What kid shoe sizes are available?Updated 2 months ago
We currently carry children's U.S. size 5 - 5.5 tiny-tots, size 6 - 7.5 tots, size 8 - 13.5 kids, and size 1 - 4.5 youth, including whole and half sizes (availability varies by style). We estimate that PLAE shoes fit kids ages 1½ to 8 years. Please refer to our size conversion chart if you have any questions about your child's foot length and corresponding size in U.S., European or U.K. sizing. Got more questions about finding the right fit? Check out our kids shoe fit page.
We know how challenging it is to get the right fit, that's why we've designed a simple process you can use at home. Print out our PLAE FIT KIT and try it out! Still got questions about fit? No worries, just send us an email at [email protected] and we'll have our fit expert give you the best recommendation.
3D shoe fitting
We also realize that shoe sizing should not just be length and width, as feet are 3-dimensional objects! Our shoes come with interchangeable velcro straps (aka tabs) that come in 4 sizes for a more complete fit. Use a smaller tab for a narrower fit, or a longer tab for a higher instep or wider fit.
