Shoe sizes are one of the most confusing conversions in fashion because three different systems are all in common use and none of them line up neatly. The United States uses one scale for men and another for women that sit about a size and a half apart. The United Kingdom uses a single numeric scale close to the US men figure, and Europe uses the Paris point system, where each size is two thirds of a centimetre.
The one thing all of these have in common is foot length. Every size in the chart below is tied to a foot length in centimetres, so the surest way to get your size right in any country is to measure your foot and read across. If you know your size in one system already, the converter above will translate it instantly.
Shoe size questions
How do I convert EU shoe size to US?
Match the EU number to the foot length, then read the US column. For example EU 39 is about a US women's 8.5 or a US men's 6.5. Use the converter above for an exact reading.
Why are US men and US women shoe sizes different?
The two scales share a starting point but are offset, so a woman's US size runs about 1.5 larger than the man's US size for the same foot length. A women's 9 and a men's 7.5 are the same shoe.
Is UK the same as US shoe size?
No. UK sizes run about one size smaller than US men's sizes. A UK 8 is roughly a US men's 9. The UK scale is a single number used for both men and women.
Should I size up or down between systems?
Convert by foot length rather than by rounding a number. If you fall between two sizes, size up, since a slightly long shoe is more wearable than a short one.
