International Shoe Size Conversion Guide for Performance Footwear

Performance footwear is sourced globally, which means sizing can vary significantly between brands and regions. This guide gives you the complete US, UK, EU, and centimeter conversion charts, plus step-by-step instructions for measuring your feet accurately so you always order the right size.

How to Measure Your Feet

For the most accurate fit, measure your feet at the end of the day when they are at their largest. You'll need a ruler or tape measure, a piece of paper, and a pen.

Step 1 — Trace your foot

Place a piece of paper on a hard floor. Stand on it with your full weight and trace the outline of your foot with a pen held vertically (not angled). Repeat for both feet — most people have one foot slightly larger than the other.

Step 2 — Measure foot length

Measure from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe (usually the big toe, but not always). Record this measurement in centimeters.

Step 3 — Measure foot width

Measure across the widest part of your foot — typically across the ball of the foot. This helps determine if you need a wide or narrow fit.

Step 4 — Use the larger measurement

Always size based on your larger foot. Use the CM column in the chart above to find your size, then cross-reference with your preferred sizing system (US, UK, or EU).

Fit Tips for Performance Heels

Size up for boots

Boots — especially thigh-high and knee-high styles — often run slightly narrow through the toe box. If you're between sizes, size up. You can always add an insole for a snugger fit.

Consider toe box shape

Pointed toe styles require more length allowance than round or square toe styles. If you normally wear a 7 in a round-toe shoe, you may need a 7.5 in a pointed-toe style.

Account for wide feet

Performance heels are typically cut for a standard width. If you have wide feet, sizing up by half a size often provides enough room across the ball of the foot without sacrificing heel fit.

Break-in allowance

New heels — particularly patent and synthetic styles — will stretch slightly with wear. A snug (not painful) fit at purchase is normal. Avoid ordering a size up to compensate for break-in, as this can cause heel slippage during performance.
