Some of the best shoes brands for kids are actually made in Europe, but sold here in the US. Some times when searching for shoes for your kids, you should actually also include the European size in your search if you want all the options to come up. Sellers, list both sizes, even if you are selling shoes only in a US size - as some European sellers don't know the conversion.
This table is borrowed from a website a lot of ebayers use:

It lists womens and mens conversion charts as well. It also lists how to determine what a shoe size is if the size isn't listed.
