Preschool (PS) Shoe Sizes
PS in shoes stands for ‘Preschool’ and is used to identify sizes suitable for children between three and five years old. They typically range from 6.5 to 8.5 inches in length. Before PS, there are TD, or Toddler, sizes, and after a child outgrows PS, they move up to GS, which denotes ‘Grade School’ sizes, intended for children ages six and above.

GS in Jordans refers to ‘Grade School’ sizes for older children, following after PS sizes. It’s not equivalent to Men’s sizing, so GS 7 would not be the same as Men’s 7.
Shopping Tips
When shopping for footwear for toddlers and preschoolers:
- Look for the PS designation on shoe boxes and size charts.
- Choose the correct size for a proper fit, ensuring good support for growing feet.
- As feet grow, transition to the next size category.
Remember that discrepancies in shoe sizes occur if a child has unusually large or small feet, but adhering to general sizing guidelines will typically ensure a good fit.
