Help me understand shoe sizes...

in Omaha Nesties
DD has huge feet, last year she wore 9.5 in ballet shoes and this year she is in 11.5... anyways, I went to buy her new tennis shoes in a size 11.  How do the sizes work?  It goes 11, 12, 13, 1, 2??  Explain that logic to me!  I'm preparing myself to skip another 2 sizes over the next year, so I need the algorithm to be prepared if I start looking at 13 or 1 or what.

    yes--11, 12, 13, then 1, etc.

    Dance shoes (like, the actual dance brands, not the stuff at Payless) always run different than street shoes as well.

    Peyton is 2 sizes up in dance shoes, Berkeley is 2 as well.

    I know dance shoes are typically a little larger, however her foot is really a size 11 in regular shoes!  And has grown 2 sizes since last year.  How does 11, 12, 13, then 1 make any sense?  Ha!

    the 11-13 are still considered toddler sizes, 1 + moves them up to girl sizes.

    The shoes I bought today were girl sizes Crying, they went from size 11 to 6.  The other ones I looked at in toddlers only went to 10 (Sketchers brand).  She's too big, makes me sad.

    And THEN somewhere around size 2-3, they start overlapping with women's shoes. Because I wear a 5 in womens, but I can wear a 2.5 or 3 in girls!

    Same problem, different ends of the shoe spectrum! I usually can only find velcro shoes with Barbie or chunky-heeled mary janes. My Mom, who wears a size 6 - I'm insanely jealous, told me growing up that my feet would get bigger when I got pregnant. She lied. :-)
