Buying trainers online from a US or UK site while you only know your Indian shop size?
About this calculator
Buying trainers online from a US or UK site while you only know your Indian shop size? This calculator converts shoe sizes between US, UK, EU, and raw foot length in centimetres.
Pick the system you know, enter your size, and read the equivalent US, UK, EU labels plus foot length in cm. Conversion runs through a centimetre anchor — the same method most brand size charts use internally.
Example: US men's 9 maps to about 25.8 cm foot length, UK 8, and EU 41. Measure your foot standing on paper if you are between sizes — width and brand shape still matter.
Sizes are approximate. Try the [[conversion]] calculator for other length units, the [[height]] calculator for full body proportions, and the [[tip]] calculator when splitting a shoe-shopping bill with friends.

Frequently asked questions
What is US size 9 in UK and EU?
Select US, enter 9. Typical output is about UK 8, EU 41, and 25.8 cm foot length. Brand charts vary by a half size — try both your result and the next half size if ordering online.
How do I measure foot length in cm?
Stand on paper with heel against a wall, mark the longest toe, and measure in centimetres. Measure both feet and use the larger value. Enter that number with system set to Foot length (cm).

Why does my shop size not match the calculator?
Athletic brands, dress shoes, and Indian local labels use slightly different lasts. The calculator gives a starting point from standard length tables — fit still depends on width and model shape.
Does EU size work for Indian online stores?
Many Indian e-commerce listings show EU alongside UK. Convert your known UK or US size here, then compare to the seller
