The shoe fitting system comprises a shoe having at least one translucent portion containing reference markings to permit the viewing of the position of portions of a foot in the shoe in comparison to the reference markings to determine the fit of the shoe relative to the foot. The markings are positioned to indicate the optimal position of the foot in the shoe at the time of purchase of the shoe. The markings are positioned to indicate the position of the foot in thee shoe at such time as the foot is about to outgrow the shoe. The shoe further contains a sound producing device for generating an audio signal when a foot inserted in the shoe begins to outgrow the shoe.
