Sizing Notes

Between sizes? Size up for comfort. Size down for a snugger performance fit.

Climbing shoes run slightly small. Order your child's normal size for a comfortable fit. As they progress and want more precision, go down 0.5 EU.

Growing fast? If your child is between sizes, go up — climbing shoes should fit snugly but never cause pain.
