Quick Answer

EU sizes convert to US sizes through foot length. For men's US sizes, the offset is different than for women's sizes.

How to Calculate

  1. Choose whether you are converting EU to US or US to EU.
  2. Select the chart style you want to compare against.
  3. Enter the shoe size you already know.
  4. Click Calculate to see the converted size and foot length.

Formula

Foot length (cm) = (EU size - 2) / 1.5

Foot length (in) = foot length (cm) / 2.54

US men's size = 3 x foot length (in) - 22

US women's size = 3 x foot length (in) - 21

Worked Examples

Example 1: EU 42 is about US men's 9 and US women's 10.

Example 2: US women's 8 is about EU 39.

Example 3: A brand's fit can vary, so always compare the retailer's chart too.
