Shoe size chart and converter: US, EU, UK, women's to men's

On HOKA's published chart a US women's 8 is a men's 7, UK 6.5 and EU 40, for a 24.5 cm foot. Brooks converts women's to men's by subtracting 1.5, and brands put the same US size up to two EU sizes apart, so check the brand's own chart below before you order.

Shoe size chart: US, UK, EU, Japan and foot length

This is HOKA's own regular-width chart, copied row for row from its sizing guide. We use it as the reference because it is the one chart among the nurse-shoe brands we cover that prints US women's, US men's, UK, EU, Japan (cm) and measured foot length side by side. Inches are the centimetre figure divided by 2.54.

Read across the two tables and HOKA's rows line up: a women's US size shares its UK, EU and Japan size with the men's size one below it (women's 8 and men's 7 are both UK 6.5, EU 40, Japan 25). HOKA's foot-length rows for those two sizes differ by 2 mm (24.5 and 24.7 cm).

Women's to men's shoe size conversion

There is no single rule. Each brand publishes its own, and they differ by up to a full size:

Brooks: subtract 1.5. Its size chart page says to take the women's size and subtract 1.5 to find the men's, so a women's 8.5 is a men's 7. Brooks also says unisex sizes match men's.
HOKA: one size, by its own rows. Women's US 8 and men's US 7 share UK 6.5 and EU 40 on HOKA's chart above.
Crocs: two sizes. Crocs labels adult sizes as pairs, and its size chart puts a women's 9 with a men's 7.
Skechers and Dansko publish separate women's and men's charts and state no conversion rule.

The converter above shows HOKA's pairing in the main result and each brand's own rule in the brand check, so you can see the spread before you choose a size run.

How nurse-shoe brands run

These are the five shoe brands in our nursing shoes and nursing clogs rankings, each read from the brand's own chart. The same US size lands on different EU numbers, which is why a European size from one brand is not a safe order for another.

HOKA

HOKA's EU sizes come in thirds (40, 40 2/3, 41 1/3) and its chart is built on foot length: HOKA says to measure each foot and round up or down to the closest size within 2 mm. Wide sizes have their own chart on the same sizing page.

Brooks

Brooks recommends ordering its running shoes a half to one size larger than your dress shoe. Its women's chart has no US 6.5 row (it goes from 6 to 7), and its men's chart steps in whole sizes above 13. Brooks publishes no foot-length column.

Skechers

Skechers' chart puts a US women's 8 at EU 38 and UK 5, two EU sizes below HOKA's 40 for the same US size. It states that its Wide Fit equals a women's W or D and a men's 2E/3E, and that performance running and walking shoe sizes may vary.

Dansko (clogs)

Dansko sizes in whole EU sizes only, and its size chart gives each EU size a pair of US sizes, a half and the whole above it: women's 8.5 and 9 are both EU 39, men's 7.5 and 8 are both EU 41. That is the half-size ambiguity: there is no EU 38.5 to fall back on. Dansko's own fit check for closed-back clogs settles it: fit may be slightly snug stepping in, your toes should not touch the front, and your heel should move up and down freely as you walk. Its FAQ adds a pinky's width of space between your heel and the back lining, and offers free exchanges on full-priced footwear bought from Dansko for anyone between sizes. Most styles are made in medium width, with narrow and wide in some.

Crocs (clogs)

Crocs sells whole sizes, labels them as a women's and men's pair two apart (W9 / M7), and gives each an EU range such as 39-40. Its size chart says to round up if you are between sizes and to order your normal size for wide feet; its size help page says Crocs does not carry wide sizes.

How to measure your foot for shoe size

Place your foot on a sheet of paper and trace it, staying as close as you can to your heel and toes. Do both feet (Crocs' and HOKA's instructions).
Measure in a straight line from the middle of the heel to the longest toe (HOKA). Crocs calls this your heel-to-toe length.
If one foot is longer, use the longer measurement (HOKA).
Choose “My foot length” in the converter and enter it. HOKA matches it to the closest size within 2 mm.

Foot length picks a size on HOKA's chart only. Brooks, Skechers and Dansko publish no foot-length column, so for those brands the converter goes through the US size.

Buying compression socks too? They size by calf as well as shoe size; the compression sock size finder reads your calf against six brands' charts.

How this converter works

Pick a US, UK, EU or Japan size and the converter finds that row on HOKA's women's and men's charts. Nothing is interpolated: if a size is not on HOKA's chart, it says so.
Enter a foot length and it picks the HOKA row whose foot length is closest (ties go to the larger size), and says so if your length is more than about 2 mm outside the chart.
The brand check takes the US size from that row and looks it up on each brand's own chart. Women's-to-men's uses each brand's own rule or chart, and shows “Not stated” where a brand publishes none.
Every number is copied from the charts listed under Sources, all read on October 26, 2026. Brands revise charts; if one disagrees with a brand's current page, the brand's page wins.

A chart cannot see width, arch or how a last is shaped. We do not wear-test shoes; this page reports what each brand publishes.

Shoe size conversion FAQ

How do I convert a women's shoe size to men's?

Brooks publishes the common rule: subtract 1.5 from the women's size, so a women's 8.5 is a men's 7. Not every brand agrees. HOKA's chart gives a women's 8 and a men's 7 the same UK and EU size (one size apart), and Crocs' chart puts them two apart (a W9 is an M7). Use the rule of the brand you are buying.

What is a US size 8 in EU?

It depends on the brand. A US women's 8 is EU 40 on HOKA's chart, EU 39 on Brooks' and EU 38 on Skechers' and Dansko's. A US men's 8 is EU 41 1/3 on HOKA's chart and EU 41 on Brooks', Skechers' and Dansko's.

What size Dansko should I get if I wear a half size?

Dansko makes whole EU sizes only, and its chart puts each US half size in with the next whole size up: a US women's 8.5 and 9 are both EU 39. Dansko's fit check is that your toes should not touch the front and your heel should move up and down freely as you walk.

How do I measure my foot for shoe size?

HOKA's steps: trace each foot on paper, measure in a straight line from the middle of the heel to the longest toe, and use the longer foot. HOKA then matches that length to the closest size within 2 mm.

Is a UK shoe size the same as a US size?

No. On HOKA's chart a UK size is 1.5 below the US women's size and 0.5 below the US men's. Brooks puts UK 2 below women's and 1 below men's, Skechers 3 below women's, and Crocs 2 below women's and 1 below men's.

Is a Japan or Mondopoint size my foot length?

Not on HOKA's chart. Its Japan (cm) column is a shoe size: a US women's 8 reads 25 while HOKA's foot length for that size is 24.5 cm. If you measured your foot, enter the measurement as a foot length instead.
