Shoe Size Converter

Convert shoe sizes between US, EU, UK, and centimeter (foot length) measurements for men, women, and children. Find your exact size across international sizing systems.

Shoe sizing systems vary worldwide, making it essential to convert sizes when buying shoes internationally or online.

Sizing Systems

  • US Sizes: Different scales for men and women (women's are ~1.5 sizes larger in number for the same foot)
  • EU Sizes: Unisex numbering based on the Paris point (2/3 cm)
  • UK Sizes: Similar to US men's but offset by 0.5-1 size
  • CM (Mondopoint): Based on actual foot length in centimeters; most accurate

Key Differences

  • US Men's 9 = EU 42.5 = UK 8.5 = 27.0 cm
  • US Women's 8 = EU 38.5 = UK 6 = 25.0 cm
  • Women's US sizes are 1.5 larger than men's (Women's 9.5 = Men's 8)

How to Measure Your Foot

  1. Stand on a piece of paper against a wall
  2. Mark the longest toe and the back of your heel
  3. Measure the distance in centimeters
  4. Measure both feet (they may differ slightly)
  5. Use the larger measurement and add 0.5-1 cm for comfort
