How shoe sizes compare across countries

Shoe sizing systems grew up separately. US and UK sizes count in barleycorns (1/3 inch) from different starting points. For adults, UK sizes run about 1 size below US men's and 2 below US women's. European (Paris point) sizes count in 2/3 cm steps, so they rise by 1 while US sizes rise by about 0.5. The centimeter column is the approximate foot length each size fits, which is the most reliable way to compare brands. This chart uses common industry conversions. Individual brands and lasts can differ by half a size or more, so always check the brand's own chart when you can.

Measure in the evening

Feet swell during the day. Measure later in the day, wearing the socks you plan to wear with the shoes.

Between sizes?

Measure both feet and use the longer one. For running or hiking shoes, many people go up half a size for toe room.

Shoe Size Converter FAQ

Is a UK size the same as a US size?

No. UK men's sizes are about one size smaller than US men's, and UK women's sizes are about two sizes smaller than US women's.

How do I convert women's to men's US sizes?

Subtract about 1.5. A women's US 8.5 is roughly a men's US 7.

Why does one EU size match two US sizes?

EU sizes and US half sizes don't line up exactly, so some EU sizes fall between two US sizes. The converter shows both.

How do I measure my foot length?

Stand on paper with your heel against a wall, mark the tip of your longest toe, and measure from the wall to the mark in centimeters or inches.

Are these sizes exact for every brand?

No. They are standard conversions, and brands vary. Use them as a starting point and check the brand's size chart.
