How to Measure Your Shoes Size
Stand on a piece of paper with your heel against a wall. Mark the tip of your longest toe, then measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimetres. Measure both feet — most people have one foot slightly larger — and use the longer measurement. Measure at the end of the day when feet are at their largest. This length maps directly to JP sizes and can be converted to any other system with our chart.
Understanding JP and UK Sizing
Japanese (JP) sizes are based on centimetre measurements. For footwear, the JP size equals the foot length in centimetres, making it one of the most intuitive sizing systems in the world. For clothing, JP sizes tend to run smaller than Western equivalents because they are cut to Japanese body proportions. Always measure in centimetres when shopping with JP sizing.
UK sizes use the British sizing system, which is closely related to US sizing but offset by roughly half a size for footwear and one or two sizes for clothing. UK sizing is used throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland, and many Commonwealth countries. Historically rooted in the barleycorn system (each size = 8.47 mm), UK shoe sizes still follow that progression today.
Tips for Converting Women's Shoes Sizes
Sizes vary between brands — a US 10 in Nike may fit differently than a US 10 in Adidas. Always check the brand's own chart when buying online.
If you are between sizes, size up for athletic shoes (you need room for swelling during exercise) and consider sizing down for formal shoes (leather stretches over time).
Width matters as much as length. Some brands offer wide (W) and narrow (N) options. If standard-width shoes feel tight across the ball of your foot, try a wide version rather than going up a full size.
