How youth to women's sizing works
For US shoe sizes, big kids and youth sizes often convert to women's sizes by adding about 1.5. That means 4Y is close to women's 5.5, 5Y is close to women's 6.5, and 7Y is close to women's 8.5.
This is a practical shopping estimate, not a guarantee. Sneakers, boots, sandals, and dress shoes can fit differently because of toe shape, width, cushioning, and brand sizing.

Fit tips before ordering
- Measure both feet while standing and use the larger foot.
- If a brand lists centimeters or inches, compare foot length first.
- For wide feet, athletic shoes may feel better with a half size up or a wide width.
- For kids crossing into women's sizes, remember that women's shoes may be shaped narrower than big kids shoes.
