European Shoe Size Conversion Charts

In Europe, shoe makers are mostly following the same shoe-size system. Simultaneously, however, the local taste and ergonomics by country result in different size indications. For instance, a size 37 in France might be a 38 in Germany. Because of all the different countries in Europe, there is no real standard in the shoe sizes.
As a result, many manufacturers’ shoes might have different sizes, although they have the same measurements.

Understanding Shoe Sizing

As you could tell in the above sizing charts and shoe size converters you and your son could have the same size indication but obviously your feet aren’t the same size.
In the US shoe sizes, Men and women can wear a size 8, but the man’s size 8 will be almost a full inch longer than the woman’s. In European sizes, you don’t have this problem at all. The man with size 8 is a 41, the lady with size 8 is a 38.5.
There’s lots of variation in shoe width, and many countries and regions don’t specify the width in shoe sizes. It’s good to know that when a model is feeling narrow in a certain size, going up a size or half a size won’t solve it. A narrow shoe mainly remains a narrow shoe.
The basis of it all is measuring your feet, so a piece of paper, a pencil, some measuring tape, and the right size chart can help you get the perfect fit.

Shoe Sizing Basic rules

Shoe Length

Your numerical shoe size, whether you are buying Brazilian, Italian shoes, or American shoes, is based on the length of your feet. The length of your feet is the distance from your heel to your longest toe.
It does not account for shape variations or width.

Shoe Width

Most shoes on the market only come in standard widths; many are available in wider or narrower styles. Knowing your foot’s width and how it translates into shoe sizes makes the difference between a bad fit and a comfortable fit.
Around 70 percent of all people are walking daily with shoes that aren’t wide enough.
Shoe width is measured around the forefoot, typically the widest part of your foot. Not all shoe brands offer different widths, though. Finding shoes that are wider or narrower than average can be challenging.

In the US, shoe widths are AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, E, EE, and EEE, ranging from narrowest to widest. Sometimes, the letters are replaced by a combination of letters and numbers, such as “4E.”
Children’s shoes usually do not come in varying widths. One width for girls’ and boys’ shoes.

International Shoe Size Systems

In The US, women’s shoes come in whole and half sizes that range from 5 through 12. Men’s shoes have whole and half sizes from 5 through 16. That’s only valid in the United States, there are at least 10 other shoe sizing systems in the world. For instance, a woman who wears a size 9 in the United States will wear a size 7 in the UK, a size 39/40 in Europe, and a size 24.5 in Japan.
