Fit Matters
Shoe sizing systems vary significantly between brands. For the best fit, measure your foot length in CM and use that as the primary reference.
Measuring Guide

- Stand on the paper with your heel lightly touching the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert US shoe size to EU?
For Men: EU = US + 33 (approximately). US 9 ≈ EU 42. For Women: EU = US + 31. US 8 ≈ EU 39. However, this varies by brand—always check the specific brand's size chart when possible.
What is the difference between US Men's and Women's shoe sizes?
US Women's sizes are approximately 1.5 sizes larger than Men's for the same foot length. A Women's US 9 = Men's US 7.5. This is why unisex shoes often list both sizes (e.g., M7.5/W9).
How do I measure my foot size in CM?
- Stand on a piece of paper with your heel against a wall. 2) Mark the tip of your longest toe. 3) Measure from the wall to the mark in centimeters. 4) Measure both feet and use the larger measurement. This is your foot length in CM.
What is Mondopoint sizing?
Mondopoint is the ISO standard (ISO 9407) that measures foot length in millimeters. It's used in Japan, Korea, and for technical footwear (ski boots, military boots). A size of 270 means a 27.0 cm foot length. It's the most accurate system because it directly measures the foot.
Why do UK and US sizes differ?
Both use the Barleycorn system (1/3 inch per size), but they start from different points. UK sizes are typically 0.5 to 1 size smaller than US sizes for the same foot length. US Men's 10 = UK 9, US Women's 10 = UK 8.
How do I convert kids' shoe sizes?
Kids' sizing is more complex because children's feet grow rapidly. Generally: US Kids = UK Kids + 0.5. EU Kids sizes follow the same formula as adults. For toddlers, sizes start around US 1-4 (Infant) and 5-12 (Little Kids), then 1-7 (Big Kids).
Should I size up or down when between sizes?
Generally, size up. It's easier to add an insole to a slightly larger shoe than to stretch a too-small one. For running shoes, many experts recommend going 0.5 size larger than your dress shoe size to accommodate foot swelling during exercise.
Do shoe sizes vary between brands?
Yes! Shoe sizing is not perfectly standardized. A Nike size 10 may fit differently than an Adidas size 10. Always check the brand's specific size chart and read customer reviews about whether shoes run large or small.
What is shoe width (D, E, EE, W)?
Width sizes: B (Narrow), D (Standard for Men, Wide for Women), E/EE/EEE (Extra Wide). Women's standard is B, Men's standard is D. If you have wide feet, look for shoes marked 'Wide' or with E/EE width designations.
How do I know if my shoes fit correctly?
A well-fitting shoe should have: 1) Thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the shoe tip. 2) Snug heel that doesn't slip. 3) No pinching at the widest part of your foot. 4) Comfortable walking from the first step (don't expect 'breaking in').
