UK

UK shoe sizes are based on the barleycorn system — one barleycorn equals one third of an inch (8.47 mm) — where the size represents last length in barleycorns minus a fixed offset. UK Men's sizes typically run 0.5 to 1 size below the equivalent US Men's size for the same foot (UK 9 ≈ US 9.5). UK Women's sizes run approximately 2.5 sizes below US Women's. The system predates metric standardisation and remains in official use in the United Kingdom alongside EU sizing on product labels.

European (EU)

The European shoe sizing system is based on the Paris Point — a unit equal to two-thirds of a centimetre (6.67 mm). EU sizes are calculated from the last length (the internal shoe length) in Paris Points, typically ranging from 35 to 48 for adults. Unlike US and UK systems, EU sizing uses a single scale for both men and women, eliminating gender-offset confusion. A foot measuring 26 cm corresponds to approximately EU 40, though variation between manufacturers can shift the fit by half a size.
