EU Shoe Sizes in US
How to Convert EU to US Shoe Sizes
European (EU) shoe sizes use the Paris point system, where each size increment equals 2/3 centimeter (about 0.26 inches). Unlike US sizing, EU sizes are unisex — the same number represents the same foot length regardless of gender.
US sizes, on the other hand, use different scales for men's and women's shoes. A women's US size is approximately 1.5 numbers higher than the equivalent men's size. This means an EU 40 converts to US 9 for women but US 7 for men.
For the most accurate conversion, use the chart above. While general formulas exist, they only approximate — the table is based on industry-standard mappings used by major shoe manufacturers.
