Why fit can feel different
Kids’ and adult versions of a style are made on different size ranges, so the shape and volume can feel slightly different even at overlapping sizes. If your child is right on the border, compare the kids’ J6 and adult M6/W8 versions of the same style and read the fit notes. A little extra room in the adult version is common.
