Shoe size converter: UK / India, EU, US and cm
Pick the chart and the size you know. The matching row is highlighted in the full chart.
How to use it
- Most pairs sold in India carry the UK size. Imported and sports pairs often carry EU or US.
- If the customer does not know the size, measure the foot: heel against a wall, mark the longest toe, measure in cm. Choose “Foot length (cm)” and pick the nearest length at or above the measurement.
- Kids' sizes run 1C to 13C and then start again at 1 (youth).
Approximate. There is no single legal size chart. Lasts differ from brand to brand and between open and closed footwear, so a pair can fit one size up or down. Always try the pair on.
The full charts are in the shoe size chart guide.
Questions
Is the Indian size the same as the UK size?
In practice, yes — most Indian brands print UK sizes, so a UK 8 is sold as size 8.
42 is which size?
EU 42 is about UK 8 for men. Check the chart for the brand if it gives one.
The foot is between two sizes. Which one?
Usually the bigger one, especially for closed shoes and for children. Feet are also slightly larger in the evening.
