Shoe Size Chart UK EU for Women: Measure Your Size at Home

To find your shoe size at home, measure the length of your foot in centimetres from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe, then match that number to a shoe size chart. On the women's shoe size chart UK EU conversion below, a foot length of 24 cm corresponds to UK 6 and EU 38, for example. It takes about five minutes, and it is the simplest way to order shoes online with confidence.

What you will need

• A sheet of A4 paper, larger than your foot
• A pen or pencil
• A ruler or measuring tape marked in centimetres
• A wall or a door frame
• The socks or tights you usually wear with the shoes, if any

How to measure your foot, step by step

1. Measure later in the day. Feet often swell slightly as the day goes on, so an afternoon or evening measurement gives a more realistic result.
2. Place the paper against a wall. Put it on a hard, flat floor with the short edge touching the wall.
3. Stand on the paper. Place your heel against the wall and stand with your weight evenly on both feet.
4. Mark the longest toe. Ask someone to mark the tip of your longest toe, or carefully do it yourself while keeping the pen straight. Your longest toe is not always your big toe.
5. Measure the distance. Use the ruler to measure from the edge of the paper to your mark, in centimetres.
6. Repeat with the other foot. It is common for one foot to be slightly longer. Always use the larger measurement.

What to do if you are between sizes

If your measurement falls between two sizes, consider the style of shoe before you decide.

Closed shoes and heels

For closed-toe shoes, pointed slingbacks and heels, the larger size is usually the safer choice, as there is less room for your toes to move.

Open sandals, flats and sliders

Open styles are generally more forgiving. Many people are comfortable in their nearer size in sandals, flats and sliders, as long as the heel does not hang over the back of the sole.

Wide or narrow feet

Length is only part of the picture, and the shape of the shoe matters too. If your feet are wider than average, styles with adjustable straps or an open toe can feel easier. If you would like advice on a particular style, our team is happy to help through our contact page or on WhatsApp.

Common measuring mistakes to avoid

• Measuring while sitting. Your foot spreads when you stand, so always measure standing up.
• Relying on an old size. Feet can change over time, so it is worth measuring again every so often.
• Measuring only one foot. Always measure both and go with the longer one.
• Rounding down. If your measurement sits just above a size, for example 24.2 cm, look at the next size up rather than squeezing into the smaller one.
• Tilting the pen. Hold the pen upright so the mark sits exactly at the tip of your toe.

Ordering online with confidence

Once you know your size, you can shop the full shoes collection, from office heels to everyday sliders. If a pair does not fit as expected, size exchanges are available on unused shoes returned in their original box with tags. You will find the details on our exchange and returns page.

How to check the fit when your shoes arrive

Try new shoes on indoors, on a clean floor, so they stay in exchangeable condition. Wear them later in the day, stand up and walk around for a few minutes. Your heel should feel secure, your toes should lie flat without pressing against the front, and straps should hold your foot without digging in. If something does not feel right, keep the shoes unused, with the box and tags, and get in touch with our team about an exchange.

FAQs

What is UK size 6 in EU sizes?

UK 6 is EU 38, which corresponds to a foot length of about 24 cm on our chart.

Should I measure my feet in the morning or evening?

Later in the day is usually better, as feet tend to swell slightly after you have been walking and standing.

What if one foot is bigger than the other?

Choose your size based on the longer foot. A slightly roomy shoe on one side is easier to live with than a tight one.
