Expert suggestions
- Sizes vary by brand, even within the same country. Treat this as a strong starting point, then check the specific brand’s own size chart when it’s available.
- Measure your feet in the evening, since they naturally swell slightly throughout the day. That gives you a size that stays comfortable all day, not just at breakfast.
- Asian clothing brands often run smaller than their US or EU label suggests. When in doubt, size up one from what this converter shows for a more comfortable fit.
- When you’re between two shoe sizes, size up rather than down, especially for closed-toe shoes and anything you’ll wear for walking or standing long hours.
Frequently asked questions
The US, UK, and EU each measure sizing using a different unit and starting point. The US and UK use a “barleycorn” scale, about a third of an inch per size, but count from different zero points. The EU uses Paris points, based on centimeters, which is why the numbers never line up neatly across systems.
No. In the US system, women’s shoe sizes run about 1.5 sizes larger than men’s for the same actual foot length. A men’s size 7 is roughly equivalent to a women’s size 8.5, not a women’s 7.
Generally, yes. Many Asian clothing brands cut their garments slightly narrower and shorter than US or European brands labeled with the same letter size. Sizing up by one letter size from what this converter shows is a common, reasonable adjustment.
Both are based directly on foot length rather than an arbitrary scale. A Japanese size 24 means the shoe is built for a 24 centimeter foot. Chinese sizes work the same way but in millimeters, so a size 240 also means a 24 centimeter foot.
No conversion chart can, since fit also depends on the shoe’s last shape, the garment’s cut, and brand-specific variation. This tool gives you the most accurate general starting point, but always check a brand’s own size chart for anything you’re ordering for the first time.
