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 KR and JP Sizing
Korean (KR) shoe sizes are expressed in millimetres of foot length — so a KR 270 means a foot length of 270 mm (27 cm). This system is used across South Korea and is straightforward once you know your foot length. Korean clothing sizes use a mix of S/M/L labels and numbered chest or waist measurements.
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.
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.
