What is the Biggest Kids’ Shoe Size? – Find Out Now!
Kids’ shoe sizes can be tricky—especially when transitioning into adult sizes. The largest youth shoe size is a 7. Once your child outgrows that, they move into adult sizing. For boys, it’s simple: a youth size 7 is followed by a men’s size 7.5. For girls, the transition is a bit different. After a youth size 7, the next size up is typically a women’s size 8.5 to 9, since there’s about a 1.5 size difference between girls’ and women’s shoes. It can definitely be confusing, but understanding this size jump makes shopping much easier.
Take a look at the table below—it’s a quick and easy way to visualize how girls’ shoe sizes convert to women’s sizes, making the transition much simpler to understand.
| Girls | 3.5 | 4 | 4.5 | 5 | 5.5 | 6 | 6.5 | 7 |
| Women | 5 | 5.5 | 6 | 6.5 | 7 | 7.5 | 8 | 8.5 |
