Understanding Kids Shoe Sizes in Australia
In Australia, kids' shoe sizes are measured in both centimetres and numerical sizes. However, sizing can vary across different regions, including the US, UK, and EU. This can make it tricky to buy shoes from international retailers or brands. Our Kids Shoe Size Chart helps convert US shoe sizes to AUS, UK to AUS shoe sizes, and EU to AUS sizes so you can always be confident in your purchase.

Tips for Finding the Right Fit
- Measure both feet: Children’s feet are often slightly different sizes, so always measure both and choose the larger foot’s measurement.
- Account for growth: Kids grow quickly, so you may want to choose shoes that are slightly larger to allow for growth. However, avoid shoes that are too big, as they can cause discomfort.
- Check the fit: When trying on shoes, ensure there’s about a thumb’s width of space at the front of the shoe. This provides enough room for the toes to move comfortably.
FAQs About Kids Shoe Size Conversion
Measure your child’s foot from heel to toe in centimetres. Compare the measurement with our Kids Shoe Size Chart to determine the correct size.
Kids’ feet grow rapidly, particularly in the first few years. We recommend checking shoe sizes every 3-6 months to ensure a proper fit.
If your child’s feet are between sizes, it’s often best to size up, especially if they are in a growth spurt. However, make sure the shoes aren’t too loose, as this can cause discomfort.
Different countries use different sizing systems. By using our US to AUS shoe size, UK to AUS shoe size, and EU to AUS shoe size charts, you ensure that your child gets the correct fit, no matter where the shoes are made.
Always base the shoe size on your child’s foot measurement, as kids’ feet grow at different rates. Age is only a rough guideline, and foot measurement is more accurate.
