Kids shoe sizes, UK conversion?
 

hey,

I want to bring my niece some funky Birks when we go over in two weeks time. My bro says she's a size 1 but I'm getting conflicting info as to what size that is in the UK? One website said 32, one said 32, another said 13?! :confused:

Can anyone shed any light on this?

ta!

Hi, just looked at my girls shoes which are a mix of UK and OZ.

The last shoes we bought in the UK were Clark's size 1 and a half (March 2009), the latest shoes we bought here were Target size 2 (last week). She has obviously grown between the two fittings, but I would have said that the sizes are slightly smaller here i.e. a 2 is more like a 1 and a half. So if your neice is a size 1 in Oz i would suggest either 13 and a half or go for the 1 so she can grow into them and they can last all summer.

Also ask if they are a small fit or a large fit i.e the girls would be 1 and a half in Clark's but only a 1 in Start-rite.

The 32 etc is obviously European sizes, I never bothered to learn them because all of the shops knew which pair to give me when I said I needed a size 1 etc. The girls' Sketchers are a 13 and a half and it says on them that it is a 33 and their Heeleys are a size 13 which says 32.5 European, so I would guess a 1 is 33.5.

Hope this helps

I would never buy shoes without trying them on.

We bought 3 pairs for my daughter recently, size 4, 5 and 6. All of them fitted her. :lol:

Well it's not my first choice but we're in London and she's in Australia and we want to bring her a present. It's kind of an on-going joke about how many pairs of shoes she has already. I think I'll play it safe and get a bigger size, she'll grow into them! :thumbup:

Birkenstocks really have to fit well or they will be very uncomfortable, the bumps will be in the wrong places.

I am a UK 6, Aus/US 8.5, and a 39 in Birks. They're quite generous sizing, I've found. (I have tons of them.)

Why not treat her to some here?
