A size 10 isn't the same everywhere — and unlike toddler sizes, most brands cut it differently for girls and boys. Here's where the brands on Little & Youth land with each, taken straight from every brand's own published size chart.

It depends on the brand and whether it's cut for a girl or a boy. A girls' size 10 runs bigger at Converse Kids, Old Navy, and Lands' End Kids and smaller at Bombas Kids, Champion Kids, and Children's Place. A boys' size 10 runs bigger at Garnet Hill, Old Navy, and Gap Kids and smaller at Brooks Brothers Kids, Converse Kids, and Bombas Kids. Most brands land in between.
Not always. Many brands publish one unisex size 10, but brands that split them cut the two a little differently — a girls' 10 typically fits about 53–56" and a boys' 10 about 53–56". If a brand offers both, check the one that matches your child.
At most brands, a size 10 fits a child roughly 53–56" (girls) or 53–56" (boys) tall. Because height is what actually determines fit, it's worth checking your child's height against the specific brand's size 10 rather than going by age.
A size 10 is designed with 10-year-olds in mind, but age is only a rough guide. Because it's built around height and build, plenty of kids wear a size 10 a year earlier or later than the label suggests — checking height against a specific brand's chart is far more reliable.
After a size 10, most brands move to a size 12. Sizing can shift noticeably at that step, so it's worth checking the next size's height range rather than assuming it picks up where size 10 left off.
Enter your child's measurements once and Little & Youth shows the size to buy across all 90+ brands on the site — girls' or boys', size 10 or otherwise — each pulled from that brand's own published chart.
