Sizes by country

Barleycorn (shoes) · Inch-based (clothing)

Numeric shoe sizes based on 1/3 inch increments, letter and numeric clothing sizes that drift over time.

Barleycorn (shoes) · Numeric offset (clothing)

Same shoe scale as the US, offset by one size. Clothing sizes sit two numbers above US women's.

Paris Point (shoes) · EN 13402 (clothing)

Metric-native sizing across the EU, with country-specific numbering in Italy and France.

IT (clothing, EU +2) · Paris Point (shoes)

Italian clothing labels sit two numbers above generic EU. Italian shoemakers use whole EU sizes and narrower lasts.

FR (clothing, EU +2) · Paris Point (shoes)

French women's labels add 2 to the EU number. Shoes use the standard EU Paris Point scale.

Standard EU · DIN 66401

Germany follows the generic EU chart for both clothing and shoes. Fit is typically true to label.

Mondopoint (shoes) · Numeric cm (clothing)

The most literal system in the world — shoe sizes are foot length in centimeters.

Mondopoint in mm (shoes) · Numeric cm (clothing)

Same Mondopoint scale as Japan, but expressed in millimeters instead of centimeters.

GB (national standard) · cm-based

Chinese sizing uses centimeter body-measurement labels. Numeric labels (160/84A) encode both height and bust.

UK for shoes · UK numeric for clothing

Australia follows the UK shoe scale exactly and uses the UK clothing numbering with a mild local tilt.

US sizing (shoes and clothing)

MEX numeric (shoes) · US letters (clothing)

Mexican shoe sizing uses its own numeric scale; clothing follows US letter sizes with local numeric variants.

BR shoe numeric · BR clothing numeric

Brazilian shoe numbering runs about 2 sizes below US; clothing labels sit halfway between US and EU.
