Alright, in search for shoes fit for a prince... i wasn't able to find anything really. So I went into formal wear for mens. then i noticed it only went down to 6 in mens, and I am a three...
So I then went into boys shoes, and sizes... but I don't know what size i would be. u n u.
Here are what i was looking at when i came to the question: Here

I don't know if I am a boy 3, or if boy sizes are smaller, or anything...
I can't even wrap my mind around the size charts. Could someone help me?

-- Sorry if this is in wrong area --

Also- topic:
Have you ever worn shoes outside your gender?
Know your size in the opposite gender?

I'm not sure how the sizes translate, but you can always ask someone at the store to measure your feet. They have those metal foot things all over the place. Then you'll know for sure. smile And don't be shy about it, it's not nearly as awkward as a guy asking for his size in women's. Gals are lucky that way.

Never worn guys shoes, only guy hats. sad I'm no help at all. -__-;

I just feel awkward posting here normally. -nervous new guy kinda thing-
and yeah i can imagine (with a guy asking in female sizes) I'm a 6 in females and 3 in males.... My boyfriend is a 13... lol. I can't imagine his size in females.
And i thought about that... i guess I'll go out sooner or later... hit the second hand store and a shoe place.

nono, it's okay. Having someone at least reply helps more then you know.

Maybe someone can help you measure your feet in a shoe store nearby?

A pair of my sneakers are actually mens.
My big feet are a size 7 men's, size 9/10 woman's.

To try and help:
It would make sense boy's are smaller than men's shoes. But I don't know exactly how it works.
I say if you don't wanna ask for help (I never do) just find a pair of shoes that look like they fit and try em. If it feels like it fits, there's your size.
If not, go up or down sizes accordingly. xD
It's how I find mine. I've never used a chart. o___e

lmao...
I'll try measuring the size of my foot then find a chart that has sizes from cm converting into mens and females... Something like that at least.

Yyyyyyyup. xd
If it weren't for trial-and-error,
I don't think I'd ever actually get anything done.

yeah, I forgot that men and women's sizes run differently when you get into childrens sizes. Why can't they just measure things like they do with mens pants, by inches? ha ha

My fiance's a size 14 wide. I don't think they make womens boats big enough for him... O__o

But yeah, they're totally right, just try some on. Are you near a childrens footlocker or payless or something like that?

trial and error is my basis for everything.

Except this body scrub.
Came out perfectly the first time I've made it.
But that's besides the point. xD

I'm working with U.S. sizes here, since that's all I'm really familiar with from my training.

With shoes meant for kids, you have to make sure you're noting the difference between Toddler Shoes and Kids Shoes. On that site, what's listed between Toddler 8 and the first Boys 1 are going to be Toddler. Everything else are Kids. I wear a size 7 to an 8 in Women's shoes, and a 6 to a 7 in Men's. In Kids, I wear a 6 most comfortably (Girl's dress shoes only run to about a 5 normally, though, so my Girl's shoes are a bit too tight.)

Since you say you'd wear a 3 in Men's (which is virtually nonexistent, sadly), I'm guessing you're a size 5 in Women's, which would put you at about a 4 in Girl's and Boy's shoes. Try going to a local shoe store and trying on a few pairs of size 4s and see if they work for you, though, before you buy online, and remember, shoes sizes are relative to the materials and style, so while you wear a 4 in one shoe, in another, you could need a 5, or even a 3.
