Sizes vary by brand. Use this chart as a guide and check the brand's own size chart when it has one. If you're between sizes, go by foot length and size up.
How to measure your foot
- Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, wearing the socks you'll wear with the shoes.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe on the paper.
- Measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres or inches.
- Measure both feet and use the longer one. Feet are slightly bigger later in the day, so measure in the afternoon.
Pick "Foot length" in the converter above to see the matching sizes.
How shoe sizes compare
- US women's sizes run about 1.5 sizes above US men's for the same foot. A US men's 8 is about a US women's 9.5.
- UK sizes are the same for men and women and run about one size below US men's.
- EU sizes are also unisex. One EU size is two thirds of a centimetre, so EU sizes go up in smaller steps.
- Mondopoint, used for ski boots and in Japan, is simply the foot length in millimetres.
How this converter works
There's no single international standard for shoe sizes, and every brand's chart differs slightly. This converter starts from foot length and applies the common sizing systems: the US Brannock scale (men's size = 3 × foot length in inches − 22), US women's 1.5 sizes above men's, UK one size below US men's, and EU (Paris points) based on a shoe about 2 cm longer than the foot. The results match mainstream sneaker size charts to within half a size.
Frequently asked questions
Is EU 42 a US 9?
For men, EU 42 is about a US 8.5 to 9, and a UK 7.5 to 8. Brands differ by up to half a size, so check foot length if you can.
How do I convert women's to men's shoe sizes?
Subtract 1.5 from the US women's size to get the US men's size. A women's 9 is about a men's 7.5. UK and EU sizes don't change.
Should I size up if I'm between sizes?
Usually yes, especially for running shoes and boots, which you'll wear with thicker socks.
