EU to US Shoe Size Converter

Convert European (EU) shoe sizes into American (US) sizes instantly. EU labels appear on shoes from countless international brands, so when you are shopping a US retailer, reading an American review, or buying from a US seller, this tool gives you the matching US number for both men and women — with a complete reference chart to back it up.

Key difference: EU sizes are unisex — one EU number for any foot of that length. US sizes split into separate men's and women's scales, so the same EU size maps to two different US numbers. Pick your gender first.

When You Need This

American retailers list shoes in US sizes — convert your familiar EU number before you order to avoid a wrong fit.

How to Convert EU to US

1

Select Your Gender

Toggle between Men and Women. The EU number is unisex, but its US equivalent is different for men and women — this choice decides which US result you get.

2

Pick Your EU Size

Choose your EU shoe size from the dropdown. Half sizes (such as EU 38.5) are included for a more precise fit.

3

Read the US Result

The matching US size appears instantly. Tap swap to reverse the direction and convert US back to EU whenever you need it.

4

Cross-Check the Chart

Scroll to the full size chart to compare your size across US, UK, EU, and CM (JP) — useful for verifying the fit in another system.

Brands vary. These are standard conversions, but the same US number can run large or small between makers. When in doubt, measure your foot length in centimeters and compare it to the brand's own chart.

Common EU to US Conversions

EU	US Men	EU	US Women
EU 39	US 6.5	EU 37	US 7
EU 40	US 7	EU 38	US 8
EU 42	US 8.5	EU 39	US 9
EU 43	US 9.5	EU 40	US 10
EU 44	US 10	EU 41	US 11

Tip: An EU 40 is about a US men's 7 but a US women's 10 — same physical shoe, different US label. That gap is exactly why selecting your gender comes first.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EU 42 in US size?

An EU 42 is approximately US men's 8.5. EU 42 also appears at the top of the women's range, where it converts to about US women's 12. Choose your gender for the right result.

Do EU sizes work for both men and women?

Yes — EU sizes are unisex. An EU 40 is the same physical size regardless of gender. The difference shows up only when you convert it to a US (or UK) number, where men's and women's scales diverge.

Why are there half sizes in EU?

Half sizes such as EU 38.5 offer a more precise fit between whole numbers. Each full EU size equals about 6.67 mm of foot length, so a half size is roughly a 3.3 mm difference.

Is EU sizing the same as the Paris Point system?

Yes. Continental European sizes are built on the Paris Point, where each unit equals two-thirds of a centimeter (about 6.67 mm). That is why EU numbers climb faster than US or UK numbers for the same foot.

Can I also convert EU to UK or CM?

Yes. The size chart shows each size across US, UK, EU, and CM (JP) in one row, and you can switch the "To" system in the converter to read UK or CM directly.

What if I'm between two US sizes?

If your EU size lands between two US numbers, rounding up is usually safer — a slightly roomy shoe is more comfortable than a tight one. Comparing your foot length in centimeters against the CM column gives the most reliable answer.
