Girls · Shoes

Boys’ and girls’ shoe sizes are generally the same size, in terms of a boys’ size 4 will be the same as a girls’ size 4. There may be significant differences though in the shape and structure of the shoe that relate to the difference between girls’ and boys’ feet.

It varies from individual to individual, but foot growth will usually slow between the ages of 14 and 16, and stop entirely by around age 18.

It’s not advisable for girls to wear shoes that are significantly too big for them, as this may make it harder for them to walk, cause blisters and generally not be comfortable for them.
