International Shoe Size Conversion

Using the Shoesize Convertors

To use these Shoesize convertors, first choose the adult, boys or girls convertor.
Then find the row that represents the region of the world which you want to convert
the size from. Let's call this the "FROM" row. Look across the "FROM" row to the size
closest in value to the one you want to convert from. Now, in the same converter
table, find the row with the sizes of the region that you want to convert to. Let's call
this the "TO" row. Finally, by looking straight up and down in the column, that is the
same column that has the size you identified in the "FROM" row, find the same
column in the "TO" row. The size in this column in the "TO" row is the converted size.

For example, if you are an adult Japanese man, and know your size to be 26, and
want to know your Mexican shoe size, then you would look in the adult table at the
row labeled "Japan Men". Find the column with a "26". Now look at the row for
"Mexico" and look across until you are in the same column as the "Japan Men 26".
You should see a "6.5" as your Mexican shoe size.

Please also see the International ShoeSize Chart Notes below and the section on
Other Shoe Size Web Sites.

On most browsers, you can use the mouse to highlight a country's row in the converter for
easier reading and conversion.

You can make the tables larger or smaller by changing the text size setting of your
browser. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, choose the menu items: View, Text Size

International ShoeSize Chart Notes

• The Mondopoint system is the same as measuring the foot (not the shoe) in
Millimeters (or Millimetres, mm.). However, some companies treat Mondopoint as
Centimeters (Centimetres, cm.). So a shoe may be labeled either 240 (mm) or 24 (cm)
if it is designed for a foot that is 240 millimeters long (including some wiggle room
for socks). You may see mondopoint sizes with two numbers separated by a slash, e.g.
240/95. The second number is the width of the foot in millimeters.
• American Women's shoe sizes are the same as American Men's shoe sizes plus 1½.
• Canadian shoe sizes are equivalent (identical) to American shoe sizes for both Adult
and Children's, Men and Women.
• Mexican shoe sizes plus 1½ are the same as American Men's shoe sizes.
• British shoe sizes plus 1 are the same as American Men's shoe sizes. However, I see
many tables using a formula of British size plus 1½. Check with the manufacturer.
• I saw one table on the web indicating British womens running shoe sizes were 1.5 plus
mens size. I think this is incorrect and mistakenly applied the United States sizing rule
to the U.K.
• Japanese shoes sizes are American Men's shoes sizes plus 18. (Some companies say
add 19.)
• Europe uses a system that came from the French called Paris Points (aka Parisien
Prick). One Paris Point equals two-thirds of a centimeter. The system starts at zero
centimeters and increases. There are no half sizes. American size 0 is the same as 15
Paris Points.
• 1 Centimeter (Centimetre) is 10 Millimeters (Millimetres).
• 1 Inch is 2.54 Centimeters (Centimetres).
• Length in Inches = 71/3 + (US Men's shoe size)*1/3
• Paris Points = 311/3 + (UK shoe size)*4/3.
• A Chinese 7 is a UK 4. That's all I know at the moment about sizes of shoes in China.
• Australia and New Zealand use the same shoe sizes as the United Kingdom for boys,
men and girls. However, I have seen women's shoe charts where Australia is 1 or 2
sizes bigger than U.K... I added an entry with one size bigger.
• Korea measures shoe sizes in millimeters (mm.).
• I am told Turkey uses European shoe sizes.
• There are two scales used in the U.S. The standard (or "FIA") scale and the common
scales. The "common" scale is more widely used. The scales are about ½ size
different.
• Although different kinds of shoes prefer different measurement systems, I believe the
charts work for all kinds of shoes. (With the caveat of the variations mentioned
above.) I have been looking into army, military, ski, hiking, climbing boots, ladies
pumps, high-heeled, spike and dress shoes, as well as sneakers, designer shoes,
gentlemen's shoes, causal, penny loafers, sandals, and other styles. I have not been
researching children's shoes in much detail. The sizes above are also good for soccer,
golf, running and other sports shoes. I have not tried bowling shoes or blue suede
sneakers. I intend to get more detail on Nike, Reebok, and Adidas due to the strong
interest in running shoes for people coming to this page.
• If you have information or can point me at information about additional measurement
systems of systems used by different countries I would be grateful. (I am interested in
Latin America and Eastern Europe.)
• Russian and Ukraine shoe sizes taken from Global7Network.com NOTE I am told
these values are incorrect. Russia, Ukraine and other countries of the former USSR
use European shoe sizes. There is no difference for men, women, girls and boys.
In the 1980s a system using shoe sizes measured in centimeters was introduced. The
change was not widely accepted. You can occasionally find shoes measured in
centimeters, but most are marked with European system.
