Shoe size converter
Shopping for sneakers on an international site, or sending shoes as a gift abroad? Indian shoes useUK sizes, while American sites use US sizes and European brands useEU sizes. This shoe size converter translates between all three for men and women, and can find your size from your foot length — the most reliable way to buy shoes online.
How to use it
- Choose men's or women's sizes.
- Pick the size system you know and enter your size (or your foot length in cm).
- Read the matching sizes; the full chart is highlighted at your size.
Example
A man who wears size 8 in India (UK 8) should look for US 9 orEU 42, which fits a foot about 25.7 cm long. A woman's UK 5 is a US 7 and roughly EU 38. Sizes are approximate — always check the brand's own chart. For clothes, use theclothing size converter.
Frequently asked questions
What shoe size system does India use?
Indian shoe brands and shops use UK sizes, so an Indian size 8 is a UK 8. International websites often list US or EU sizes, which is where conversion helps.
How do I convert UK to US shoe size?
For men, add 1 to the UK size (UK 8 = US 9). For women, add about 2 (UK 5 = US 7). EU sizes don’t follow a simple rule, so use the chart.
How do I measure my foot?
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 (feet swell slightly during the day) and use the longer one.
Why do sizes differ between brands?
Each brand uses its own shoe lasts, so the same labelled size can vary by up to half a size. Check the brand’s own size chart when buying online, and compare with your foot length.
