Sizes are approximate.Brands vary — a US 9 in one label can fit like a US 9.5 in another. For shoes, the reliable anchor is foot length: stand on paper, mark heel to longest toe, measure in cm, and match the "Foot (cm)" column.
Measure late in the day (feet swell), measure both feet, and size to the larger one.
Choose what you're sizing: men's, women's or kids' shoes, or men's or women's clothing.
Select the region whose size you already know (e.g. US) under "Convert from".
Pick your size from the dropdown. The result cards show that size in every region, and the matching row is highlighted in the full chart.
For shoes, cross-check against the foot-length (cm) column — it's the most reliable way to size across brands.
Buying shoes or clothes from an overseas brand means facing a wall of unfamiliar size numbers — a US 9, a UK 8.5, a EU 42 — that all claim to fit the same foot. This converter lines them up. Pick what you're sizing (men's, women's or kids' shoes, or men's or women's clothing), tell it the size and region you already know, and it shows the equivalent across US, UK, EU and India at once, with the full size chart underneath.
For shoes, the honest anchor isn't the label at all — it's foot length. Brands round differently, so a "US 9" in one label can fit like a 9.5 in another, but a 27 cm foot is a 27 cm foot. That's why every shoe chart here includes a foot-length column in centimetres: measure once, and you can shop any brand in any country with confidence. For clothing, the tables map the international S/M/L scale to each region's numeric sizing and to body measurements like chest, so you can translate a size on a label into something meaningful.
Because apparel sizing genuinely varies between manufacturers, these charts give you the standard, best-fit conversion rather than a false promise of perfection — and the guidance below explains how to measure your foot and read a size chart so you order the right size the first time and avoid a return. It's the reference to keep open in another tab while you shop internationally.
Buying shoes from a US, UK or European brand when you only know your local size.

Translating a clothing size on an international label into your usual size.
Using foot length in centimetres to size shoes accurately across different brands.
Measure your foot in the evening — feet swell during the day, and a shoe that fits at 9 a.m. can feel tight by night.
Measure both feet and size to the larger one; most people have a slight difference between left and right.
When a size falls between two, size up for shoes — you can adjust with insoles or lacing, but you can't add room to a too-small shoe.
Trusting the number on the label instead of the fit. A US 9 varies between brands; foot length in cm is the dependable measure.
Assuming clothing sizes convert as precisely as shoes. Apparel sizing varies widely between manufacturers, so treat clothing charts as a strong starting point and check each brand's own size guide.
