Brand sizing notes

BRAND notes – variations from the Start-rite sizes

If you are buying a shoe style from the Start-rite brand you do not need these notes - just order the size that you have already determined from the Start-rite size table.


Otherwise…


Many brands use the EU sizing convention. For these brands first use the Start-rite to EU conversion table (below), then see the notes for the brand you are buying.


Note – You’ll notice that some Start-rite sizes do not convert directly to an EU size (we have left these EU sizes blank in our table). With these it’s your choice as to which way you go, up or down. E.g. Start-rite size 6.5 Jnr falls between as 23 and 24 EU.


Widths – most European brands do not offer width options. If your child measures very wide (H) or very narrow (E) consider choosing a brand that does have width options.

 

Brand Size type Notes

Birkenstock EU Average to wide width fitting
