Anniel uses Italian numbered shoe sizes, which are also the sizes you may see printed inside the shoe or on its box. For the clearest result, measure both feet and choose from the Anniel-specific length chart below rather than relying on a general international shoe conversion.
General EU-to-UK charts vary between retailers and do not reflect Anniel's own size progression accurately enough, particularly for children's shoes. The Anniel size printed on the shoe or box and the measured length are therefore the main references in this guide.

Measure the longer foot while the child is standing and compare it with the length below. The Anniel number is the size normally printed on the shoe or its packaging.

Anniel's dedicated children's reference lists the numbered Anniel sizes and centimetre measurements, but it does not supply a reliable UK equivalent. We have therefore avoided adding an approximate UK conversion that could cause the wrong size to be ordered.

Measure first and use the Anniel number. Do not be concerned if the size printed inside the shoe or on its box differs from an everyday UK shoe size. Anniel's Italian size is the manufacturer reference for this style.
How to Measure for Anniel Gymnastics Shoes
Measure both feet while standing, preferably in the type of thin sock or bare-foot condition in which the shoes will be worn. Use the longer foot when comparing your result with the chart.
Foot Length
Key MeasurementPlace the heel lightly against a wall and stand with the foot flat on a sheet of paper. Mark the end of the longest toe and measure from the wall to the mark.
Record the measurement in millimetres for the clearest comparison with the Anniel chart.
Measure Both Feet
Repeat the measurement for the other foot. It is common for one foot to be slightly longer, so use the longer measurement when choosing your starting size.
Measure While Standing
Keep full weight through the foot while measuring. The foot spreads naturally when standing, giving a more realistic result than measuring while seated.
Check Foot Width & Volume
Length is the main size reference, but a broad forefoot or high instep can make the shoe feel closer. The leather and elastic should hold the foot securely without creating painful pressure.
Check the Gymnastics Fit
The toes should lie flat, the heel should remain securely in place and the leather should follow the foot without excessive wrinkling or gaping when pointing, rising and walking.
Avoid excessive growing room. These shoes are designed to fit close to the foot, and the leather will relax slightly with wear.
Anniel gymnastics shoes are made in soft leather with elastic around the foot, heel and instep. They should feel securely connected to the foot without painful compression. If the measured length sits between two Anniel sizes, begin with the larger size, then check that the heel remains secure and that there is no excessive loose leather.
