It sounds like these run small. My son wears a size 11 or 12 shoe. If I get size 1-4 he'll have room to grow but will he swim in them now?

I think he may be border line swim but just wear a thick sock....there is really no other sizing for him..go for it.

I think it will be fine. My grandson wears a 10 but can skate in them and by summer they will be perfect. Would not have wanted to get them any smaller

I think you will be good. When I bought them my son was A size 10-11 and he does good with them. They are a little big however you can adjust the tightness with the latches. We also bought these because all the other ones in his normal show size was way too small and could not even get his foot in them. We really like these especially since it comes with all the protective gear.

I think he is borderline, he might be able to squeeze in for a little bit before outgrowing soon, esp. if he is tall. I bought XL pairs for my two kids. My daughter is almost 13 but about 82 pounds and short at about 5 feet. She can wear these pretty perfectly. The younger kid is even shorter but weighs more, like almost 90 pounds, and I don't think he's tried them yet but I think it will be a squeeze and he can only wear them this year. For your son, I agree, adult Men's sizes are way too big, the only other option he might have is a women's size XS if you do not risk the Kids XL.

Based on my experience, it seems that the seller corrected the differences on size and now it should fit with the normal size your kid use for other shoes. At least for adults is like that... However and being a kid (always growing...) I'd try with a bigger size and put some socks (I use gross socks to cushion the impact). Hope that this helps...

the ones I got and had to return ran very small for their size. I would say go up one or even two sizes... but they also run more toward lean kid... if got any kinda size that's not thin, you might have a problem... going up in size to fit body will prob make legs long....

My daughter is 7 and wears 12.5 shoes so I bought her the smallest size because it technically goes up to a size 1 (which is the next size up from 12.5). So they'd fit her now, but if her feet grow a lot in the next year you might only get one year out of them. If you get the next size up they may be a bit too big for her this year but they'd last longer as she grows.

They fit, like regular boy sizes. To me, the skates just run small so, I'd get a size bigger than your child's shoe size.

Hi John, I wear a size 11 but I bought size 12 because sometimes I wear heavy wool socks when the water is cold. With my neoprene stocking foot waders, they fit just right. I like a little bit of room rather than a tight fit.

I would say no because they run a little small. My son wears a 12 and they are a little tight on him. Hope this helps

I think you should go for 8-10 size. The suit has straps at ankle and elastic at wrist place. So little bigger size will not be a problem. I ordered 10-12 size for my 8 year old and it's perfect for him.

I purchased the next size up from my child shoe size and they both fit great and they were able to wear them for a while. Definitely go a little bigger cause you are able to tighten them with the strap around the ankle. Hope that helps :)

mine are really nice! I ordered a size 10 shoe and got a size ten shoe. Your son will like them a lot.

I purchased my son a "12" and it fit and he is 5 "1". I think your son my be in between sizes? I would get the 12 and if it doesn't fit the return it to amazon and get the 14. Lastly, buying wet suits on-line is REALLY hard.

fits my 11y/o who is 115# no problemUPdate: I see the other answer said they run small, not sure if that other person knows it expands? So I would say it might go up to fit a small man?

It really seemed that a size 13 in kids is super close to a size 1 to me. I would just get a size 1 for both. Hope this helps.

i can't speak to the childrens' sizes but adults run small. if you can, buy fins at a store where you can compare features and quality. yes, they're guaranteed and you can send them back but that's a pain in the neck.

Yes. My son wears an 11 and there is still room to grow with the skates. We bought them at Christmas and he still pulls them out of his closet to wear them now!

I believe you are talking child size 12. With that in mind I would suggest ex small or small. It is ok to wear a little big they move smoothly threw the water even when big. I am a swimmer not a sales person I could be wrong. Check with sport stores and see if they carry fins that she could try on. good luck. They do help adults and children.
