International Shoe Size Chart Notes
- The Mondopoint system is the same as measuring the foot (not the shoe) in Millimetres (or Millimetres, mm.). However, some companies treat Mondopoint as Centimetres (Centimetres, cm.). So a shoe may be labelled either 240 (mm) or 24 (cm) if it is designed for a foot that is 240 millimetres long (including some wiggle room for socks). You may see mondopoint sizes with two numbers separated by a slash, e.g. 240/95. The second number is the width of the foot in millimetres.
- American Women's shoe sizes are the same as American Men's shoe sizes plus 1½.
- Canadian shoe sizes are equivalent (identical) to American shoe sizes for both Adult and Children's, Men and Women.
- Mexican shoe sizes plus 1½ are the same as American Men's shoe sizes.
- British shoe sizes plus 1 are the same as American Men's shoe sizes.
- Japanese shoes sizes are American Men's shoes sizes plus 18.
- Europe uses a system that came from the French called Paris Points (aka Parisien Prick). One Paris Point equals two-thirds of a centimetre. The system starts at zero centimetres and increases. There are no half sizes. American size 0 is the same as 15 Paris Points.
- 1 Centimetre (Centimetre) is 10 Millimetres (Millimetres).
- 1 Inch is 2.54 Centimetres (Centimetres).
- Length in Inches = 71/3 + (US Men's shoe size)*1/3
- Paris Points = 311/3 + (UK shoe size)*4/3.
- A Chinese 7 is a UK 4.
- Australia and New Zealand use the same shoe sizes as the United Kingdom for boys, men and girls.
- Korea measures shoe sizes in millimetres (mm.).
- Turkey uses European shoe sizes.
- There are two scales used in the U.S. The standard (or "FIA") scale and the common scales. The "common" scale is more widely used. The scales are about ½ size different.
