Canadian to US Shoe Size Converter
Shopping in the US or online? Find your correct size with our Canadian to US shoe size converter. Officially, CA and US sizes are the same, but this tool helps confirm the right fit and shows equivalent UK and EU sizes.
Instant Canadian to US Conversion Tool
Select your shoe type, then enter a Canadian or US size. Since they are the same, the converter will confirm other international sizes for you.
Results use standard data. Canadian shoe brands like Aldo or Sorel may have unique fits. Using your foot length in CM or IN is always most accurate.
How to Measure for an Accurate Canadian to US Size Conversion
Even though Canadian and US sizes are the same, measuring your foot is the best way to guarantee a perfect fit, especially when buying a new brand.
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 or MM (CM * 10) value into the converter tool above for the most reliable result.
