43US

That's 1.67× as big as a basketball player’s foot — nothing on our list beats it. That fits a foot about 55.03 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 UK to US

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 UK = 43 US.

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