Is EU shoe size the same as foot length?

No. EU sizing is a label based on the Paris point system, while foot length is a direct measurement in centimeters or millimeters. The converter keeps both visible because brand charts can use either.

Why are US men's and women's shoe sizes different?

US men's and women's labels use different offsets. A US women's 9 is not the same length as a US men's 9, so the calculator asks for the category before converting.

Should I round up when I am between shoe sizes?

Often, but not always. Wider feet, running shoes and winter socks may need more room, while narrow dress shoes may feel sloppy if rounded up too far. Use the brand chart as the final check.

Toe room

Toe room affects EU and Mondopoint estimates. Use brand charts for final fit decisions.

Known size or foot length

System

Mondopoint

270 mm

Foot length: 27 cm (270 mm / 10.6 in). Insole estimate with 10 mm toe room: 28 cm.

This conversion is based on length only. Width, instep, last shape and material can make a different model fit better than a larger size.

The visual ruler is approximate. Measure your foot with paper and a physical ruler, then use this preview only as a guide.

Convert Shoe Sizes by Foot Length

This converter estimates the closest US, UK, EU, centimeter and Mondopoint shoe sizes from a known size or from measured foot length. English search results focus on practical shopping use, so the calculator keeps foot length visible instead of treating any regional label as exact.

Brand charts still win

Shoe sizing is not perfectly standardized. Last shape, width, toe room, sock thickness and brand-specific charts can move the best fit by a half size or more.

US	Separate adult men, women and kids scales	United States and many online stores
UK	Adult and kids scales with a different offset from US	United Kingdom and some Commonwealth stores
EU	Paris-point label, commonly shown in half-size steps	Europe and global footwear retailers
CM	Measured foot length in centimeters	Helpful when comparing brand size charts
Mondopoint	Foot length in millimeters	ISO-based athletic, work and specialist footwear

E U \approx \frac{L _{f oo t} + A}{6.667}

L_foot is foot length in millimeters; A is the toe-room allowance.

How to Measure Before Converting

Measure both feet while standing and use the longer foot.
Measure from heel to the longest toe in centimeters or millimeters.
Add less allowance for snug dress shoes and more for winter, running or kids shoes.
If the result lands between two sizes, compare the brand's own size chart and fit notes.
