, colourful design featuring Australian animals. Velcro fastenings.
PaperKrane barefoot shoes are optimal for creating perfect foot freedom because they’re featherweight (light), flat (zero drop), foot-shaped (wider toe box) and flexible. But at the same time, they are FUN!
VELCRO PK | CONSTRUCTION
- FLEXI - Natural rubber sole that packs a punch in the flex department, stitched sole.
- Leather details and printed poly-cotton uppers.
To find your closest fit please refer to the PK - SIZE CHART
The printed fabric velcro shoes in adult sizes tend to feel a little tighter due to the materials used. So if you're snug or close to the end in your usual size, Paperkrane suggests going up a size.
SHOE CARE | CLEANING
- To make cleaning your PKs easier we suggest treating with a waterproof stain protector first.
- FLEXI SOLES - Spot clean or gentle hand wash - we don't recommend machine washing.
Colours may vary from screen to screen, and pattern placement (if printed fabric) will vary from pair to pair. As with any item made from fabric or leather, wear and tear is part of the normal life of this item.
DESIGN
For this special pair of shoes, Paperkrane has collaborated with world-renowned Australian artist duo, Gillie and Marc.
Gillie and Marc have created a special Australian themed print for this pair of shoes. The print is based on their artwork, 'Lewis and a few of our favourite things'.
Lewis is the little koala who was rescued from Australia's terrible bushfires in 2019. Sadly Lewis and many other koalas lost their lives that summer, and koalas are now devastatingly on the endangered species list.
This pair is part of Paperkrane's SOLES with SOUL initiative. Paperkrane is working to support Currumbin Wildlife Hospital who help rescue and rehabilitate tens of thousands of koalas and other native Australian animals every year and operate solely on donations.

Plae Shoes Size Chart
All sizes published on our website are US sizes. Please note that size availability varies by style. Make sure to refer to our kids’ shoe size conversion chart below if you have any questions about your child’s foot length and the corresponding size in European, or UK sizing.
If your child has a fuller foot or a higher instep, you may need to go up a tab size. If your child has a very narrow foot or low instep, you may want to go down a size. If you require different tabs please email us.
How should I measure my child's feet for the best fit?
We know how challenging it is to get the right fit. Just measure the length of your child's foot and match it to the cm size on the chart below. To be doubly sure, you can use the Plae Shoes Fit Kit! Ensure you print the sheet at full size, with scaling off!
Still got questions about fit? No worries, just send us an email.
What about orthotics and AFOs?
We've had many enquiries about whether plae kids shoes will work with orthotics and AFOs. The unique design and engineering of plae shoes and interchangeable tabs allow for accommodation of orthotics and AFOs. A wider shoe opening allows for easy entry. The insoles can be removed, and a wider toe box gives you that extra needed space. The interchangeable tabs (velcro straps) come in different lengths including extra-long to allow for a custom fit.
