It is a little difficult to assess the age equivalents of these shoe sizes. These shoes were offered in sizes 8½, 9, 9½, 10. 10½, 11, 11½, 12, 12½, 13, 13½, 1, 1½, 2, 2½, 3. According to one estimate, that would mean essentially primary-age boys from about 6-13 years of age. Sears on this page provides a little lower estimate, 3-10 years. As the Sears estimate pertains specifically to these shoes,this should be considered am accurate age assessment.
