European Shoe Size to UK Guide

European shoe sizes use a different scale from UK sizes. A single EU number can map slightly differently depending on gender category, brand and style.

EU to UK adult sizes

For adults, EU sizing is not gendered in exactly the same way as US sizing, but men’s and women’s shoes can still fit differently because of shape and width.

EU to UK kids sizes

Kids EU to UK conversion should include growing room and foot length checks, especially if the child is between sizes.
