TL;DR

This shoe size calculator instantly converts your size between EU, US (men's & women's), UK, and measurements in centimetres or inches. It works by mapping foot length in millimetres to each regional sizing standard. No more guessing when shopping for shoes from another country.

A US men's 9 is a US women's 10.5, UK 8 and EU 42, for a foot length of 10.4 in (26.4 cm). The chart below covers men's 6 to 13; brands can differ by half a size.

Shoe Size Calculator: Convert EU, US, UK and cm Instantly

Buying shoes across borders has never been straightforward. A European size 40 is not the same as a US size 8, and the UK scale adds yet another layer of confusion. Whether you are shopping on an American website, ordering from a British retailer, or simply trying to understand a Japanese sizing chart, our Shoe Size Calculator has you covered. It converts between EU, US Men, US Women, UK, and Mondopoint (centimetres and inches), calculated from the length of the last. The ISO 9407 Mondopoint system states the foot length directly in millimetres.

Understanding shoe sizes matters more than most people realise. Ordering the wrong size means returning goods, paying extra postage, and waiting weeks for a replacement. Getting the conversion right the first time saves money and frustration โ€” especially for expensive footwear like hiking boots, dress shoes, or performance trainers.

How the Conversion Works

The calculator works from the last length, the inner length of the shoe. One EU size equals two thirds of a centimetre (Paris point), one UK or US size one third of an inch. Foot length is the last length minus 1.5 cm of toe room. The Mondopoint system of ISO 9407, by contrast, states the foot length directly in millimetres.

The Mondopoint value โ€” expressed in centimetres โ€” is particularly useful because it represents the actual foot length the shoe is designed to fit. This makes it the most objective reference point. For example, a foot that measures 26.5 cm corresponds to EU 42, US Men 9, US Women 10.5, and UK 8. The calculator derives these values from the last length.

How to Use the Calculator

  • Step 1: Select your known size system from the input options (EU, US Men, US Women, UK, or cm).
  • Step 2: Enter your size in the relevant field.
  • Step 3: The calculator instantly displays the equivalent sizes in all other systems.
  • Step 4: Use the converted size when shopping, and cross-check with the brand's own size guide if available.

Pro tip: If you have recently measured your foot, enter the centimetre value directly. The Mondopoint measurement is the most reliable starting point because it reflects your actual foot length rather than a market convention.

Practical Examples

Example 1: Ordering Men's Sneakers from a US Store

James wears EU size 43 and wants to buy sneakers from a US retailer that only lists US Men sizes. He enters EU 43 into the calculator and instantly sees that this equals US Men 10, UK 9, and 27.2 cm in Mondopoint. He selects US Men 10 and completes his order confidently.

Example 2: Women's Boots from a UK Website

Sophie normally buys US Women size 7.5. She is browsing a British shoe website that lists only UK sizes. The calculator shows her that US Women 7.5 equals UK 5, EU 38, and 23.9 cm. She orders UK 5 without hesitation.

Example 3: Finding the Right Size Using Foot Measurement

David measured his foot at 29 cm. He enters this into the Mondopoint field and learns that 29 cm corresponds to EU 46, US Men 12, US Women 13.5, and UK 11. He now has everything he needs to shop in any country or on any website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do different brands sometimes feel different even in the same size?

Shoe size conversions are only a guide, because individual brands design their lasts โ€” the foot-shaped forms used to build shoes โ€” according to their own specifications. A size EU 42 from one brand may feel wider, narrower, or longer than the same nominal size from another. Always consult the brand's specific size chart and, where possible, read customer reviews about fit before purchasing.

What is the difference between US Men and US Women sizing?

The US system uses separate scales for men and women. For the same foot length, a US Women's size is approximately 1.5 sizes larger than the equivalent US Men's size. So US Men 8 and US Women 9.5 both fit a foot of the same length. If you are buying unisex footwear, always confirm whether the listed size is on the men's or women's scale to avoid confusion.

Are half sizes always available in every system?

Not necessarily. Half sizes are common in US and UK systems but less frequent in some EU and Asian markets. If a direct half-size equivalent does not exist in the target system, it is generally safer to round up to the next full size rather than down. A slightly larger shoe can be worn with thicker socks, while a shoe that is too small cannot be made to fit comfortably.
