Why does a children’s US size appear twice?
US child numbering restarts after the smaller children’s sequence. A US 8 little-kid label and a US 8 big-kid label refer to very different foot lengths. Select the stage for reverse lookup. Age alone does not determine a size, and this chart does not convert adult US labels.

| 22 | 6 | Little kid | 13.6 |

How to measure and read CN labels
Measure heel to longest toe while standing, and compare the longer foot with the product instructions. A millimetre foot-length label such as 185 means 18.5 cm. A marketplace label such as CN 30 may instead mean an EU-style label; ask the seller before selecting that input type. Inside shoe length includes internal space and must not be treated as foot length.
Between sizes and toddler labels
The tool shows both neighbouring rows for an in-between foot length. It does not silently round up, extrapolate beyond 13.6–25.7 cm, or translate a toddler’s age into a shoe size. Product shape, width and brand fitting instructions still matter.

Reference answer
In the H&M child footwear reference, an 18.5 cm foot length is EU-style 30 / US little-kid 12. US little-kid and big-kid numbering are different sequences.
Scope: H&M chart only; age is not a shoe-size formula.
