Finding the right shoe size can be a challenge, especially because shoe sizes are not standardized across different countries. Here are some tips and a conversion chart to help you avoid any mistakes.
### How to Measure Your Foot Size in Centimeters
To determine your foot size in centimeters, simply measure your foot. Here’s how you can do it easily:
– Wear socks and stand with your heel at the base of a ruler, then measure to the tip of your big toe. For even greater accuracy, place a sheet of white paper against a wall and stand on it. With your foot flat and your heel against the wall, have someone mark the tip of your big toe on the paper. The measurement from the edge of the paper to the mark gives the size of your foot.
Another option is to use a plastic foot measuring device or print one from the internet – you can find a variety of these tools available for free with a quick Google search.
Once you have your foot measurement, refer to our sizing conversion chart to find your size in US, UK, or IT standards. However, be aware that some brands may run smaller or larger than others.
### Women’s Shoe Size Conversions in CM, FR, US, UK, and EU Sizes
Shoe sizes vary from one country to another, often because different measuring systems are used. In France, shoe sizes are expressed in Paris points, where 1 point equals 6.66 mm. In the UK, the measurement used is the English point, where 1 point equals 25.4 mm. The US uses the American point system, and in Italy, Germany, Spain, and other European countries, the Italian size system is generally used, which tends to run smaller than the French size. The following table shows standard women’s shoe sizes and their corresponding sizes in different countries, listed in order of foot size in centimeters, French size, Italian/European size, UK size, and US size.
