How to Measure Feet Accurately (+ Printable Tool)
Precise foot length (CM/IN/MM) is crucial for accurate shoe size conversion, especially when comparing brands.
Measurement Steps:
Gather Supplies: Find a hard floor, a wall, a piece of paper larger than your foot, a pen or pencil, and a ruler or tape measure (with CM & IN).
Position Foot: Place the paper on the floor against the wall. Stand on the paper with your heel firmly against the wall. Wear the type of socks you'd normally wear with the shoes. Ensure your weight is evenly distributed.
Trace Outline: Have someone else trace the outline of your foot, keeping the pen held vertically (at a 90° angle) to the paper. If alone, trace carefully, ensuring the pen stays snug against your foot.
Measure Length: Remove your foot. Draw a straight line from the back of the heel mark to the tip of the mark for your longest toe. Measure this line using your ruler in both **Centimeters (CM)** and **Inches (IN)**.
Repeat for Other Foot: Feet are often slightly different sizes. Repeat steps 2-4 for your other foot.
Use the Longer Measurement: Always use the measurement from your *longer* foot for conversion. Enter this CM, IN, or MM (CM * 10) value into the converter tool above.
Consider Comfort Room: Most size charts account for *shoe* length, not exact foot length. Unless a brand guide says otherwise, add about 1cm (approx. ⅜ inch) to your foot measurement *before* comparing to size charts to allow for necessary wiggle room.

Men's ↔ Women's Size Converter (US Only)
Quickly convert between US Men's and US Women's standard shoe sizes. Note this is a general rule and doesn't account for width or brand variations.
Standard US conversion rule: US Women's Size ≈ US Men's Size + 1.5.
Brand-Specific Shoe Sizing Guides
Shoe sizing can vary significantly between brands! Use our shoe size converter and charts as a starting point, but always check the brand's official size chart before making a purchase.
Click the brand name below to visit their official size charts for the most accurate information!
Nike Sizing: Generally considered true-to-size for many models, but some styles (like certain running shoes) might run slightly small (~0.5 size). Always check their CM/MM measurements if available.
Adidas Sizing: Often fits true-to-size. Compare their UK, EU, and JP (which usually corresponds to CM/Mondopoint) sizing on their charts.
Puma Sizing: Sizing can be variable depending on the shoe style. Referencing their CM guide is highly recommended for the best fit.
New Balance Sizing: Known for offering multiple widths (Narrow, Standard, Wide, X-Wide). Generally true-to-size in length, but check width recommendations. CM/MM charts are helpful.
Dr. Martens Sizing: Primarily uses UK sizing. Often runs large, especially in boots (consider sizing down, particularly if between sizes). They recommend measuring your foot.
Birkenstock Sizing: Uses EU sizing. Known for specific regular and narrow fits based on foot tracings. Their fit guide is essential.
Shoe Fit Tips & Common Considerations
Achieving the perfect shoe fit involves more than just converting numbers. Consider these tips:
Time of Day Matters: Measure your feet at the end of the day when they are likely to be slightly swollen for the most accurate sizing.
Consider Socks: Always measure your feet wearing the type of socks you intend to wear with the shoes.
Check Both Feet: Most people have one foot slightly larger than the other. Always size based on the larger foot.
Allow Wiggle Room: Ensure there's about a thumb's width (approx. ½ inch or 1-1.5cm) of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Width is Important: Standard widths vary (Men's D/M, Women's B/M). If you often find shoes tight or loose side-to-side, look for brands offering width options (Narrow, Wide, etc.). See FAQ.
Shoe Type Variations: Running shoes might require sizing up ½ size for toe splay. Hiking boots need room for thicker socks and foot swelling. Dress shoes often have a snugger fit.
Material & Break-in: Leather shoes may stretch slightly, while synthetics usually won't. Factor this into your sizing decision and understand the return policy.
If Between Sizes: For athletic shoes or boots, it's often safer to size up. For some sandals or dress shoes, sizing down might be better if the material allows for stretch. Always check brand recommendations.
