When to Start Your Fleegle Heel, Based On Shoe Size
If you like giving your Fleegle Heel socks as a gift or a surprise, you’ll know that needing the recipient’s foot to measure to the front of the ankle is a big stumbling block.
No longer! Now you can estimate when to start the heel based on the recipient’s shoe or foot size. I have calculated that you should start the heel at about 60% of the foot length. This may not be accurate for everyone’s foot, so when in doubt, ask them to measure.
To estimate based on the recipient’s shoe size or foot measurements, use the chart below:

I always find Pinterest very difficult to navigate. You offer free patterns but very few am I actually able to find

Thanks for the Fleegle heel charts, Liat! My favorite heel! Is that your sweet little boy modeling the hat? 🥰
Hi Bobbie,
You’re so welcome! I’m glad these are going to be useful for you.
That’s actually our neighbor’s baby, I took the photo more than a year ago, so he’s even bigger now. Here is our baby (now more than two years old!) modeling the hat, also about a year ago:
He’s SO cute, Liat! All boy!
