Mondopoint Explained: Metric Shoe Sizing

What it describes

Mondopoint labels use foot measurements, commonly expressed in millimeters. Where width is included it must be interpreted using the applicable labeling convention; a universal extra-wide cutoff in millimeters is not appropriate for every foot length.

Standards are not a universal fit guarantee

ISO 19407:2023 provides guideline conversions between footwear sizing systems. Manufacturer charts and lasts can still differ. Do not describe a retail conversion as an exact, universal ISO mapping.

Read consumer labels carefully

Nike’s box-label CM differs from the Foot Length column in its chart. A metric unit alone does not establish what was measured. Foot, insole, last and label values must be kept distinct.

Use measured-foot guidance

Measure both feet and follow the current manufacturer chart. A size label gives a starting point; width, volume and actual fit still need checking.
