Frequently Asked Questions

How do US Men's and US Women's shoe sizes compare?

US Women's sizes run 1.5 sizes larger than US Men's. A US Men's 8 = US Women's 9.5. When buying unisex shoes listed in men's sizes, women subtract 1.5: a women's 9 = men's 7.5. When a shoe is listed only in women's sizes, men add 1.5.

How do I convert US shoe size to EU?

Men: EU size ≈ US size + 33. Women: EU size ≈ US size + 31. Examples: US Men's 10 ≈ EU 43; US Women's 8 ≈ EU 39. These are approximate — sizes vary slightly by brand and country.

What does EU shoe size mean?

EU shoe sizes are based on Paris points, where each point equals 2/3 of a centimetre (the length of a stitch on a cobbler's tool). EU sizing is gender-neutral — men and women use the same EU number for the same foot length. EU 42 ≈ 26.7 cm foot length.

How is Japanese shoe size different from other systems?

Japanese shoe sizes equal the foot length in centimetres — a JP/CM 26 means a 26 cm foot. This is the most intuitive system. UK and US sizes use arbitrary point scales invented centuries ago. When buying shoes online from Japan, simply measure your foot length in cm.
