What is the difference between US women's and US men's shoe sizes?

Women's US shoe sizes run about 1.5 sizes higher than men's for the same foot length. E.g. EU 40 = US women 9.5 but US men 8. Always select the correct gender category when converting.

How do I measure my foot to find the right shoe size?

Stand barefoot on a sheet of paper, trace your foot and measure from heel to the longest toe in centimetres. The converter shows foot length in cm for each EU shoe size, helping you find the exact fit.

Why do clothing sizes differ between brands?

Clothing manufacturers do not follow a single mandatory standard — each brand may use its own patterns. EU/US/UK conversion tables give approximate values, so always check the brand's own measurement chart, especially when buying online.

Which EU men's sizes correspond to XL and XXL?

Approximately EU 52–54 = XL and EU 56–58 = XXL for men. In US/UK that is US 42–44 (XL) and US 46–48 (XXL). Note that S/M/L/XL labels are not standardised and may vary between brands.

How we convert sizes

The converter uses standard EU/US/UK conversion tables for clothing and footwear. For women's clothing, US size ≈ EU − 30. For shoes, dedicated lookup tables are used with precise mappings including foot length in cm for each EU size.

Example calculation

A woman wearing EU 38 (clothing) takes US 8 and UK 10. A man in EU 42 (clothing) wears US 42 and UK 42. Women's shoes EU 38 = US 7.5 and UK 5.5, foot length approximately 24 cm.

How do EU children's sizes work?

What does the "T" in US children's sizes mean?

"T" stands for "Toddler". Sizes 2T–4T are for children aged 2–4, corresponding to EU 92–104 (height 92–104 cm). After 4T/5T, numeric sizes (5, 6, 7…) are used.
