Question 1

How do I convert US shoe size to EU?

Accepted Answer

For men's shoes, add 31 to the US size to get EU (e.g. US 9 ≈ EU 42). For women's, add 30 (e.g. US 8 ≈ EU 38). The exact formula varies slightly by brand, so use the chart in the tool to find a comfortable range.

Question 2

What if I know my foot length in cm?

Accepted Answer

Measure your foot in the evening (feet swell during the day) and convert cm directly to EU, US or JP using the table. For example, a 25.5 cm foot is approximately US 8 (men), EU 41, UK 7, JP 25.5.

Question 3

Do men's and women's shoe sizes differ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In US sizing, women's sizes are typically 1.5 to 2 sizes larger than men's for the same foot length. EU sizing is unisex, but the conversion formulas differ.

Question 4

How accurate are online shoe size converters?

Accepted Answer

They are highly accurate for most international brands. However, athletic shoes (Nike, Adidas), dress shoes, and boots may differ by 0.5 size or have different lasts. Always try before buying when possible.

Question 5

How do I measure my foot at home?

Accepted Answer

Stand on a piece of paper with your heel against a wall, mark the tip of your longest toe, then measure the distance in cm. Measure both feet and use the larger measurement, ideally at the end of the day.
