What Is a Shoe Size Converter?
A shoe size converter translates shoe sizes between different national sizing systems. The US, UK, EU, and Asian markets all use different scales, making international shoe shopping confusing. This tool converts between US, UK, EU (continental European), and centimeters (foot length) for men, women, and children, ensuring you find the right fit when buying shoes from other countries or online international retailers.
How Shoe Sizing Works
Each system uses different starting points and increments. US and UK sizes are measured in barleycorns (1/3 inch). EU sizes use Paris points (2/3 cm). CM is the actual foot length. Men's and women's sizes differ: a US men's 8 is approximately a US women's 9.5. UK sizes are generally one size smaller than US sizes for the same foot length.
How to Use This Converter
Select the gender (Men/Women/Kids), choose your known shoe size system, enter your size, and click Convert. All equivalent sizes in other systems will be displayed instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are shoe sizes the same for men and women?
No. Women's US sizes are typically 1.5 sizes larger than men's for the same foot. A men's US 8 equals a women's US 9.5 approximately.
How do I measure my foot size in cm?
Stand on paper, mark the heel and longest toe, then measure the distance in centimeters. Measure both feet as they may differ, and use the larger measurement.
Do EU sizes vary by brand?
Yes. There is no universal enforcement of EU shoe sizing. Different brands may interpret sizes slightly differently. Always check the brand's specific size chart when possible.
