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).
Why Use Our Converter?
Our tool doesn't just rely on the general rule. It uses a comprehensive database to find the corresponding size based on the precise foot measurement associated with each size. This provides a more reliable result, especially when converting between different international sizing systems (like US, UK, and EU). Simply select the conversion direction, choose your region, enter the size, and get an instant, accurate result.
