How do UK shoe sizes convert to US?

For men's shoes, add 1 to the UK size for the US size (UK 8 = US 9) on most brands; Nike, Adidas and New Balance run closer to half a size (UK 8 = US 8.5). For women's shoes add 2 (UK 5 = US 7).

What is a UK 6 in EU sizes?

A UK 6 is an EU 39 on most brands. Some brands label it EU 39.5 or 40, so if you are between sizes, go by foot length in centimetres.

Are EU shoe sizes the same for men and women?

Yes. EU sizing is unisex, which is why it is the safest system to put on a listing that sells internationally.

How do I measure my foot length?

Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, mark the tip of your longest toe, and measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres. Measure both feet in the evening and use the longer one.
