Shoes
Paris point
The unit of European shoe sizes: two thirds of a centimetre.
European (EU) shoe sizes count Paris points: each size is 2/3 cm, or about 6.67 mm. The size measures the length of the shoe's last, the foot-shaped form a shoe is made on, which is a little longer than the foot.
Because one Paris point is smaller than one US or UK size step, EU sizes go up in smaller increments.
