Heather D My nephew who is six wears a size 13 now but will soon be in a 14. What size would you reccomend? I'm so confused by kids sizing. Thank you.
JOHN G A child's size 13/14 is approximately equivelant to a Youth Size 1, which is approx 7.5 inches or a women's size 4/5...it really pays to try them on in a store first...but Leisure Pro has a liberal return policy...when you order the fins, and they are great starter fins for youth, tell the order taker the dilemna.
BRIAN M I'm not sure this is going to help, but Leisure Pro asked if I would respond (probably based on my repeat purchases of this fin). We ignored the US sizing (which may be unreliable) and tried to find the Euro sizing on all of our fins. For instance, the Clio in my hand right now is size 4, but it also says 37-38 on the bottom. I think the Euro sizing is continuous and usually more uniform across brands (in our experience); you don't have the confusion of jumping from Kids' sizes to Adult sizes. See if you can find the Euro sizing. Buy the next size up from the fin that was outgrown. If all you have to go by is your child's shoe size, then go online to find out how that should translate to a Euro size and buy based on the Euro size. Anyway, that's what I would do. Hope this helps. (Also, have you shown your child how to turn the heel inside out on a full foot fin to put the fin on? Otherwise she/he probably won't be able to put on a fin that is actually the correct size and she/he will choose a loose, oversize fin.)
