How to Measure Your Foot
- Place a piece of paper on a hard floor, against a wall.
- Stand on the paper with your heel against the wall. Wear the socks you would normally wear with the footwear.
- Mark the longest part of your foot on the paper.
- Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimeters or inches.
- Use this measurement to find your size in the conversion chart above.
Tips: Measure both feet and use the larger measurement. Feet tend to be largest at the end of the day, so that’s the best time to measure.

Common Footwear Sizing Questions
What’s the difference between US and UK sizing?
UK sizes are typically 0.5 to 1 size smaller than US sizes. For example, a US men’s size 10 is approximately a UK size 9.5.
Are European shoe sizes the same for men and women?
Yes, European (EU) sizing is unisex and based on the length of the foot in millimeters. This makes it easier to convert between men’s and women’s sizes.
How do I convert between women’s and men’s shoe sizes?
Women’s US sizes are typically 1.5 sizes larger than men’s. For example, a women’s US size 8.5 is equivalent to a men’s US size 7.
What is Mondo sizing?

What’s the difference between European shoe size charts and US size charts?
European shoe size charts use a standardized measurement system based on Paris Points (1 point = 2/3 cm), while US size charts use the Barleycorn scale (1 size = 1/3 inch). European charts are also unisex, whereas US charts have separate men’s and women’s scales, making European shoe size to US conversion more straightforward with a proper chart.
