Frequently Asked Questions

How do shoe sizes convert between EU, US, and UK?

EU sizes use the Paris Point system: EU = foot(cm) × 1.5 + 2. For US: US Men = EU − 33, US Women = EU − 31. UK sizes use the barleycorn system: UK = 3 × foot(inches) − 23. For example, EU 42 ≈ US Men 9 ≈ UK 8.5.

How much bigger is one shoe size?

One full EU size equals approximately 6.67 mm (0.26 inches). One UK size equals one barleycorn (8.47 mm or 1/3 inch). Half sizes are about half those increments.

What do shoe width letters mean (D, E, EE)?

US shoe width letters range from 4A (extra narrow) to 6E (extra wide). D is standard for men, B is standard for women. Each letter step adds approximately 3.175 mm (1/8 inch) of width. Common widths: B (narrow), D (medium), E (wide), 2E/EE (extra wide).

How do I measure my foot size in centimeters?

Stand on a piece of paper, mark the tip of your longest toe and the back of your heel, then measure the distance in centimeters. For width, measure across the widest part (ball of foot). Use this tool to convert those measurements into any sizing system.

What is the Paris Point system?

The Paris Point (also called Mondopoint or ISO 9407) is the standard European shoe sizing system using 2/3 cm increments. The formula is EU size = foot length (cm) × 1.5 + 2. Created in 19th-century France, it remains the basis for EU sizing worldwide.
