Size guide
Shoe size chart: UK, EU, US and centimetres
India uses UK sizing, so the UK column is the number you will hear quoted in the shop. The centimetre column is the one to trust — it is the only measurement that means the same thing across every brand.
How to measure your foot at home
Five minutes with a sheet of paper and a ruler gives you a number you can use against any chart on this page.
- 01
Measure at the end of the day
Feet swell as you walk, and by evening they are at their largest. A shoe fitted to a morning measurement can feel tight by the time you actually wear it.
- 02
Stand on a sheet of paper
Put the paper against a wall and stand on it with your heel touching the wall. Keep your weight on the foot — it spreads under load, and that spread is the size you need.
- 03
Mark the longest toe
Have someone mark the paper at the tip of your longest toe. That is not always the big toe. Hold the pencil upright rather than at an angle.
- 04
Measure heel to mark, in centimetres
Measure the straight-line distance from the wall edge to the mark. Do both feet — most people have one foot slightly longer, and the shoe must fit the larger one.
- 05
Add a little room
Add roughly 0.5 cm to your longest measurement before reading the chart. You should be able to press a thumb-width between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
One caveat worth repeating: shoe sizes are not standardised. Two pairs both marked UK 9 can differ by several millimetres because each manufacturer builds on its own last. Use these charts to get close, then try the pair on — which is what the showroom is for.

Kids’ shoe size chart
Children’s sizes carry a “C” and run from about 4C upward, then restart at UK 1 once the foot outgrows the children’s scale. Ages are a rough guide only — measure rather than assume.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4C | 20 | 5C | 12.7 | 12–18 months |
| 5C | 21 | 6C | 13.4 | 18–24 months |
| 6C | 22 | 7C | 14.2 | 2 years |
| 7C | 24 | 8C | 15.1 | 2–3 years |
| 8C | 25 | 9C | 15.9 | 3 years |
| 9C | 26 | 10C | 16.7 | 3–4 years |
| 10C | 27 | 11C | 17.6 | 4–5 years |

Sizing questions we get asked
Is Indian shoe size the same as UK size?
For adults, yes — Indian sizing follows the UK scale, so an Indian 8 is a UK 8. The two are used interchangeably on boxes sold here. US sizes run about one number higher, and EU sizes are on a completely different scale.
What is UK size 8 in centimetres?
A men's UK 8 is roughly 26.5 cm of foot length, and a women's UK 8 is roughly 26.2 cm. Because the two scales differ, always check the chart for the right one.
Should I size up if I am between sizes?
Usually yes — go to the larger size and take up the small amount of extra room with a slightly thicker sock or an insole. A shoe that is marginally too big can be adjusted; one that is too small cannot.
Why does the same size fit differently in different brands?
Every manufacturer builds around its own last, which is the mould that gives a shoe its shape. Two shoes both marked UK 9 can differ by several millimetres in length and noticeably in width. Treat the number as a starting point, not a guarantee — this is exactly why trying a pair on beats ordering blind.
How much room should there be at the toe?
About a thumb-width — roughly half a centimetre — between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when you are standing. Any less and your toes hit the front going downhill; much more and your heel starts to slip.
How often should children’s feet be measured?
Every three to four months up to about age five, and every six months after that. Children rarely complain that shoes are tight until the fit is well past due, because their feet adapt to the shoe rather than the other way round.
