How it is calculated

UK child size = 3 × last length (in) − 12; UK adult size = 3 × last − 25. EU size = 1.5 × last length (cm), one Paris point being 2/3 cm. Combined: EU = 1.27 × (UK child + 12).

Example

Inputs: UK size = 10 (child). Result: EU size: 28; Exact value in Paris points: 27.94; Last length: 18.63 cm.

Limits and caveats

  • The EU size is rounded to a whole number; a few brands also sell half sizes.
  • Brands differ by half a size to a full size, so check the brand chart before you buy.