Shoe Size Converter FAQ
How accurate is this shoe size converter?
This tool uses standard international conversion data, which is generally accurate for *estimating* size. However, due to significant variations between brands and even different shoe models within the same brand, it serves as a guideline. Always verify with the specific brand's size chart and measure your foot length (CM/IN/MM) for the best results.
What's the most reliable measurement to use?
Using your actual foot length in **Centimeters (CM)** or **Millimeters (MM - Mondopoint)** is the most reliable starting point. Enter this value into the converter. Many brands include CM/MM measurements on their official size charts, allowing for a more direct comparison than relying solely on regional sizes like US, EU, or UK.
How does EU shoe size convert to US?
There's no perfect formula, as it differs for men/women and brands. Generally: Men's US ≈ (EU Size * 0.75) + 2 (very rough). Women's US ≈ EU Size - 31 (also rough). Use the converter tool or charts above for better estimates, but prioritize brand charts.
What is EU size 38 / 39 in US Women's?
Typically, EU 38 ≈ US Women's 7.5, and EU 39 ≈ US Women's 8.5. Check the converter or charts for confirmation.
How does the Men's to Women's shoe size conversion work?
The standard rule of thumb for US sizes is: **US Women's Size = US Men's Size + 1.5**. Conversely, US Men's Size = US Women's Size - 1.5. Use the dedicated Men's↔Women's converter section above for quick US conversions.
What do width letters like M, D, B, W, E mean?
Shoe width varies:
Men's Standard/Medium: Usually 'D' (sometimes 'M').
Women's Standard/Medium: Usually 'B' (sometimes 'M').
Men's Wide: Often 'E', 'EE' (2E), or 'EEEE' (4E). 'W' can also mean Wide.
Women's Wide: Often 'D' (equivalent to Men's standard), 'E', or 'EE'. 'W' can also mean Wide.
Narrow widths also exist (e.g., Men's B, Women's A or AA).
Check the brand's specific width chart if you need non-standard sizing. This converter primarily handles length.
How do MX (Mexico) shoe sizes convert?
Mexican sizing is highly variable. Sometimes it directly corresponds to the foot length in **CM** (e.g., size 27 = 27 CM foot). Other times, it roughly aligns with **US Men's size minus 1.5 or 2**. Using your CM measurement is the safest way to compare.
How do KR (Korean) shoe sizes convert?
Korean (KR) sizing is straightforward: it's the **foot length in Millimeters (MM)**. This is the same as the **Mondopoint** system. For example, KR 265 = 265 MM = 26.5 CM foot length. Use the "Mondo/KR (mm)" input field.
How do CN (Chinese) shoe sizes convert?
Chinese (CN) sizing is notoriously inconsistent. Often, it mirrors the **EU size**. Sometimes, particularly with shoes manufactured for the domestic market or specific types like athletic shoes, it might represent the **foot length in Millimeters (MM)** similar to KR/Mondopoint. Always look for clarification on the product page or brand chart, and prioritize CM/MM measurements.
What is the order of Kids' shoe sizes?
Kids' sizing progresses from Baby/Infant sizes (ending in 'C' for Crib/Child), through Toddler sizes (also 'C'), up to size 13.5C. After 13.5C, it switches to Youth sizes starting at 1Y and goes up (e.g., 1Y, 2Y, 3Y...). Size 1Y is larger than 13.5C.
What is Mondopoint sizing?
Mondopoint is an international standard based on **foot length and width in Millimeters (MM)**. For example, 270/105 means 270mm long and 105mm wide. The converter uses the length component (MM). It's commonly used for ski boots, military boots, and is the same length measurement as Korean (KR) sizing.
Final Sizing Disclaimer
This shoe size converter, charts, and guides are provided as reference tools only. Sizing standards, manufacturing processes, and last shapes vary significantly between brands and even different styles from the same brand.
Always prioritize measuring your foot accurately (CM/IN/MM) and consulting the specific brand's official size chart and fit recommendations before purchasing footwear. Relying solely on conversion may lead to an incorrect fit.
