Children's shoe size

Greetings ...

I need to buy a pair of children's shoes for a friend in Colombia. Her nephew wears a Colombian size 13 1/2 (I think). Does anyone know what size that would be in American shoe sizes?

Thank you.

Not sure, but... knowing the child's age might help. 13 1/2 almost sounds like a US size. To give you an idea, I bought some shoes last year for a child who was 5, and I think the size was 26. Here it was like 2 or thereabouts. If you go to a department store and look inside the shoe, it gives US and UK or European measurements. The ones generally used in Colombia are the UK measurements.

I'd check and see if the number she gave you was for there, or here.
