Kids Shoe Size Country Converter

Find the Right Fit for US, UK, EU, Japan

Finding the perfect pair of shoes for your child can be challenging, especially when sizes vary from country to country. A UK size 5 isn’t the same as a US size 5, and European sizes add another layer of complexity. That’s why we created this easy-to-use Kids Shoe Size Converter—simply enter the shoe size you have, and the tool will instantly provide the equivalent sizes in UK, US, EU, CM, and Inches.

How to Use the Kids Shoe Size Converter

Using the tool is simple:

  1. Enter your child’s shoe size in the measurement system you know (UK, US, EU, CM, or Inches).
  2. The tool will automatically convert the size into the other measurement systems.
  3. If needed, click Reset to clear the fields and enter a new size.
  4. Inches and Centimenters: If you only know the child’s foot size in inches or centimeters, use this tool to shoe foot size in US, EU, UK and japn sizes.

This ensures you get the right fit, whether you’re shopping online from an international store or buying shoes during travel.

Does Gender Matter in Kids’ Shoe Sizes?

For kids’ shoe sizes, gender does not matter. Unlike adult shoes, where there are separate size charts for men and women, children’s shoe sizes are unisex across most brands and countries. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Width Differences: Some brands offer “boys” and “girls” shoes with slightly different width options, but the actual size number remains the same.
  • Style Variations: Girls’ shoes may have narrower fits in some brands, while boys’ shoes can be slightly wider. If a child has wider or narrower feet, measuring in centimeters (CM) or inches can help find the best fit.
  • Teen Sizes vs. Kids’ Sizes: Once kids grow into youth sizes (US size 7+ or UK size 6+), brands sometimes separate them into “boys” and “girls” categories, but the conversion itself remains the same.

For the shoe size converter, gender does not impact the numbers—so the tool will work for all kids’ shoe sizes, regardless of gender.

Why Shoe Size Conversion Matters

Shoe sizing isn’t universal—different countries use different systems, and even within the same country, brands may have slight variations. Here’s why a reliable shoe size converter is useful:

  • Online Shopping: If you’re ordering shoes from another country, knowing the correct size helps avoid returns.
  • Traveling: Buying shoes abroad? Convert sizes to ensure your child gets a comfortable fit.
  • Brand Differences: Some brands use US sizes, while others use UK or EU sizing. A conversion chart ensures accuracy.

Understanding Kids’ Shoe Sizes

Shoe sizes for children are different from adult sizes and can change frequently as they grow. Here’s what you need to know:

  • UK vs. US Sizing: UK kids’ sizes are usually one size smaller than US sizes.
  • EU Sizing: European sizes use a different scale based on foot length in centimeters.
  • CM & Inches: Measuring in centimeters or inches provides the most accurate fit, especially for brands with varied sizing.

Common Questions About Kids’ Shoe Sizes

How often should I check my child’s shoe size?

Children’s feet grow quickly, so checking every 2-3 months is recommended, especially for toddlers.

What if my child’s shoe size falls between two sizes?

If your child’s measurement is between sizes, it’s best to go up a half-size for growing room.

Are US and UK toddler shoe sizes the same?

No, UK toddler sizes are typically one size smaller than US toddler sizes.

Can I use centimeters or inches instead of traditional sizing?

Yes! Many international brands list shoe sizes in CM or Inches. Our tool includes these options to ensure accurate conversion.

Do kids’ shoe sizes differ for boys and girls?

Not in terms of the size number itself. The main difference is in width and styling, with some brands offering slightly narrower fits for girls’ shoes and wider fits for boys’ shoes. The conversion remains the same.
