I run a kids camp every summer. At our new venue there is a river where we can paddle, so all the kids need wellies. I want to take a box/bag of spare wellies as I know some will turn up without them.

so, quick survey, kids age and foot size please! (UK or EU sizes please)
(my own kids have giant feet, dd aged 12 is size 8, sadly they take after me, so I am useless at shoe sizes)

6 year old = size 12 (little 12s)
9 year old = size 5 (adult :) )

My mum (66) = size 3.....

That was really helpful.
I was not expecting to need to go down so far with smaller sizes!
I was expecting to need some larger ones, as my ds had size 10 feet before the end of primary and is now a size 13.
dd2 has just finished primary school a size 8!

I have great sympathy for all tose trying to buy for larger footed children.

With all that information I can also see which is the most common size (4) and how the rest fall out.

So (for those of you who like numbers) the bulk fall between a 13 and a 5.

But looking at who replied, I have LOTS of 6, 10 and 12 year olds.

low numbers of 8 and 9!

DD (11) size 5 (same size as her older sister)

She was a size 3 a year ago and size 2 the year before if that helps at all!

My 8, almost 9 year old is a 1.5.

She plays a sport with ten other 9ish year olds, they are almost all a 1 or a 2, with the exception of 2 who are 3’s.

Just turned 6, size 1.

Wincher · 18/11/2019 22:32

DS1 (9): 1
DS2 (6): 12

Most kids in DS1’s year 5 class have much bigger feet, generally size 3-6.

Bonkersblond · 18/11/2019 22:36

DD 11 - size 1

Bumfuzzled · 18/11/2019 22:37

8 year old DD size 12.5. At 6 she was about a 9 or 10, really diddy.

My DS at 4 has size 11.5 feet so I imagine he will be a lot bigger by 6!

Sirzy · 18/11/2019 22:37

Ds is 10 and a size 13

AtSea1979 · 18/11/2019 22:38

DD 10 - size 7

Such a difference to bonkersblond

yellowplumpreserves · 18/11/2019 22:39

Probably not much help as my kids are all pretty tall for their age:

DD11 - 5/6
DD9 - 3/4
DD6 - 1
DD4 - 11/12

However, they tend to be about two years bigger in clothes than their age, so perhaps thinking of it as below might help.

Age 11 - 3/4
Age 8 - 1
Age 6 - 11/12

DS2 (10) has size 8.5 feet. He is tall though

Think he'll take after his big brother, who at 16 wears size 12 or 13 Confused

lightandairy56 · 18/11/2019 23:13

Age 11 twins; one has size 5 and one has size 4.5 uk

ShinyGiratina · 18/11/2019 23:15

My 6 & 8yo both have size 12 feet. Blooming annoying as I have to buy everything in duplicate as I can't pass them down.

I'm size 2... I like to confuse new brownies by throwing in my shoes during the shoe game. Grin
