UK to US Shoe Size Converter

Direct Answer Summary

Converting UK to US shoe sizes requires adding 0.5 to 1 size for men (a UK 9 corresponds to a US Men's 9.5 or 10) and adding 2 full sizes for women (a UK 6 equals a US Women's 8). Both systems use 1/3-inch increments, but US sizing starts with a higher baseline offset.

Convert UK shoe sizes to American (US) shoe sizes across adult and youth shoes with centimeter measurements and precise width guidelines.
