Common UK and EU shoe size answers
These examples come from the category-specific tables below. The same EU label can map to different UK sizes for men and women.
- EU 39 in UK size: approximately UK 5.5 for men or UK 6 for women.
- EU 38 in UK size: approximately UK 4.5 for men or UK 5 for women.
- UK 7 in EU size: approximately EU 41 for men or EU 40.5 for women.
- UK 7 in centimetres: about 26 cm for men or 26 cm for women in these general charts.
These are chart equivalents, not a promise of fit. A shoe’s width, shape, materials and the brand’s own sizing may change the best size to order.

How to choose a size when charts differ
- Use the chart for the wearer category printed on the product.
- If you can, measure both feet while standing and use the longer length.
- Compare that length with the product’s official brand and model chart. If it falls between rows, follow the maker’s fit guidance.
To convert another size or direction, use the interactive shoe size converter. The full shoe size chart also includes US and inch equivalents.
