Kids Shoe Size FAQ
Everything you need to know about converting and choosing the right children’s shoe size.
UK and EU children’s shoe sizes are not a simple fixed offset because they use different measuring scales (the UK uses barleycorns, the EU uses Paris points). As a rough rule of thumb, add 15 to 17 to the UK size to estimate the EU size, but for accuracy it is best to use a proper conversion chart or a foot length measurement, as the gap widens slightly at larger sizes.
A EU size 25 typically corresponds to a UK size 7.5 to 8, suitable for a foot length of around 17.5cm, which is common for toddlers around 2 to 3 years old. Always check the specific brand’s size chart as fit can vary slightly.
Stand your child on a piece of paper against a wall, mark the longest toe and the back of the heel, then measure the distance in centimetres. Measure both feet in the afternoon when they are slightly larger, and always size to the bigger foot, leaving roughly 0.5 to 1cm of growing room.
Yes. UK child sizing runs from around 0 to 13.5, after which it switches to the ‘youth’ or ‘junior’ scale, which restarts near size 1 and continues up to about 5.5 before merging into UK adult sizing.
