How to Measure Your Shoe Size at Home
For the most accurate size, measure your feet at the end of the day when they are at their largest. Here’s how:
- Step on paper. While wearing socks, place a piece of paper on a hard floor and step on it.
- Trace your foot. Keep your pencil or pen upright and trace the complete outline of your foot.
- Measure the length. Use a ruler to measure the distance from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure both feet. Use the measurement from your larger foot to find your size on the chart above.
- For an easy tool, you can also print our Free Printable Shoe Size Chart and stand on it to read your size directly.
Tips for Finding the Perfect Fit
- If you're between sizes, go up. It's better for a shoe to be slightly too big than too small. A tight shoe can cause blisters, bunions, and other foot problems.
- Consider the shoe type. A size 10 in a running sneaker might fit differently than a size 10 leather dress shoe because of the materials and shape.
- Don't forget about width. Standard shoe sizes are for medium-width feet (D). If you have wide or narrow feet, you may need to look for shoes specifically in those widths (e.g., 2E for wide, B for narrow).
- Check brand-specific charts. While our chart is a great guide, some brands have unique sizing. If you're buying from a new brand, it's always a good idea to check their website.
Common EU to US Conversions for Men
Shopping European brands? Because one EU size spans roughly half a US size, an EU number can match two neighboring US sizes on a generic chart. From the table above:
- EU 42 in US men's: about US 8.5-9 (foot ~10.25 inches). Athletic brands often label this EU 42.5.
- EU 43 in US men's: about US 9.5-10 (foot ~10.5 inches).
- EU 44 in US men's: about US 10.5-11 (foot ~11 inches). Athletic brands often label this EU 44.5.
- EU 45 in US men's: about US 11.5-12 (foot ~11.25 inches).
When in doubt, match your measured foot length instead of converting between printed sizes (see how to measure).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a men's US 10 in UK and EU sizes?
A men's US 10 converts to a UK 9.5 and an EU 43. See the full conversion chart for every size from US 6 to 16.
Is a men's US 9 the same as a UK 9?
No. A men's US 9 equals a UK 8.5 and an EU 42, fitting a foot about 10.25 inches long. UK numbers run about half to one size lower than the same US number.
How do men's shoe sizes convert to women's?
Add 1.5 to 2 sizes to a men's size. For example, a men's 8 is roughly a women's 9.5 or 10. Exact differences vary by brand, so compare foot-length measurements when precision matters.
What should I do if I'm between two sizes?
Size up. A slightly roomy shoe is far more comfortable than a tight one, which can cause blisters and bunions. This matters most when converting between US, UK, and EU sizes, and our measuring guide helps you get it right the first time.

EU 44 is about a US 10.5-11, fitting a foot around 11 inches long. Note that athletic brands sometimes label this EU 44.5, so check the brand's own chart when precision matters.
