In short
Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 18M, Il Gufo, Mayoral, New Balance Kids cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.
Bottom line: for most sizes, a Macy's First Impressions number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.
