Shopping grade school (GS) sneakers for yourself? Many women wear GS sizes, and a lot of the most popular Jordans and Dunks come in GS sizing. Here's how to convert.
The quick rule
Women's size = GS size + 1.5. For example, a 6Y is about a women's 7.5, and a 7Y is about a women's 8.5.
| Grade school (Y) | Women's (W) |
|---|---|
| 3.5Y | 5W |
| 4Y | 5.5W |
| 4.5Y | 6W |
| 5Y | 6.5W |
| 5.5Y | 7W |
| 6Y | 7.5W |
| 6.5Y | 8W |
| 7Y | 8.5W |
Fit can vary by model, so if you're between sizes, call or stop by and try a pair on.
