UK Size Conversion Table

The easiest way to search for shoes on our website is by UK size. We have created a handy conversion table which will allow you to convert the centimetre (cm) measurement of your child’s feet into the recommended UK shoe size that you need. You can then use this UK size to search for shoes on our website.

How to use our conversion table

The conversion is based on the actual foot measurement and then takes into consideration the additional 0.8cm for growing room to give the correct size of shoe required.

For example if the foot measurement is 12.2cm, using the conversion table below you need to search for shoes in a UK4. This will then provide you with a selection of shoes that have an internal length of approximately 13cm. 

Please read our step-by-step sizing guide on how to adjust this size for different styles and widths.

Our measuring device

If you have used our measuring device to measure the length of your child's foot, please make sure you use the actual foot measurement when using this table.

To get the actual foot length you need to use the measurement taken from the white bar as shown below. The shoes you buy should then correspond to the measurement indicated by the arrow in the window which includes an allowance for growing room.
