How It Works

UK shoe sizes use a different scale from US and EU sizes. UK sizes start from 0 for infants and increase in increments of one-third of an inch (8.47 mm). EU sizes follow the Paris point system where each size is 6.67 mm. US sizes are offset from UK sizes by approximately 1 for men and 2 for women.

This converter handles men's, women's and children's sizes across UK, US and EU systems. Half sizes are supported. It also shows the corresponding foot length in centimetres for each size, which is the most accurate way to find your correct size across systems.

Example: UK men's size 9

  1. UK 9 = US 10
  2. UK 9 = EU 43
  3. Foot length: approx. 27.5 cm
