Are Boys & Girls Shoe Sizes The Same?

Generally, kids’ shoe sizes are not gender-specific, particularly for smaller children.

Some brands, like Skechers, make no distinction at all between kids’ sizes in terms of gender. Other brands, like GEOX, begin differentiating only for older kids, with different sizing applying to teen girls and boys in some shoe styles.

The general rule of thumb you can follow is that shoe sizes for smaller boys and girls are the same. If there is any variation in sizing, refer to our size guides to help find the correct fit for your child.
