Jump to your exact foot length
Each size below has its own page with the answer, the neighbouring sizes and the reverse conversion.
cm and UK shoe sizes are two labels for the same foot lengths. The chart ties each cm size to its UK equivalent through the foot length in centimetres, which is the one dimension that does not change between systems. If you know your foot length, you can confirm both sizes directly.
The lookups people search for most on this route: 23.7 cm equals UK 5, 26.2 cm equals UK 8, and 27.5 cm equals UK 9.5.
Remember that US sizing splits into separate men's and women's numbers while UK and EU use a single scale for both. When in doubt, convert by centimetres and size up if you fall between two rows. To measure your feet, see how to measure shoe size.
Common questions
What UK shoe size is 26.2 cm?
A 26.2 cm foot is a UK 8, and every other foot length from 22.1 cm to 31.7 cm is in the chart below.
How do I convert cm shoe size to UK?
Find your cm size in the chart and read across to the UK column, or use the converter above. Every row is anchored to a foot length in centimetres, so the conversion is exact rather than a rule of thumb.
Does cm to UK differ for men and women?
No. cm and UK both use a single scale for men and women, so one number covers both. Only US sizing splits into separate men's and women's numbers, which you can see in the full chart.
What if I am between two sizes?
Size up. A slightly long shoe is more comfortable than one that is too short, and you can adjust the fit with insoles or thicker socks. Measure in the afternoon, when feet are at their largest.
