Shoe Size Converter

Understanding Shoe Size Conversion

Converting shoe sizes between different regions can be confusing due to different measurement systems used worldwide. Our Shoe Size Converter helps you easily translate between US, UK, EU, CM (centimeters), and JP (Japanese) sizing systems for men, women, and children.

Each region uses different scales and starting points for measuring feet, which is why a direct conversion is necessary when shopping for shoes internationally or online.

How Shoe Sizing Works

Shoe size systems were developed independently across different regions, leading to variations in how they're measured:

• US sizing uses inches, with separate scales for men, women, and children.
• UK sizing is similar to US but typically one size smaller.
• EU sizing uses the Paris Point scale (2/3 cm per size) and is gender-neutral.
• CM sizing measures the foot length directly in centimeters.
• JP sizing uses millimeters, where size 25 equals 25cm.

Our converter accounts for these differences and provides accurate conversions between all systems.
