Finding the right shoe size can be tricky, especially when dealing with different sizing systems across the globe.

This comprehensive shoe size chart will guide you through men’s, women’s, and kids’ shoe size conversions, ensuring you find the perfect fit every time.
Understanding Shoe Size Conversions: US, EU, UK & Inches

Measuring Your Foot for the Best Shoe Fit
While these charts are a great starting point, accurately measuring your foot is crucial for finding the perfect shoe size. Here’s how you can do it:
- Step on a ruler: Place a piece of paper on the floor and step on it with your heel against a wall.
- Mark the longest point: Mark the longest point of your foot on the paper (usually your big toe or second toe).
- Measure the length: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (where your heel was) to the mark in inches or centimeters.
- Use the charts: Compare your measurement to the ‘Inches’ or ‘CM’ columns in the charts above to find your corresponding US, EU, and UK sizes.
Remember to measure both feet, as one foot might be slightly larger than the other. Always use the measurement of the larger foot when choosing your shoe size.
FAQs and Essential Tips for Shoe Sizing
-
What if I’m between sizes? It’s generally recommended to size up, especially for athletic and sports shoes like running shoes or hiking boots. This allows for foot swelling and prevents discomfort during activities.
-
Does half a size really matter? Absolutely! A half size difference can significantly impact comfort. Shoes that are too small can lead to pain, blisters, lost toenails, and bunions, especially common among runners.
-
Is it normal to have different sized feet? Yes, it’s very common. Always fit shoes to your larger foot.
-
Should shoes be tight or loose? Shoes should be neither too tight nor too loose. You should have about a thumb’s width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. For the heel, you should be able to fit an index finger snugly between your heel and the back of the shoe.
-
Best time to try on shoes? For runners, try on shoes at the end of the day when your feet are most swollen due to daily activities or workouts. This ensures a comfortable fit even when your feet expand.
-
Will this chart guarantee a perfect fit? While these charts are highly accurate, individual shoe fit can vary between brands and styles. If possible, especially for specialized footwear like running shoes, visit a specialty store for expert fitting advice.
