Comparison
EU vs Japanese Shoe Sizes
Japanese sizing is Mondopoint — foot length in centimeters. It's the cleanest scale in use. EU sizing derives from the Paris Point (2/3 cm per size). Both describe length, so conversion is straightforward.
A Japanese size of 26.5 means a 26.5 cm foot. Convert to EU by roughly multiplying by 1.55 and rounding — but the chart below is more reliable than the arithmetic.
| JP (cm) | EU | US Men's | US Women's |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24.0 | 38.5 | 6 | 7.5 |
| 25.0 | 40 | 7 | 8.5 |
| 26.0 | 41 | 8 | 9.5 |
| 27.0 | 42.5 | 9 | 10.5 |
| 28.0 | 44 | 10 | 11.5 |
| 29.0 | 45 | 11 | 12.5 |
Key takeaways
- JP size is literally your foot length in cm.
- Korean sizing is the same in mm (multiply JP by 10).
- Convert JP to EU with the chart, not a formula.
