Converse Shoe Size Chart
Converse publishes separate charts for Chuck Taylor and other Converse sneakers. Chucks often feel long; start half a size down from your Nike street size unless you have wide feet.
Chuck Taylor: many wearers go ~0.5 down from their usual US sneaker size. Always confirm on the Chuck table—not the standard Converse table.

How to use this size chart
- Decide Chuck vs other Converse—tables differ.
- Measure foot length and match US/UK/EU/cm.
- If you already own Chucks that fit, reuse that US size rather than converting from Nike blindly.
- Need a refresher on measuring? See how to measure shoe size.
Fit tips for Converse Chuck Sneakers
- Chuck 70 / All Star: expect a roomier length; size down if you know Chucks run long for you.
- Standard Converse sneakers may fit closer to a typical US athletic size—use the second table.
- Kids’ Converse: measure both feet; canvas stretches slightly in width over time, not in length.
Width tip: Classic Chucks are a fairly straight, medium last. Wide feet sometimes stay true to length and accept a snug width, or choose a different silhouette rather than sizing way up. Shoe width letters.

Converse sizing is not one-size-fits-all
Chuck Taylor All Star runs long and narrow compared with athletic trainers. Chuck 70 and standard Chuck share similar length advice—often half size down from your Nike US. Converse Pro Leather and Star Player run closer to true to size.
Unisex Converse lists men's US on most classic Chucks. Women typically subtract 1.5–2 US from their women's size or match foot cm.
Converse models compared
| Model / line | Typical fit | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| Chuck Taylor All Star (canvas) | Long; narrow | Half size down from athletic US for many |
| Chuck 70 | Long; slightly tighter toe cap | Same or 0.5 down vs standard Chuck |
| Chuck Taylor All Star Lugged | Heavy sole; same upper as Chuck | Length rule like classic Chuck |
| Pro Leather | True to size vs Chucks | Use athletic US, not Chuck down-size rule |
| Run Star Hike | Chunky; TTS to half down | Try both if between sizes—platform affects feel |
Converse Chuck vs standard athletic sizing
- Nike US 10: Chuck often feels like 10.5 length—try Converse 9.5 men’s.
- Vans Old Skool: Similar narrow last; Vans TTS while Chuck runs long.
- Adidas Samba: Samba TTS; Chuck needs down-size vs Samba US.
- Standard dress shoe US: Do not use dress size—measure cm.
Size Converse Chucks
- 1
Measure cm
Do not rely on dress or running size alone.
- 2
Apply Chuck rule
Medium width: try 0.5 down from Nike US.
- 3
Wide feet exception
Stay TTS or half up—down-sizing pinches forefoot.
- 4
Wear intended socks
Thin/no-show vs thick crew changes feel on canvas.
Converse mistakes
Avoid: Buying Pro Leather size like Chuck
Instead: Pro Leather TTS; Chuck down-size rule does not apply.
Avoid: Women buying men's Chuck without converting
Instead: Women's 8 often → men's 6–6.5; verify cm.
Avoid: Expecting wide Chuck options
Instead: Canvas Chuck is narrow—half up if needed, not wide SKU.
Shopping Converse online
Chuck Taylor vs Pro Leather fit differently from each other. Filter reviews by model name before you decide to size up or down across the whole brand.
Chuck down-size rule does not apply to Pro Leather or Star Player. Order two half sizes only when returns are free and you measured both feet in cm.
Marketplace sellers may list old season lasts. Buy from authorized retailers when fit consistency matters for Converse.
Converse online order mistakes
Avoid: Choosing US size from memory without remeasuring
Instead: Trace feet every six months; length changes with age and activity.
Avoid: Ignoring width and buying length only
Instead: Pinch at the ball means width or model change—not always +1 size.
Avoid: Assuming kids scale matches adult numbering
Instead: Use kids cm row; adult conversion formulas do not apply.
Return or exchange workflow
- 1
Keep packaging
Boxes and hang tags speed refunds when size is wrong.
- 2
Try indoors only
Scuffed soles or worn labels may void returns.
- 3
Document fit issue
Photo of pinch point or heel gap helps support.
- 4
Reorder fast movers
Half sizes and popular EU widths sell out during sales.

- How often to remeasure?
- Feet: twice a year or after weight change; kids: every 2–3 months; bras: after body changes.
- Are marketplace sellers reliable for size?

Real-world notes on converse shoe size chart
Charts for converse shoe size chart summarize typical grading—they are not a guarantee for every season or factory run. When a brand refreshes a last or fit block, reviews often mention it before charts update.
Marketplace listings may ship mixed inventory. Compare the size stamped inside the item on delivery with the chart row you used at checkout.
If you are gifting, ask for body or foot measurements in cm instead of guessing their usual tag size. Gift returns are harder when wear signs appear.
Sales associates can measure you in store; take a photo of the store chart if you later order online from the same brand.
Between online orders, remeasure if your weight changed, you had a foot injury, or you switched sock or insole thickness for running.
Teaching kids their cm size helps them shop later—write foot length inside closet door as a reference.
Document the date you measured—repeat after pregnancy, injury, or major weight change so old numbers do not linger in notes apps.
Measurement hygiene
- Stand weight evenly on both feet when tracing outlines.
- Measure twice on different days if you are between rows.
- For clothing, wear the undergarments you will use with the piece.
- For shoes, match sock thickness to intended use.
- Convert using cm first, then read US/UK/EU from the row—never reverse the order.
- Keep a saved note on your phone with your foot cm and bust/waist/hip cm.
- Update kids' sizes every growth spurt—do not buy multiple seasons ahead.
- Check whether reviews mention 'runs small' for the exact model you chose.
- Prefer free-return windows when trying a new brand last.
- Wide feet: try width SKUs before adding length—see 2E vs 4E shoe width.
Common converse shoe size chart errors
Avoid: Using an old size tag from a different brand
Instead: Measure today and match the chart row for this category.
Avoid: Rounding down cm to stay in a smaller letter size
Instead: Round to the row that fits your longer foot or largest body measure.
Avoid: Ignoring half sizes or wide widths
Instead: Half steps and 2E/4E widths fix fit better than guessing.
Avoid: Assuming sales charts match outlet or marketplace stock
Instead: Verify inside label on delivery against the chart you saved.
