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 UK 6 kids' shoe is a EU 23 on the standard chart, and the EU number climbs roughly one and a half points per UK whole size through the range shown here — a steeper ratio than the adult women's or men's EU scale.
European children's shoe brands sold online are the main reason to use this specific direction: they list EU sizes exclusively, and a UK number alone won't tell you which one to order without the conversion table.
Frequently asked questions
Does the UK-to-EU kids' ratio match the adult version?
Not exactly — children's EU sizes climb a little faster relative to UK whole sizes than the adult chart does, since a child's foot grows through more distinct length bands over a shorter number range.
