Brand Sizing

Brand-Specific Shoe Sizing

Shoe sizes vary by brand. Here's how the most popular brands compare so you can order the right size first time.

Nike

US / EU

Nike sizes run slightly small. Consider sizing up 0.5, especially for narrow shoes like Air Max. Nike uses US sizing as primary.

Adidas

EU / UK

Adidas shoes tend to run 0.5 larger than Nike. If you're US 9 in Nike, try US 8.5 in Adidas. Adidas uses EU as their primary sizing.

New Balance

US / UK

New Balance is known for true-to-size fit. They offer width options (B, D, 2E, 4E) making them ideal for wide feet.

Puma

EU / UK

Puma sizes are similar to Adidas — slightly large. If between sizes, go half down. Puma uses EU as primary.

Reebok

US / UK

Reebok runs true to size for most models. Their Classic Leather runs slightly narrow; consider a half size up for wide feet.

Converse

US / EU

Converse Chuck Taylors run a full size large. If you're US 9, order a US 8 in Chucks. This is one of the biggest offsets in footwear.

Measurement Guide

How to Measure Your Feet

Follow these steps to get an accurate foot measurement at home — all you need is a sheet of paper, a pencil, and a ruler.

1

Prepare

Place a blank A4 sheet on a hard floor against a wall.

2

Stand naturally

Stand with your heel touching the wall, weight evenly distributed.

3

Mark your longest toe

Make a pencil mark at the tip of your longest toe.

4

Measure

Measure from the wall edge to the pencil mark in cm or inches.

5

Measure both feet

Repeat for the other foot and use the larger measurement.

6

How to Convert Shoe Sizes (and Why It Matters)

If you've ever ordered shoes online from another country and gotten the wrong size, you already know the problem. A US 9 isn't the same number as a UK 9, and neither lines up neatly with EU 42. Every country has its own sizing system, and they don't agree with each other. That's where a shoe size converter comes in.

Our converter takes your known shoe size in one system and shows you what it equals in every other system. Pick your gender, enter your size, and you'll see the US, UK, EU, India, Japan (CM), and inch equivalents right away. No tables to scroll through, no guessing.

Why Shoe Sizes Are So Confusing

The US uses the Brannock system. It has separate scales for men and women, with each size representing about a third of an inch. The UK also uses thirds of an inch, but starts from a different point, so the numbers don't match. Europe uses something called Paris Points, where each size is two-thirds of a centimeter. Japan just measures your foot in centimeters and calls that your size. India mostly follows the UK system, though some local brands do their own thing.

So when you see "size 42" on a shoe from Germany and "size 9" on one from America, they might fit the same foot. Or they might not, depending on the brand. This is why people end up with shoes that pinch their toes or slide around at the heel.

Men to Women Shoe Size Converter

This is one of the most searched conversions, and for good reason. More and more shoes are sold in unisex styles now. Nike Dunks, New Balance 550s, Birkenstock sandals — lots of popular shoes come in both men's and women's sizing. But the numbers are different.

In US sizing, women's sizes run about 1.5 sizes higher than men's. So a women's 9 fits the same foot as a men's 7.5. If you're a guy buying a shoe that only comes in women's sizes (or the other way around), our men to women shoe size converter shows you the right number. It also flags width differences, since men's shoes are typically cut wider at the same numeric size.

One thing worth knowing: this 1.5-size gap only applies to US sizing. EU sizes are the same for men and women. An EU 40 is an EU 40, no matter who the shoe is marketed to. If you're shopping European brands, the EU number is the one to trust.

Kids Shoe Size Converter

Kids' sizing is its own kind of confusing. In the US, there are four separate ranges: Infant (0C to 4C), Toddler (4C to 7C), Little Kid (8C to 13C), and Big Kid or Youth (1Y to 7Y). The tricky part? The numbers reset. After 13C, the next size is 1Y. Parents get tripped up by this all the time.

EU kids' sizes don't have this problem. They run in a straight line from about EU 17 for infants up to EU 39 for older kids. No restarts, no letter codes. Our kids shoe size converter handles all four US age groups and maps them to UK, EU, and CM sizes so you don't have to figure it out yourself.

Kids' feet grow fast — sometimes a full size in three or four months. We'd suggest measuring every couple of months if your kid is under 6. The CM measurement is the most reliable way to track growth since it's just the length of their foot. No math needed.

Another question parents ask a lot: when do kids switch to adult sizes? Short answer: at Youth 7Y. That's roughly a women's 8.5 or a men's 7 in US sizing.

How the Different Systems Work

The US Brannock system adds a third of an inch per size. Men's and women's scales start at different points, which is why the same foot gets different numbers. A foot that's 10.25 inches long is a men's 9 but a women's 10.5.

The UK system works similarly (also thirds of an inch) but shifted. UK men's sizes are about 0.5 less than US men's. UK women's sizes are about 2 less than US women's. Australia uses UK sizing for men but US sizing for women, which is its own kind of headache.

