FAQ
What is UK shoe size in EU?
EU sizing is about 33–34 points above the UK number (e.g. UK 8 ≈ EU 42). The table below gives exact women's and men's values.
How do I measure my foot length?
Stand on a sheet of paper, mark the back of your heel and the tip of your longest toe, and measure the distance in centimetres. Measure both feet and use the larger one — it's the most reliable way to convert across systems.
Are shoe sizes the same across brands?
No. Even within one system, sizes vary by brand and last shape. When you're between sizes, size up and match the foot length in cm shown in the chart.
