These are widely-published reference values, not a mathematical conversion with one correct answer. Sizing varies by brand, sometimes by a full size, so treat this as a starting point for picking a size to try, not a guarantee, and check the specific brand's own size chart when it's available.
Frequently asked questions
Why isn't this a precise calculator like a unit converter?+
Shoe and clothing sizing isn't standardized the way metric units are. Different brands cut sizes differently, sometimes by a full size, so there's no single mathematically correct conversion, only widely-used reference points.
Why are men's and women's shoe sizes on separate charts?+
US men's and women's shoe sizing use different scales for the same physical foot length (women's US sizing generally runs about 1.5-2 sizes higher than the equivalent men's size), so a single combined chart would be misleading.
Should I trust this over a specific brand's own size chart?+
No, use this as a starting point for what size to try, then check the specific brand's own chart when it's available, especially for anything you can't try on before buying.
