Youth

Kids’ feet grow quickly, so whether or not you’re in the market for new shoes, it’s important to stay in touch with how well their shoes fit. On top of the confusing overlap of toddlers’ and kids’ sizes, brands and retailers like to use different terms to describe toddlers’ and kids’ shoes, making it challenging to know exactly what you’re looking at. The variety of terms you’re likely to see include, baby, walker, toddler, little kid, big kid and youth. Terms like baby, walker, toddler and little kid usually apply to the toddlers’ sizes ranging from 0–13, while other terms, like big kid and youth, tend to apply to kids’ sizes 1–7. At RareAirewear , we generally stick to the industry standard terms toddlers(1C-10C), Little Kids(11C-3Y) and Big Kids(3.5Y-7Y). We carry youth sizes from 1C infant shoes to a 7Y 'Big Kid's' shoe, and nearly every size in between.
