It depends on the brand and whether it's cut for a girl or a boy. A girls' size 7 runs bigger at Converse Kids, Old Navy, and Garnet Hill and smaller at Levi's Kids, H&M Kids, and Bombas Kids. A boys' size 7 runs bigger at Target Cat & Jack, Garnet Hill, and Fabletics and smaller at U.S. Polo Assn., Levi's Kids, and Children's Place. Most brands land in between.
Not always. Many brands publish one unisex size 7, but brands that split them cut the two a little differently — a girls' 7 typically fits about 46½–50½" and a boys' 7 about 46½–50½". If a brand offers both, check the one that matches your child.
At most brands, a size 7 fits a child roughly 46½–50½" (girls) or 46½–50½" (boys) tall. Because height is what actually determines fit, it's worth checking your child's height against the specific brand's size 7 rather than going by age.
A size 7 is designed with 7-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 7 a year earlier or later than the label suggests — checking height against a specific brand's chart is far more reliable.
After a size 7, most brands move to a size 8. 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 7 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 7 or otherwise — each pulled from that brand's own published chart.
