Children’s clothing sizes

Children’s sizes are divided by growth rate, so the table shows a double size for smaller children. For bigger children, the main parameter in the size chart is child’s height in cm (hereinafter in centimeters). Most attention is paid to height of a child, if size is on the edge between other two sizes in the table, we recommend taking the largest one.

Children’s hat sizes

Sizes of children’s hats are calculated from a circumference of child’s head. If a measure is on the edge, take a larger size because girls have to lay their hair bands and hair clips under it.

The sizes of newborn’s hats are easier to determine, because these hats are divided into several types and the manufacturers carefully follow sizes of the tables to fit each model, whether it is hat like a beanie or just hat tied under a chin. Don’t worry, if your baby isn’t born yet and you want to buy a hat, simply follow the column in the table that shows the sizes of baby clothes by age, as babies are quite accurate in sizes up to 6 months.

Newborn	XXXS	35-40
3-6 months	XXS	42-44
6-12 months	XS	44-46
18-24 months	S	47-50
4-6 years	M	50-52
8-12 years	L	53-55

Children’s shoe sizes

Parents are most often confused about how to measure and determine a size of children’s shoes. If you buy shoes online without measuring them, please note that it is very important to follow an individual size chart for each brand. You will find it in our store under the product, where it will be marked “View size chart”. If necessary, if you are confused about the size of children’s shoes, please contact us!

If you are looking for what criteria measure a child’s shoes, then it is by a length and width of a foot. To determine exact size of shoe, place a sheet of white paper under one child’s foot. Child should stand on both feet without kneeling. Wrap around foot and measure with a tape measure from a furthest point of heel to a tip of longest toe. Remember to add 1 to 1.5 cm to a size on a paper. It depends on seasonality of shoes. For size of children’s winter shoes should add extra 1.5 cm, but adding extra 1 cm will suffice for summer shoes.

In this table we offer a comparison of children’s shoe sizes in the UK, children’s sizes in the USA with our European shoe size chart.
