EU to US Shoe Size Converter

Direct Answer Summary

To convert European (EU) shoe sizes to US sizes, subtract 33 from men's sizes (an EU 43 equals a US Men's 9.5-10) and subtract 31 from women's sizes (an EU 38 equals a US Women's 7.5). Because EU Paris points differ from US barleycorn steps, always verify millimeter foot length.

Accurately convert European (EU) shoe sizes to US sizes for Men, Women, and Children with Paris point conversions and foot length tables.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

Expert answers regarding footwear fit, regional size variations, and measurements.

What is an EU 42 in US shoe size?

An EU size 42 corresponds to approximately a US Men's 8.5 to 9, or a US Women's 10 to 10.5.

What does an EU 38 convert to in US women's?

An EU size 38 is typically equivalent to a US Women's size 7.5, accommodating a foot length of approximately 24.0 cm.

Why don't all European shoe brands have half sizes?

European sizes use Paris points (6.67 mm per full step), which are already smaller increments than US full sizes (8.46 mm), so many European brands only manufacture full sizes.
