Once again, as with men’s and women’s shoe sizes in Mexico, kids’ shoe sizes also follow foot length in centimeters. Similarly, Mexican kids’ shoe sizes diverge from the usual shoe sizing standards used in the US, UK or Europe, and for the same reason: Mexican children are relatively smaller than kids in other western countries. Mexican kids’ shoe sizes start with a size 9, which is a US size 1, measuring 3 ⅝ inches. Sizes continue on through 10, 11, 12 and so on up to size 24, which in the US is a size 6Y or 9 ¾ inches. Each size in kids’ Mexican shoes have a ⅜” or 0.375-inch differential between sizes.
