US sizes run larger in number: add 2.5 to a women's UK size and 1 to a men's UK size.

How to Measure Your Foot

Stand on a sheet of paper against a wall, heel touching the wall, wearing the socks you usually wear with the shoes.
Mark the tip of your longest toe with a pencil held straight up.
Measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres. Measure both feet and use the longer one.
Find the length in the table, then check the size chart on the product page, because lasts vary between styles.

Tips for Buying Shoes Online

Measure in the evening: feet swell slightly during the day.
Boots worn with thick socks need a little more room than trainers.
If you are between two lengths, compare with a pair you already own and know fits well.
On our product pages, EU sizes are shown with the UK equivalent, for example EU 41 (UK 7).
