Women’s footwear drifts more between regions than men’s.

Every system on this page, and where its numbers come from

Published conversion charts disagree with each other by as much as a full size. Rather than pick one and hope, the four native systems are the app’s own chart data, and the rest are derived from them by a fixed rule.

US

Women’s clothing 0–18, letter sizes XS–XXL alongside. Footwear follows the Brannock scale.

From the app’s charts

UK

Women’s clothing runs four above US, so a US 8 is a UK 12. Also used in New Zealand.

From the app’s charts

EU

The 32–50 scale, based on body measurements in centimeters. This is the German or Continental convention.

From the app’s charts

AU

Womenswear matches UK. Footwear tracks US for women and UK for men, which catches people out.

From the app’s charts

FR

French, also used in Belgium, Spain, and Portugal.

Derived · EU + 2

IT

Italian, which runs the largest numbers of any clothing scale here.

Derived · EU + 4

JP

Japanese clothing, odd numbers only. Runs small by Western standards; sizing up is the usual advice.

Derived · US + 5

RU

Russian. The least corroborated offset on this page, so treat it as indicative.

Derived · EU + 6

JP/CN

Japanese and Chinese footwear, which are simply foot length in centimeters. The most reliable conversion here, because nothing is approximated.

Three things worth knowing before you publish one of these

Conversions are conventions

There is no arithmetic turning a US 8 into an EU 40. It is an agreement, and brands drift half a size either side of it routinely. Start here, then correct against your own garments.

Foot length is the honest column

Regional shoe numbers are conventions. 26.7 centimeters is a measurement. It is also why the Japanese and Chinese footwear conversion is the only exact one on this page.

Show one region at a time

A shopper in Berlin does not need the AU column. Showing the chart by country narrows the table to what applies, and a narrower table actually gets read.
