Conversion of UK, US and EU sizes: an uncomplicated guide

Exploring the world of shoe sizes can be as complex as deciphering an ancient riddle. First of all, let's face it: who hasn't bought a pair of shoes online, full of enthusiasm, only to discover that they look like they were designed for someone else's feet?

It's something that happens even in the best of situations. However, there is a solution known as shoe size conversion.

Understanding the difference in shoe size conversion

British system (UK)

Let's take a closer look at the British system. In the UK, shoe sizes are numbered in a peculiar way. They start somewhere near the number 0 and increase progressively.

However, here's the key point: a size in the British system does not correspond directly to a size in the American or European systems. So if you use the number 9 in the British system, that doesn't necessarily mean that it corresponds to the number 9 in the other systems.

American system (US)

Moving on, the American system. The United States likes to do things its own way, and this is no different when it comes to shoe sizes. As with the British system, sizes start small and work their way up, but the scale is a little different. So it's crucial not to assume that your UK or EU size will be the same in the US.

European (EU) system

Last but not least is the European system. This is perhaps the most "to the point" of the three, with sizes generally following a more linear numerical sequence. However, don't fall into the trap of thinking that because it's simpler, it's universal. There are still important variations to consider, especially between different countries in Europe.


How to convert shoe sizes?

Now that you have an idea of how each system works, the question that remains is: how do you convert between them? Here comes an indispensable tool for any shoe buyer: the size conversion chart.

These tables are real treasures for anyone who wants to avoid the frustration of receiving a shoe that doesn't fit.

To use a conversion table, simply find your size in one of the systems and follow the corresponding row or column to find your size in the other systems.
