The world of footwear can be a complex labyrinth, especially when attempting to navigate the intricacies of different sizing systems. American and European shoe sizes present a particular challenge, with distinct numeric scales that can leave you bewildered when shopping across borders. This comprehensive guide will provide you with a thorough understanding of the conversion process, empowering you to make informed decisions when purchasing shoes from either side of the Atlantic.
American Shoe Sizing:
* Denotes the length of the foot in inches
* Starts from size 4 for women and size 7 for men
* Increments in half-sizes
European Shoe Sizing:
* Primarily based on the Brannock Device measurement in centimeters
* Starts from size 20 for women and size 39 for men
* Increments in full sizes
For Women:
1. Measure your foot length in inches.
2. Subtract 0.5 inches from the measurement (e.g., 8 inches becomes 7.5 inches).
3. Multiply the result by 2.54 to convert to centimeters (e.g., 7.5 inches x 2.54 = 19.05 cm).
4. Round down to the nearest whole number to get your European shoe size (e.g., 19 cm = size 39).
For Men:
1. Measure your foot length in inches.
2. Subtract 1 inch from the measurement (e.g., 10 inches becomes 9 inches).
3. Multiply the result by 2.54 to convert to centimeters (e.g., 9 inches x 2.54 = 22.86 cm).
4. Round down to the nearest whole number to get your European shoe size (e.g., 22 cm = size 44).
