Are US and EU shoe sizes the same for men and women?

No. US sizing differs by gender, so a US women's size 8 converts differently than a US men's size 8. Always select the correct gender for an accurate result.

Do EU shoe sizes differ between men and women?

EU sizes use a single unisex scale (the Paris Point system), so the numeric EU size is the same regardless of gender — but the US size that maps to a given EU size differs between men and women.

What about half sizes?

This tool supports half sizes (e.g., US 9.5). EU sizing does not use half increments; half US sizes typically map to the next whole EU size or fall between two EU sizes, and this tool shows the closest EU equivalent.

Why do some brands fit differently?

Conversion charts give a standard approximation, but fit can vary by brand and shoe last. When in doubt, size up and check the brand's own size guide.

Does this converter work for children's sizes?

Yes. Select "Kids" to convert US children's sizes (including toddler sizes) to their EU equivalents.
