US to EU Size Conversion Guide

Converting between US and EU sizes can be confusing because the systems use different scales. Here's what you need to know:

US to EU Shoe Sizes

EU shoe sizes are typically 1-1.5 sizes larger than US sizes. For example:

  • US Men's 9 = EU 42
  • US Women's 7 = EU 38
  • US Men's 10 = EU 43
  • US Women's 8 = EU 39

US to EU Clothing Sizes

EU clothing uses numeric sizing that differs from US letter sizes:

  • Women's: US XS/S/M/L/XL converts to EU 34/36/38/40/42
  • Men's: US S/M/L/XL converts to EU S/M/L/XL (but measurements differ)
  • Pants: US waist sizes (28, 30, 32) convert to EU sizes (42, 44, 46)

Important: These are approximate conversions. Always check brand-specific size charts when available, as sizing can vary significantly between manufacturers.
