How to measure yourself
Sizes vary by brand — your body doesn't. Measure once, then match your numbers to any chart for a confident fit.
Measuring your body
Use a soft tape measure and record every number in inches.
Bust
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, parallel to the floor, snug but not tight.
Waist
Measure the narrowest part of your torso — about an inch above your navel.
Hips
Stand with feet together; measure the widest part, ~7–9 in below your waist.
Complete size charts
Every conversion in one place. Switch tabs for clothing or shoes — and when a brand shows its own chart on the product page, trust that first.

What is 10 UK shoe size in India?
UK 10 = Indian 10 for men's shoes — Indian and UK men's sizing are identical. The same shoe is US 11, EU 44, foot length ~29 cm.
What is 12 UK shoe size in India?
UK 12 = Indian 12 for men's shoes. Equivalent to US 13, EU 46, foot length ~31 cm. Sizes above UK 12 are stocked by fewer Indian brands — US-imported brands like Nike, Adidas and New Balance carry through UK 14 / IN 14 / US 15.

25 cm foot length ≈ Indian men's size 7 (UK 7 / US 8 / EU 41). For women, 25 cm ≈ Indian / UK 5–6, US 7–8, EU 38. Measure heel-to-longest-toe while standing.

EU 40 men's = Indian shoe size 6 (UK 6 / US 7), foot length ~25 cm. EU 40 women's = Indian shoe size 10 (UK 8 / US 10), foot length ~26 cm. Same EU label, different fit depending on gender lasts.

What is 38 Indian size in US?
For women's clothing, Indian 38 = US 6 (UK 8 / EU 36) — small-medium fit. For women's shoes, Indian 38 ≈ US 7-8 (UK 5-6 / EU 38), foot length ~24 cm.
Why did US and India shoe sizes diverge?
India's shoe sizing follows the British "barleycorn" system dating to King Edward II in 1324: each whole size adds one barleycorn (~8.5 mm / one-third inch), starting from a 4-inch infant foot. India kept the British scale after independence, which is why UK 8 = India 8 still holds. The US scale split off in the late 1880s when American shoemakers labelled shoes larger to give shoppers more room — over a few decades this drifted to a full-size offset for men and a two-size offset for women, so US men's 9 = UK 8 = India 8 and US women's 9 = UK 7 = India 7. EU's "Paris Point" arrived around the same time with 2/3 cm per whole size and no gender split, which is why EU 42 = 267 mm of last length regardless of audience. Practical rule: the US box number equals your UK/India number plus 1 for men, plus 2 for women.
