[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can help.

Boys and girls sizes are the same. Boys tend to be cut a little wider but it varies by brand.

"Crib shoes" are NOT the same as little kids. "Crib shoes" are 0, 1 2 3 and 4. They are cut a little big. An average 3-4 month old is a size 1.

"Baby" shoes are size 4-6 INFANT. An average 12 month old is about a size 5 and a wide but again there is NO uniformity in kids shoes, it's not like a mens 40 inch waist.

"Little kid" is 6.5-10. Think 2-3 year olds.

[b]"Big Kids"- this is where it gets hard- is 10.5 and up. It goes like this 
10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13, 13.5 THEN it jump to size 1 and goes 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 4, 4.5, 5, 5,5.5, 6, 6..5 and then 7. A boys 7 is about the same size as a mens 7 , maybe a little smaller but close and then kids sizes stop. [/b]

This is where you need your shoe PHD. You can convert kids and womens sizes for older girls. A kids 3.5 is a ladies 5. A kids 4 is a ladies 5.5. A kids 4.5 is a ladies 6 and so on. Take the kids size starting at a 3 , add 1.5 and you have your conversion for womens shoes. A "kids" 7 is a ladies 8.5. This is great to know for things like snow boots and uggs.

I hope that helps! [/quote]

Yeah but at some stores/brands they call it “[/i]toddler[i] 10.5, 11, 12, 13” which is confusing since typically it’s 4-6 year olds wearing those sizes, not toddlers![/quote]
Yes, some label them T for toddler, or C or K for kids, when they also overlap with toddler sizing. Generally if it has a letter next to the size (that's not W, for wide) than it's probably little kid (toddler through early elementary) sizing. [/quote]
