Buying kids shoes

Buying kids shoes can be tricky! Shoe sizes tend to vary from the UK, US and Europe, and they’re not always converted into NZ sizing. 

Use our international shoe conversion chart to help you buy the right sized shoes for your little ones, especially when you're buying online.

As you know children grow at different rates and different stages, and shoe manufacturers' sizes vary from country to country, so bear this in mind and use the chart as a guide only.

It’s really important that you take your child to a shoe shop with qualified fitters first and try a few pairs on to make sure you’re getting the right shoe size.
