How to Convert Shoe Sizes Between Men and Women
Converting shoe sizes between men's and women's isn't always straightforward. While a common rule of thumb is to add or subtract 1.5 sizes, this can vary between brands and regions. This tool provides a more accurate conversion based on the actual foot length in centimeters (CM), which is the universal standard.
The General Rule
- Men's to Women's: Add 1.5 to the men's size. (e.g., a men's 8.5 is roughly a women's 10).
- Women's to Men's: Subtract 1.5 from the women's size. (e.g., a women's 10 is roughly a men's 8.5).
How This Converter Works
Instead of a single +1.5 / −1.5 offset, this tool matches each size to foot length in the dataset—more reliable across US, UK, and EU. Choose the direction, pick a region, enter the size, and get the result.
