Convert women's US shoe sizes to European, UK, and centimetre foot-length equivalents.
Formula
Conversion is performed via a lookup table. Given a US women's size, the EU size, UK size, and foot length in cm are read directly:
{ EU, UK, cm } = table[US size]
Example anchor point: US 7 → EU 37 → UK 5 → 23.8 cm.
How it works
Women's shoe sizes follow regional conventions that differ in their reference scales, so the converter uses a lookup table mapping US women's sizes 5–11 to EU, UK, and foot-length equivalents. EU sizes advance in Paris-point increments (⅔ cm), while UK women's sizes run about 2 sizes below the US equivalent for the same foot length.
Common mistake: A common error when shopping internationally is using a men's size chart for women's shoes or vice versa. Women's US sizes are approximately 1.5 sizes larger than men's for the same physical foot — a woman who wears US 7 corresponds to roughly a men's US 5.5, not a men's US 7.
Worked example
Convert women's US size 7 to EU, UK, and foot length
- Input: US women's shoe size 7.
- Look up size 7 in the women's conversion table.
- Read off: EU = 37, UK = 5, foot length = 23.8 cm.
US women's 7 = EU 37, UK 5, foot length 23.8 cm.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Converting directly from men's US to women's US by adding 2 rather than 1.5 -- the standard offset is 1.5 sizes (e.g. men's 8 = women's 9.5), not 2.
- Assuming EU sizes differ by gender -- EU shoe sizes are gender-neutral and based purely on foot length in Paris points (2/3 cm each), so a EU 38 is the same foot length regardless of gender.
- Relying on a single chart for all brands -- fit varies by brand and last shape; the chart gives a starting point, but half-size differences between brands are common.
Key terms
- US shoe size (women)
- A sizing scale used in the United States and Canada. Women's US sizes run approximately 1.5 increments above the men's scale for the same physical foot length.
- EU shoe size
- European sizing measured in Paris points (⅔ cm). The same EU number is used for both men and women, though the width fittings may differ.
- UK shoe size (women)
- British women's sizing, generally about 2 sizes below the US women's equivalent — a US women's 7 equals a UK 5. The increment is one barleycorn (⅓ inch) per size.
- Paris point
- The unit underlying EU shoe sizing, equal to ⅔ of a centimetre (approximately 6.67 mm). Each step up in EU size adds one Paris point to the inner shoe length.
