26.5cm

That's 1.08× as big as an average women’s foot, while an average men’s foot is 1.02× bigger. That fits a foot about 26.5 cm long.

What it means

How long is that foot?

Sizing is a convention, not a standard: brands differ by half a size or more. Measure your foot in centimeters and treat these as a starting point.

The math

How to convert EU to cm

Each system counts differently: EU = (foot cm + 1.5) × 1.5, and US men = foot inches × 3 − 22. UK is one size below US for men, two for women.

Example: 42 EU = 26.5 cm.

The table below uses Men’s. Switch above and the US and UK columns shift.
