Children’s Shoe Size Conversion: UK to EU
Children’s UK and EU shoe sizes do not line up perfectly, so conversion charts should be used with foot measurement and growing-room checks.
How to convert children’s UK to EU sizes
Use the kids conversion chart as a starting point, then check the brand’s own chart if the child is between sizes.
Kids sizing varies more than adult sizing because brands allow different amounts of growing room.
Fit checks for children
A child’s shoe should have enough toe room for comfort and growth, but not so much that the heel slips or the child trips.
- Measure both feet.
- Use the larger foot.
- Re-measure regularly during growth spurts.

What EU size is a child’s UK 10?
It depends on the chart, but UK 10 is commonly around EU 28. Check the kids chart and brand guide.
Are children’s EU sizes the same as adult EU sizes?
The numbering overlaps at larger kids sizes, but fit and growing room guidance differ.
