About this tool
Convert shoe sizes between US, UK, EU and foot length in centimetres, with men's and women's systems and brand approximations.
Formula
EU size ≈ (foot length cm + 1.5) × 1.5 (Paris points, 2/3 cm per size); UK counts from a child's baseline in barleycorns; US offsets from UK by about one size.
Reference values
- US men's ≈ UK + 1
- US women's ≈ US men's + 1.5
- Foot length in cm is the most reliable measure
Questions people ask
How do I measure my foot?
Stand on paper, mark the heel and the longest toe, and measure the gap in centimetres. Measure both feet and use the longer one.
Is a UK size the same as a US size?
No. A US men's size is usually about one larger than the UK size, and US women's sizes run about 1.5 larger than US men's.
Which size do I order if I'm between sizes?
Most people size up, especially for sports shoes where feet swell.
