US to EU shoe sizes, women’s and men’s

A US women’s 7 is an EU 38 and a UK 5. A US men’s 10 is an EU 43 to 44 and a UK 9. Women’s and men’s US sizes are different scales, so pick the right table.

EU shoe sizes differ by up to a whole size between brands, so some rows show a range. For UK and US only, see UK and US shoe sizes.

Where the charts disagree

Women’s and men’s US sizes differ. In our sources a women’s US size is two above the UK size and a men’s US size one above, so a women’s US 9 and a men’s US 8 are both a UK 7.
Ranges: for a men’s US 10, our sources print EU 43 to 44; for a men’s US 11, EU 44 to 45.
Trainers: sports brands often run their own EU numbers. Check the brand’s chart.

How to measure your feet

Shoe conversions are less exact than clothing conversions, because EU sizes are counted differently from UK and US sizes. A foot length in centimetres is the most reliable check.

Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, late in the day when feet are largest.
Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres.
Measure both feet and use the longer one against the brand's own foot-length chart.

A note for merchants

Shoppers search for conversions because a single size label does not tell them how an item will fit. If you sell clothes or shoes online, publish a size chart in centimetres for each product, say whether it shows body or garment measurements, and add a short fit note. A free size chart template is a quick place to start. On Shopify, Rendered Fits recommends a size for each product from your own size chart, so shoppers do not need a converter; there is a Free plan.

A value appears only where at least two published guides support it, and a dash means there is no consistent published figure.
