How to Measure Your Foot Size
- Place a blank piece of paper on a hard floor against a wall
- Stand on the paper with your heel against the wall
- Mark the longest point of your foot (usually the big toe)
- Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimetres
- Use the chart above to find your size
Key Rules for Shoe Size Conversion
- US men vs UK: UK size = US size − 1
- US women vs UK: UK size = US size − 2
- US men vs EU: EU size ≈ US size + 33
- US women vs EU: EU size ≈ US size + 31
- Always measure both feet — they are often slightly different sizes. Buy for the larger foot.
Sizing Varies by Brand
Shoe sizing is not perfectly standardised — two shoes in "EU 42" from different brands may fit differently. Always check the specific brand's size guide, especially when buying online.
