Foot Length Method

The CM (foot length) is the most reliable basis — it's the actual measurement brands use internally.

Shoe Size Conversion Guide — US, UK, EU, CM

Shoe sizes are confusingly different across regions, which is why converting accurately is essential when shopping international brands online. The US and UK both use an inch-based system but offset by about half a size — a US men's 9 is roughly a UK 8.5. Europe uses the Paris Point system (EU sizes), where each size step is 2/3 cm, so a US men's 9 is about EU 42. The most reliable measure is foot length in centimeters, because that's the underlying measurement all systems approximate.

Men's and women's sizing also differ: a women's US size is typically about 1.5 sizes larger in number than the equivalent men's US size (a women's 9.5 ≈ a men's 8). Kids' and youth sizing has its own scale that transitions to adult sizes around US 7 (youth) = US 7 (men's). Because brands and even individual shoe models fit differently, the smartest approach is to measure your foot length in cm, convert from CM here, and then cross-check the specific brand's size guide and customer reviews before buying.

Men's Quick Reference

US 9 = UK 8.5 = EU 42 = 27 cm. US 10 = UK 9.5 = EU 43 = 28 cm. US 11 = UK 10.5 = EU 44 = 29 cm.

👠

Women's Quick Reference

US 7 = UK 5 = EU 38 = 24 cm. US 8 = UK 6 = EU 39 = 25 cm. US 9 = UK 7 = EU 40 = 26 cm.

📏

Measure Your Foot

Stand on paper, mark heel to longest toe, measure in cm. Add ~0.5–1 cm wiggle room. Measure both feet — use the larger.

⚠️

Brand Variation

Nike, Adidas, and European brands fit differently even at the "same" size. Always check the brand's own chart and reviews.

Shoe Size Conversion FAQ

A US men's size 9 is approximately EU 42 (foot length ~27 cm). A US women's size 9 is approximately EU 40 (~26 cm). EU sizes don't split by gender the way US/UK do, so always note whether you're using men's or women's as your starting point. Use the chart above for exact matches.
US and UK sizes both use an inch-based scale but are offset by about half a size: a US men's size is roughly 0.5 larger in number than the UK size. So US men's 10 ≈ UK 9.5. For women, the offset is about 2 sizes (US women's 8 ≈ UK 6). This converter handles the offset automatically for each category.
In US sizing, a women's size is about 1.5 sizes larger in number than the equivalent men's size. So a women's 9.5 fits like a men's 8, and a women's 8 fits like a men's 6.5. This matters for unisex sneakers often listed in men's sizes. Subtract 1.5 from your women's US size to estimate the men's size.
Measure your foot length in centimeters: stand on a piece of paper, mark from heel to longest toe, and measure. Then convert from CM in this tool. Foot length is the underlying measurement all sizing systems approximate, so it's far more reliable than guessing across US/UK/EU numbers. Measure in the afternoon (feet swell) and use the larger foot.
