Shoe sizes can vary significantly depending on the region (US, UK, EU), gender, and individual differences, but there are general averages for shoe sizes by age group for both children and adults. Here’s a basic chart to give you an idea of typical shoe sizes by age:
Children’s Shoe Size Chart (US Size)
| Age Group | Average Shoe Size (US) |
|---|---|
| Infants (0-6 months) | 0 – 2 |
| Infants (6-12 months) | 2 – 4 |
| Toddlers (1-2 years) | 4 – 6 |
| Toddlers (2-3 years) | 6 – 8 |
| Kids (3-4 years) | 8 – 10 |
| Kids (4-5 years) | 10 – 12 |
| Kids (5-6 years) | 12 – 13 |
| Kids (6-7 years) | 13 – 1 (Youth) |
| Youth (7-8 years) | 1 – 3 (Youth) |
| Youth (8-9 years) | 3 – 5 (Youth) |
| Youth (9-10 years) | 5 – 7 (Youth) |
Teenagers (Ages 10-18)
At this age, shoe sizes can vary greatly, but typically:
- Girls (10-18 years): US sizes range from 6 to 10
- Boys (10-18 years): US sizes range from 7 to 13
Adult Shoe Size Chart (US Size)
| Age Group | Average Shoe Size (US) |
|---|---|
| Adult Women | 7 – 9 |
| Adult Men | 9 – 12 |
Important Notes:
- These are average ranges and can vary based on genetics, health conditions, and other factors.
- Shoe sizes for children will typically keep increasing rapidly until their early teens.
- After reaching adulthood, shoe sizes tend to stabilize, though they can change slightly with age due to factors like weight gain or changes in foot structure.
The shoe sizes mentioned are based on US sizing. In other regions (like Europe or the UK), shoe sizes will be different. For example, a US size 8 for women is typically a European size 39. Always check the specific sizing chart of a brand before buying shoes to ensure a good fit.
