US to UK to EU Sizing Conversion: A Quick Guide
When shopping for clothing or shoes, understanding size conversions can save you from ordering the wrong fit.
The majority of safety footwear brands in Australia sell in UK sizing. As such all footwear unless market "US Sizing" will be supplied in UK sizing.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how US, UK, and EU sizes compare to hopefully make your selection easier.
US vs. UK Sizing
For most footwear, US sizes are typically one size larger than UK sizes. For example:
- A US Men’s 10 is roughly a UK Men’s 9
- A US Women’s 8 is about a UK Women’s 7
US/UK to EU Sizing
EU sizes follow a different system, usually increasing in increments of two-thirds of a size. Here’s how some common conversions look:
- US Men’s 10 → UK 9 → EU 44
- US Women’s 8 → UK 7 → EU 38
Pro Tips for Footwear Sizing
✔️ Always check brand-specific size charts—some brands vary slightly.
✔️ Consider foot width, as sizing may differ for narrow or wide-fit options.
✔️ When in doubt, measure your foot length in centimeters and compare with official sizing guides.
