EU shoe sizes are based on Paris points, where each point equals 2/3 of a centimetre. Size 40 corresponds to a foot length of about 25.5 cm. EU sizing is gender-neutral and used across continental Europe.
UK sizes start from 0 and go up in thirds of an inch (barleycorns). Men's and women's UK sizes use the same scale, unlike the US system. India and parts of the Commonwealth also use UK sizing.
US women's sizes are approximately 1.5 to 2 sizes larger than men's for the same foot. A US Men's 8 is roughly equivalent to a US Women's 9.5. Always check whether a US size is men's or women's when shopping.
Japan measures foot size directly in centimetres, making it one of the most intuitive systems. JP 26 = a 26 cm foot. Half-sizes (e.g. 25.5) are common.
Korean shoe sizes are expressed in millimetres of foot length. KR 260 = a 26 cm foot. Like Japan, it is based on direct foot measurement and is very straightforward.
Stand on paper, trace your foot, and measure the longest point from heel to toe. Add 0.5–1 cm of room for comfort. Measure both feet — most people have one foot slightly larger — and use the larger measurement.

The Mondopoint system — used by NATO and some ski boot manufacturers — measures foot length and width directly in millimetres, making it the most precise and internationally consistent system. It is, however, rarely used in everyday retail.
No. UK, US, EU, and other size systems use different scales, and manufacturers can apply their own lasts and fit. A converted number is a useful starting point, not a guarantee that two shoes will feel identical. Check the brand’s own chart and foot-length measurement whenever it is available.
Place your heel against a wall on a sheet of paper while wearing the socks you expect to use. Mark the longest toe, measure both feet in the same units, and use the longer measurement. Measure later in the day if possible because feet can swell. Leave the manufacturer’s recommended allowance rather than adding a random size.
Small differences between feet are common, and width, arch shape, toe shape, and shoe construction affect comfort as much as length. Fit the larger foot and use the brand’s width options or an insole if appropriate. For persistent pain, numbness, or swelling, get advice from a qualified healthcare professional or footwear specialist.
Use your longer foot measurement with the manufacturer’s own chart, then check width, fit notes, and the return policy. Conversion tables cannot account for every brand’s shape or whether a style runs narrow or wide. Read reviews for fit patterns, but treat them as supporting evidence rather than a replacement for measuring.
