Sizing conventions vary by brand and by cut — this table shows the standard published conversion. Always check the garment's own size chart when one is available. See how these tables are compiled.
A EU 28 kids' shoe converts to a UK 10 on the standard chart, which is the number a parent buying from a European children's brand needs before comparing it against a home shoe rack sized in UK numbers.
Because European kids' shoe brands often only publish a foot-length-in-cm chart alongside the EU size, checking that length figure against a home foot measurement is more reliable for a growing foot than relying on the EU number alone.
Frequently asked questions
Is a EU-to-UK kids' shoe conversion reliable for a growing foot?
It's a reasonable starting point, but children's feet can grow half a size in a few months — measuring foot length directly against the brand's own cm chart is worth doing for anything bought without a fitting.
