What Size Shoe Do I Wear?

When it comes to shopping for shoes, figuring out what size you are can be tough. No matter your shoe style, the first step is to determine your European size. Then you can use this simple guide-

Women's sizes: (American equivalent)

- 36 = 5.5 or 6

- 37 = 6 or 6.5

- 38 = 7 or 7.5

- 39 = 8 or 8.5

- 40 = 9 or 9.5

- 41 = 10 or 10.5

- 42 = 11 or 11.5

- 43 = 12 or 12.5

Men's sizes:

7 to 8E = 7.00 (US) / 6E (UK / Europe) / 44 (Australia)

8 to 9D = 8.00 (US) / 7D (UK / Europe) / 45 (Australia) Sometimes buying a new pair of shoes can be a daunting task. Not only is it important to ensure they fit well and look good, but you’ll also want to make sure that your shoe size is the right one for you. But how do you know what size shoe is right for you?

We'll break down the key elements of different types of shoes, classified according to their widths, and provide tips that will help make sure your feet don't swell up or turn green.

How To Choose Your Shoes

To find the right shoe size, measure your feet and fit the following criteria into consideration:

The length of your foot. A general rule is that the length of your foot should be slightly over twice the width of your shoe. For example, if you’re wearing a 9.5 or 10-inch shoe, you should measure your foot at least 11 inches long. Be sure to keep in mind that this is just a general guide; there are always exceptions! For example, sometimes people have very narrow feet and need to wear smaller shoes to avoid discomfort.

Your arch length. Your arch is the curve of your foot when you walk and run. Holes in the sole can develop if your shoe does not fit your arch properly, and may lead to other foot problems because you are putting excess weight on those spots in your shoe.

The width of the shoe. When you’re trying on a pair of men’s or women’s dress shoes, you should always try on shoes that are one full size bigger than what you would normally wear to ensure that they fit properly. If a shoe doesn’t feel right when you try them on, don’t buy them!

Your heel shape. Because your shoes should fit your foot, it’s important to buy shoes that fit correctly. To find the best size, first determine the width of your foot and then measure the length of your heel. Do this by placing one foot on a piece of paper and squatting down (make sure you have a friend to help you with this step!). Next, fold down the paper so that it forms a triangle with one of the points forming at the heel. Measure how far you can fold out the triangle until you reach the back part of your heel.
