Shoe Sizes UK/USA/France

Friday 04 November 2016

A quick conversion guide of shoe sizes from the UK and USA to France for men and women.

Converting shoes or clothes sizes is not a precise science. As we all know from the fittings we have carried out in shops, a size made by one manufacturer may well differ substantially from another, and the style of the shoe will also affect the fitting.

In addition, there is no exact match between French sizes and those from the UK or USA.

Accordingly, the following chart should only be used as a close approximation.
