Kids Shoe Size Conversion Chart: A Guide To Children’s Feet
Drawing on our extensive experience in fitting children’s shoes, we have created a comprehensive conversion chart for kids’ shoe sizes, which includes measurements in centimetres and accurately represents the differences between UK, EU, and US sizes. Our conversion chart is particularly useful for parents and guardians who are shopping for school shoes, as getting the right fit is essential for a child’s comfort and foot health. While we recommend using our chart as a guide, we always advise seeking the advice of a professional when purchasing school shoes to ensure a personalised fit.

How Do Kids Shoe Sizes Work?
Children’s shoe sizes typically range from a UK infant size 2 to a UK junior size 6. When comparing UK and US sizes, it’s important to note that the UK size is one size smaller than the comparable US size. However, converting from EU sizes can be confusing and may result in purchasing the wrong size when shopping online. This can be particularly challenging for kids’ shoe sizes, so it’s important to take extra care when making conversions.
How To Measure Kids Feet?
The importance of ensuring your kids’ foot is allowed to develop naturally through precisely fitted shoes cannot be overstated. Measuring is only part of the process, with the fit of the shoe equally important. This is why we recommend visiting a qualified shoe fitter.
However, when shoe-fitting experts are not available, you may have to measure your child’s feet at home. Thankfully, we are here to help make this process stress-free. Read our blog on How to Fit Kids Shoes at Home.