EU sizing (Paris Points) uses two-thirds of a centimeter per size. It's gender-neutral. EU 42 is EU 42 whether the shoe is for men or women. This makes it the simplest system for international shopping, and it's why we recommend paying attention to the EU number when buying from overseas retailers.

Japan and Korea skip all the abstraction and just measure your foot. In Japan, it's centimeters. In Korea, it's millimeters. A 27 cm foot is a JP 27. Simple. If every country did this, shoe size converters wouldn't need to exist.

Getting the Right Fit

Even with a perfect conversion, a few things can throw off your fit. Your feet swell during the day, so measure them in the afternoon or evening instead of first thing in the morning. Measure both feet. Most people have one foot that's slightly longer, and you should buy shoes based on the bigger one.

Stand up when you measure. Sitting down makes your foot shorter because you're not putting weight on it. And if you plan to wear thick socks with the shoes, measure with those socks on.

Brands aren't consistent either. Nike tends to run a bit small. Converse runs about a full size large. Adidas is usually about half a size bigger than Nike. Our brand-specific converters on this page account for those differences. But when you're unsure, measuring your foot in centimeters and matching to the brand's CM chart is the most reliable approach.

If you're between sizes, go up. A slightly loose shoe can be fixed with an insole. A tight shoe just hurts.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A shoe size converter is a tool that takes your shoe size in one country's system and tells you what it equals in another. For example, if you know your US size, the converter shows the matching UK, EU, India, Japan (CM), and inch sizes. It's useful when you're buying shoes from international brands or overseas websites.
Measure your foot from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe in centimeters. For US men's sizing, a 27 cm foot is about a US 9. For UK, subtract 0.5 from your US size (US 9 = UK 8.5). For EU, add 33 to your US size (US 9 = EU 42). Or just enter your CM measurement into our converter and it does the math for you.
It depends on your foot length. Stand on a piece of paper, trace your foot, and measure from heel to toe. If your foot is about 25.4 cm (10 inches), you're roughly a US men's 7.5. At 27 cm, you're a US 9. At 28.5 cm, you're about a US 10.5. The converter at the top of this page gives you exact results for any measurement.
India 7 is the same as UK 7, since Indian shoe sizing follows the UK system. In US men's sizing, IND 7 equals about US 7.5 to 8. In EU sizing, it's approximately EU 41. The foot length for this size is around 25.5 to 26 cm.
EU 42 is one of the most common men's sizes. It equals US men's 9, UK 8 to 8.5, and India 8. The foot length for EU 42 is about 26.5 to 27 cm. If you're shopping on European sites like Zalando or buying Adidas or Puma, EU 42 is what most brands label as a "medium" men's size.
EU 42 is closer to UK 8 or 8.5, not UK 9. UK 9 would be about EU 43. The confusion happens because the conversion isn't a round number. If you're between sizes, go with UK 8.5 for EU 42.
US men's 7 is approximately India 6 to 6.5 (since India uses UK sizing, and UK is about 0.5 to 1 less than US for men). US women's 7 is approximately India 5 (UK women's = US women's minus 2). The foot length for US 7 men's is about 25 cm.
Subtract about 1.5 from the US women's size to get the US men's size. So a women's 9 is roughly a men's 7.5. A women's 8 is a men's 6.5. This only applies to US sizing though. In EU and Japanese (CM) sizing, there's no gender difference — the number is the same for both.
US men's 10 is EU 43 and UK 9.5. US women's 10 is EU 40-41 and UK 8. The foot length for US men's 10 is about 28 cm (11 inches).
In the US, kids' sizes go from 0C (newborn) to 13C (child), then reset to 1Y (youth) through 7Y. After youth 7Y, adult sizing starts. This reset from 13C to 1Y confuses a lot of parents. EU kids' sizes are simpler — they go in a straight line from EU 17 to EU 39 without any restarts.
US men's 9 equals UK 8.5, EU 42, India 8, Japan 27 cm, and about 10.25 inches in foot length. It's one of the most common men's sizes worldwide.
Yes. Nike tends to run a bit small, so some people go half a size up. Converse runs large — about a full size bigger than other brands. Adidas is usually a little bigger than Nike. New Balance is generally true to size. When buying a new brand, check their specific size chart or measure your foot in CM and compare.
Go up. A slightly roomy shoe can be fixed with an insole or thicker socks. A tight shoe just causes pain, blisters, and nail problems. Also, feet swell during the day, so a shoe that feels fine in the morning might feel tight by evening.
Yes, for almost all brands. India's sizing system is based on the UK standard. A UK 8 is an India 8. Brands like Bata, Woodland, Red Tape, and Liberty all follow this. Some very small local manufacturers might differ slightly, but for any recognized brand, UK and India sizes are the same.
Place a sheet of paper on the floor against a wall. Stand on it with your heel touching the wall. Mark the tip of your longest toe with a pen. Measure from the edge of the paper to the mark in centimeters. Do both feet and use the bigger number. Measure in the evening since feet swell during the day.
