International Shoe Sizing Conversion Guide

If the various shoe sizes you're looking for are listed using a system you aren't familiar with, it can be difficult to know how to buy shoes that will fit. Most of the shoes listed on Overstock.com are in U.S. sizes, which can make purchasing shoes online confusing. This international shoe size conversion guide is here to give you an easy reference when you're shopping for shoes online. With various international shoe sizes, including men's shoe sizes, women's shoe sizes and children's shoe sizes, available, you're sure to find the information you need. Remember that, even with the right shoe size conversion table, shoes from different manufacturers will fit differently. You may also want to look at larger children's shoe sizes, since kids' feet grow so quickly.

1. Find your measurements. Measure your feet late in the day, as they tend to be larger at this time; you can get a precise measurement this way. You should also wear the socks you plan to wear frequently with your shoes to determine shoe sizes. Have a friend trace your foot on a piece of paper and measure the tracing, finding the length of your foot in inches closest to the next 16th inch. Find the width of your foot, and then measure your other foot; use the measurements from the largest foot when referring to a shoe size conversion table.
