Shoe size systems
There are about 7 different major shoe-size systems globally, with the US, British, European and Japanese size systems as the most common ones.
For the US and for the British shoe-size systems, shoe sizes wary between men’s and women’s shoes. Eg. a men’s 10.5 is a women’s 11.5. Note that this doesn’t apply for children’s shoes, in these systems. The US system also has a special category for athletic shoes.
In Europe, shoe makers are supposed to follow the same shoe-size system. Note however, that sizes might differ between eg. France and Germany. The sizes also aren’t totally standardized, which means that shoes from different manufacturers might have different sizes, although they have the same measurements.
These conversion charts are used for converting between different international shoe size systems, for men’s and women’s shoes. Please observe that these size charts are only to be seen as a guide to helping you find your right size. Sizes may differ notably between different shoe manufacturers and brands.
Find the right shoe size
Make sure that the shoe is not too narrow or too wide. There should be enough room for your toes to move around comfortably, and the sides of your feet should not be pinched.
Check the length of the shoe: Your toes should have enough space to wiggle, but not so much that your foot slides around in the shoe.
Your feet tend to swell throughout the day, so it is best to try on shoes later in the day when your feet are at their largest.
Make sure the shoes have proper arch support. The arch of the shoe should match your foot.
