European Sizing

European Sizing

I will try to take the mystery out of the European sizes if I can. For most of the brands, at least the ones that we carry, the easiest way to convert is to just drop the 3. So a size 37 - becomes a 7, a size 39 - a 9 and so forth. Didn't know it was that easy, did you?

Many shoes with European sizing don't come in half sizes, so if you are the half size, start by going up. So if you are a 6-1/2, start with the 37, which would be the 7.

Unfortunately, there are a couple of brands that throw you for a loop. One is Josef Seibel. They size just a bit different. You go down a size with them, so a 37 is a 6 instead of a 7. Naot is the same way. I cannot tell you why but it is what it is.

For the most part - just drop the 3 and that is your size. If you ever have a question - just ask, happy to help!
