Shoe Size Converter โ US, UK, EU & CM Shoe Size Chart
Buying shoes online from international brands can be confusing because the US, UK, and European sizing systems all use different scales. This free shoe size converter instantly translates between US, UK, EU, and centimeter sizes for both men and women, so you can shop confidently from any country.
How Shoe Sizing Systems Differ
Each region uses a different system to measure shoe sizes, and none of them are directly proportional to each other:
- US sizes are based on the Brannock Device measurement system, with half sizes offering a more precise fit.
- UK sizes are similar to US but offset โ a US men's 9 is approximately a UK 8.5.
- EU sizes use the Paris point system, where each size equals 6.67mm of foot length.
- CM (Centimeters) or Mondopoint measures actual foot length and is used primarily in Asia.
EU Size = (Foot Length in cm + 1.5) ร 1.5
