Here’s how New Balance Kids fits your child compared to other brands you might be considering, so you know before it’s in your cart.
What size is (and isn’t) like New Balance Kids at other brands?
Find your child’s New Balance Kids size on the left. Twins wear the same number the same way — your size carries straight over. Strangers use the same number but cut it shorter or longer, so don’t trust the label alone.

In short
Where the number just works. At 36M, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15, 15-16, New Balance Kids lines up with every brand we track — the size carries straight over.
Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 3-4, Uniqlo Kids cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.
Bottom line: for most sizes, a New Balance Kids number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.
