US & Canada: Sizes are calculated using the length of the foot in inches, with half-size increments (e.g., 7, 7.5, 8). For women's shoes, US sizes are typically 1.5-2 sizes smaller than men's for the same foot length.
Europe (EU): Uses the "Paris Point" system, where 1 EU size equals 2/3 of a centimeter. Sizes are unisex (e.g., EU 38, 39, 40) and focus on total foot length.
UK: Similar to the US system but starts at a smaller base. UK sizes are usually 1 size smaller than US men's sizes and 2 sizes smaller than US women's sizes.
Asia (Japan/China): Relies on millimeters (mm) to measure foot length directly. For example, a foot measuring 250mm corresponds to JP 25 or CN 25.
Even within these systems, brands may have slight variations-especially for styles like narrow heels or wide sneakers. That's why measuring your foot and using conversion tools is non-negotiable.
