Find Your Size
European sizes are based on your child’s height in centimeters. Because kids of the same age can be different sizes, height is the best guide for fit.
Enter your child’s height in inches, and we’ll show the closest CM size range. This correlates to the first number in the size option. ie: 98 or 122. If CM sizing is not provided, simply choose the age provided.
💡 Tip: These are general guidelines. Always check specific brand size charts when possible, as sizing can vary between manufacturers.
