Frequently asked questions
How do US Men's and Women's sizes relate?
On the standard athletic scale, women's runs 1.5 sizes higher for the same foot: a men's 10 equals a women's 11.5. This holds for Nike and Jordan; a few brands use a 1.0 offset, so check when it's close.
What are GS sizes and why do resellers care?
GS (grade school) is youth sizing, topping out at 7Y. A GS pair fits the same as the women's size 1.5 higher (7Y ≈ W8.5), is built on a similar last, and usually retails cheaper — so smaller-footed buyers can often get a hyped colorway in GS for less, which also shapes resale pricing across the size run.
Why did my usual size not fit in a different brand?
Brands cut different lasts and even use different scales — Adidas UK sizing famously sits a half-size off Nike's. Width, toe box shape, and materials matter too. When buying a brand blind, match the CM (foot length) figure rather than the US number.
Is CM the same as Japanese sizing?
Effectively yes — JP sizes are the foot length in centimeters, which is why CM is the cleanest cross-brand reference. Measure your foot heel to longest toe and compare directly.
About this tool
The shoe size converter translates between US Men's, US Women's, UK, EU, and CM/JP sizing on the standard athletic (Nike-scale) chart, with the full table visible so you can sanity-check neighbors. It also surfaces the detail resellers and smart buyers exploit: GS (grade-school) equivalents. Men's sizes up to 7 overlap the youth range — a GS pair runs the same last as the women's size 1.5 higher and typically retails for less, which matters when a hyped release drops in both. The chart notes where brands deviate: Adidas UK sizing runs a half-size off Nike's, and New Balance, boots, and dress shoes each cut their own lasts, so CM (foot length) is the most brand-neutral reference when buying blind.
