Men's US to India shoe size chart (with half sizes)
Indian and UK men's sizes are identical. US runs one size larger. Half-size rows show "—" for EU because EU half-size labels differ brand to brand — match half sizes by foot cm.
EU sizes can vary ±0.5 by brand. Always prioritize foot length in cm.
| US | UK / Indian | EU | Foot length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 5 | 39 | 23 |
| 7 | 6 | 40 | 24 |
| 7.5 | 6.5 | — | 24.5 |
| 8 | 7 | 41 | 25 |
| 8.5 | 7.5 | — | 25.5 |
| 9 | 8 | 42 | 26 |
| 9.5 | 8.5 | — | 26.5 |
| 10 | 9 | 43 | 27 |
| 10.5 | 9.5 | — | 27.5 |
| 11 | 10 | 44 | 28 |
| 11.5 | 10.5 | — | 28.5 |
| 12 | 11 | 45 | 29 |

| 13 | 12 | 46 | 30 |
| 14 | 13 | 47 | 31 |

Women's US to India shoe size chart (with half sizes)
US women's shoes run about two sizes larger than UK/India (US 8 = UK 6). Some Indian retailers print the EU number instead — when labels disagree, trust foot length in cm.
EU sizes can vary ±0.5 by brand. Always prioritize foot length in cm.
| US | UK / Indian | EU | Foot length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 2 | 35 | 21 |
| 5 | 3 | 36 | 22 |
| 6 | 4 | 37 | 23 |

US shoe widths (D, 2E, 4E) explained
US-imported shoes carry a width letter Indian retail never shows. Each width step adds roughly 5 mm across the ball of the foot at the same length. If standard shoes pinch across the toes but your toes don't touch the front, you need a wider fitting — not a longer shoe.
| Men's width | Meaning | In India |
|---|---|---|
| B | Narrow | Not sold in Indian retail |
| D | Standard / Medium | The width Indian shops sell |
| 2E (EE) | Wide | Rare in India — import advantage |
| 4E (EEEE) | Extra wide | Not sold in Indian retail |
| Women's width | Meaning | In India |
|---|---|---|
| 2A (AA) | Narrow | Not sold in Indian retail |
| B | Standard / Medium | The width Indian shops sell |
| D | Wide | Rare in India |
| 2E | Extra wide | Not sold in Indian retail |
Does sizing change by shoe category?
The general size chart above is the starting point — but how a shoe is actually worn shifts the right call by category.
| Category | What changes | Advice |
|---|---|---|
| Running / walking | Feet swell 3–8% over long runs; you also want a thumb's width of toe room | Size up ½–1 from your measured US size; consider a wider fitting if you use thick socks |
| Casual / sneakers | Worn for shorter periods, less swelling to plan for | Your measured US size — closest to true to size of any category |
| Boots / dress shoes | Leather lasts often run narrower through the midfoot than sneaker lasts | True to size, but check the brand's width note — leather stretches over 2–3 weeks (see below) |
| Sandals / slip-ons | No lace-up to snug the fit — a size too big will slip at the heel | True to size or ½ down; avoid sizing up here |
How US shoe brands fit
Same size number, different fit — every brand cuts to its own last. Compiled from the brands' own charts and "runs small / runs large" review consensus; check recent reviews for the specific model.
| Brand | Fit note | What to order |
|---|---|---|
NikeRuns small | Runs about ½ size small and narrow, especially runners | Size up ½ from your measured US size |
AdidasTrue to size | Generally true to size; some styles run long with a narrow toe box | Your measured US size |
New BalanceTrue to size | True to size; widest width range (B–4E) of any brand | Your measured US size — pick width deliberately |
Converse (Chuck Taylor)Runs large | Runs ½–1 size large | Size down ½ |
VansTrue to size | True to size | Your measured US size |
SkechersRuns large | Slightly roomy; wide options common | True to size, or ½ down for a snug fit |
CrocsRuns large | Roomy, whole sizes only | Size down if between sizes |
PumaRuns small | Runs narrow and snug, especially lifestyle silhouettes; sport performance fits closer to true size | Size up ½ if between sizes or you have a wider foot |
ReebokTrue to size | Generally true to size with a slightly wider toe box than Nike; Classic Leather runs slightly long | Your measured US size; Classic Leather: consider ½ down |
ASICSTrue to size | True to size with a roomy toe box; Gel-Kayano / Nimbus run a touch wide — great for broad feet | Your measured US size; wide fittings available (2E) for most models |
BrooksTrue to size | True to size; Ghost and Adrenaline run slightly wide — favourite for runners who've sized up in Nike | Your measured US size; size up ½ if you use thick insoles |
HOKATrue to size | Generally true to size with a roomy midfoot; Bondi/Clifton run true, some narrow-footed buyers go ½ down | Your measured US size; ½ down only if you have narrow feet |
On (On Running / On Cloud)Runs small | Older Cloud models commonly run small; recent lines (Cloudmonster, Cloudsurfer) are closer to true to size | Size up ½ for Cloud/Cloudflow; true to size for newer wide-fit models |
SauconyTrue to size | True to size with a roomy toe box, similar fit family to Brooks/ASICS | Your measured US size |
AltraRuns wide | Zero-drop with a foot-shaped (wide) toe box by design — true to length but noticeably wider than standard | Your measured US size; if you have narrow feet, try ½ down |
Under ArmourTrue to size | Athletic fits compress intentionally; Loose / UA Unstoppable cuts run a full size large | Fitted/Compression: your size or down; Loose: size down |
Kids' US to India shoe sizes
Baby and toddler shoes are unisex; India follows the UK system for kids too. At 18-24 months US and India coincide at size 7 — everywhere else, measure the foot in cm.

Sources & standards
Conversions use the same verified data as our main size guide: the British barleycorn scale India inherited (UK = India for men's), cross-checked in 2026 against the Brannock Device standard, Clarks' published mm chart, Nike and Bata India size charts, and Foot Locker's US charts. Where a brand's own chart disagrees, trust the brand chart.
