International Shoe Size Conversion Guide

from Overstock.com

If shoe sizes are listed using a system you aren't familiar with, it can be difficult to know how to buy shoes that will fit. The shoes here on Overstock.com are in U.S. sizes, but if you're used to a different size system, this could be confusing. This international shoe size conversion guide is here to give you an easy reference when you're online shopping for shoes for men, women and children.

Remember that, even with these charts, shoes from different manufacturers will fit differently.

Women's shoes

  1. Your feet swell during the day, so take your measurement later in the day.
  2. Measure your feet while wearing socks of the same thickness as the ones you would wear with the shoes.
  3. Place a piece of paper on the floor; tape it in place if it slips.
  4. Have a friend trace your foot; make sure the pen or pencil stays perpendicular to the floor.
  5. Use a ruler to measure the tracing. Find the length of your foot to the closest 1/16 inch. (See image)
  6. Find the width of your foot in inches, rounding to the nearest 1/16 inch. (See image)
  7. Measure your other foot; use the measurements from whichever foot is larger.
