Foot Length to Shoe Size
Measuring your foot length in centimeters is the most accurate way to find your size:
1. Stand on a piece of paper
2. Trace around your foot
3. Measure the longest distance from heel to toe
4. Use the measurement to find your size:
Foot length 25.5 cm → US Men's 8 / US Women's 9.5 / EU 41 / UK 7.5
Foot length 24.0 cm → US Men's 6.5 / US Women's 8 / EU 39 / UK 6
Important Notes
- Conversions are approximate — sizes between systems don't always align exactly
- When a size falls between two EU sizes, try both to find the best fit
- Brands vary — some run large or small compared to standard sizing
- Running shoes are often recommended half to one full size larger than street shoes
- Children's feet grow quickly — measure every 2–3 months and allow 1–1.5 cm of growing room
- US men's and women's sizes use different scales — a US men's 8 is not the same as a US women's 8
