EU size works as a universal reference — same number for men and women.

US women's shoe sizes run the same barleycorn scale as men's but with a different zero offset — US women's are typically 1.5 sizes larger than the equivalent men's size. US women's size 8 = US men's 6.5 = EU 39 = UK 6.
Women's shoes in the US range from size 4 to 12, with size 7–8 being most common. Wide widths are labeled W or WW; narrow are N. Half sizes are common and meaningful — a half size represents 1/6 inch (~4.2 mm) of foot length.
Interesting fact: The 1.5-size offset between US men's and women's comes from historical manufacturing — men's and women's lasts (foot molds) used different reference feet. A women's size 8.5 and a men's size 7 use the same last, just with different labelling.
CM (centimeters) shoe sizing directly measures foot length and is used in Japan and is the clearest international reference. It removes ambiguity from gender-specific or regional numbering by using actual physical measurement.
Japanese shoe labelling uses foot length in cm (e.g., 25 cm, 25.5 cm). This makes fitting straightforward: measure your foot length and add 0.5–1 cm for fit. CM sizing is also the most reliable cross-gender shoe size reference.
Interesting fact: Measuring foot length at the end of the day (when feet are at their largest due to swelling from walking) gives the best fit. Feet can differ in length by up to a full size — always fit to the larger foot.
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.
