How it is calculated

  1. We add 1.5 cm to the foot length for room (the length of the last).
  2. EU (Paris point, 2/3 cm) = 1.5 × last length in cm.
  3. UK adult = 3 × last in inches − 25; UK kids = 3 × last in inches − 12.
  4. US men ≈ UK + 1; US women ≈ UK + 2; US kids ≈ UK + 0.5. Rounded to the nearest half size.

Example

A 26 cm foot: about EU 41.5, UK 7.5, US men 8.5, US women 9.5.

Good to know

  • There is no absolute match: each maker has its own charts.
  • Foot width matters too; measure both feet and keep the longer one.
  • For children, leave about 1 cm of room to grow.
