Shoe & Clothing Size Converter
International size charts never agree. A men’s US 10 shoe is a UK 9.5, an EU 44, and a 28-centimeter footprint in Japan. A women’s US 6 top might map to a 34 in the EU, a 10 in the UK, and a small letter-sized S everywhere else. Rather than guessing, this converter uses the published ISO and industry lookup tables so you pick a category, select the size you already know, and see the equivalents across every major region instantly.
How to Use
- Pick a category — men’s, women’s, or kids’ shoes; men’s or women’s tops; men’s or women’s pants by waist; or women’s bras (band or cup).
- Choose the sizing system you’re familiar with (US, UK, EU, JP/CM, CN, or letter).
- Select the size you normally wear from the dropdown — only valid sizes for the chosen category appear.
- Read the instant breakdown. Your equivalent sizes appear at the top, and the full reference table highlights your row for context.
Features
- Eight categories – men’s/women’s/kids’ shoes, men’s/women’s tops, men’s/women’s pants, women’s bra bands and cups.
- Five sizing systems – US, UK, EU, JP/CM, CN, plus universal letter sizes for tops.
- Half sizes supported – 6.5, 8.5, 10.5 on shoes map exactly to their regional equivalents.
- Body-measurement columns – chest, bust, waist, and underbust in both inches and centimeters, so you can double-check against a tape measure.
- Highlighted row – your chosen size lights up in the reference table so neighboring sizes are one glance away.
- 100% client-side – nothing leaves your browser; works offline after first load.
When to Use It
- Shopping international sites where only the local sizing system is listed.
- Reselling vintage or second-hand clothing tagged in a different region’s numbering.
- Checking a relative’s size abroad before ordering a gift.
- Translating brand size charts that use letter (S/M/L) sizing back to the numeric size you actually know.
FAQ
-
Why do shoe sizes differ between regions?
Each region standardized its own system at different points in history. US and UK sizes originally used barleycorn units from 14th-century England (a third of an inch per size), but diverged when the US added half sizes and shifted its scale. EU (Paris Point) measures in 2/3-centimeter increments, while Japan and most of Asia use direct foot length in centimeters (the Mondopoint system). Because the underlying unit is different, no single conversion formula works — the correspondence is a lookup table.
-
Why is a US women's shoe size different from the same men's size?
In the US and UK, women's sizes are offset from men's by about 1.5 — a men's 8 and a women's 9.5 have roughly the same foot length. Europe, Japan, and China use a unisex numeric scale where the number reflects actual foot measurement, so the same foot gets the same number regardless of gender.
-
How is bra cup size actually determined?
Cup size is the difference between bust circumference (fullest point) and band size (underbust). Each inch of difference equals one cup step: 1″ is an A, 2″ is a B, 3″ is a C, and so on. US and UK cup letters stay in sync through D, but diverge at DD/E because the US adds doubled letters (DD, DDD) where the UK increments single letters (DD, E, F).
-
Are letter sizes like S/M/L standardized?
No. Letter sizes are brand-specific and vary by up to two numeric sizes between manufacturers. The letter columns in this converter reflect the most common industry groupings (e.g., women's M ≈ US 8–10), but always check the individual brand's size chart — especially for outerwear, activewear, and high-fashion labels where letter sizing drifts the most.
