Australia sizes
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.
Shoe size
= UK (both men's and women's)
Women's clothing
AU 8, 10, 12, 14 = US 4, 6, 8, 10
Australian shoe sizing matches UK numbering — an AU 9 men's = UK 9 men's = US 10. Women's follows UK offsets (AU 6 = UK 6 = US 8).
Clothing sizes match UK: AU 12 women's = UK 12 = US 8. Australian sports brands may tighten fits for surf and swimwear categories.
Common pitfalls
- AU shoe = UK shoe, not US.
- Swimwear runs snug — many AU brands recommend sizing up 1.
