US men's shoe sizes are based on the barleycorn system (1/3 inch per size) with a zero point of 7⅔ inches. US men's sizes run approximately 6–16. US men's size 9 = UK 8.5 = EU 42.5 = 26.0 cm foot length.
US shoe sizes are gender-differentiated: the same foot length corresponds to different numbers for men and women. US women's sizes are approximately 1.5 sizes higher than US men's for the same foot length.
Interesting fact: Despite being the world's largest footwear market, the US has never officially standardized shoe sizes. Sizes are manufacturer-defined, which is why sizes vary between brands — a Nike 10 may fit differently than an Adidas 10.
EU shoe sizes are based on the Paris point system — 1 Paris point = ⅔ cm. So an EU 40 shoe has an inner length of approximately 40 × ⅔ = 26.7 cm. The system is used across continental Europe and has been adopted globally by many shoe brands.
EU sizing is gender-neutral — the same number refers to the same foot length for both men and women. EU 42 = men's US 8.5 = women's US 10. This neutrality makes EU sizing simpler for global brands.
Interesting fact: The EU size scale was proposed by the French Shoe Industries Association in the 20th century. The 'Paris point' (⅔ cm) was chosen because it bisects the difference between the older French and British shoe sizing increments, creating a convenient intermediate standard.
Shoe sizes are not standardized internationally. EU sizes use Paris points (⅔ cm), US sizes use barleycorns (⅓ inch), and UK uses a similar scale with a different offset. US men's and women's sizes differ by 1.5 sizes for the same foot. EU sizing is gender-neutral. The most reliable approach: measure foot length in cm and consult brand-specific size charts.
Always treat size conversions as a starting point — sizes vary significantly between brands and shoe styles.
