United Kingdom sizes
Barleycorn (shoes) · Numeric offset (clothing)
UK shoe offsets and clothing mappings depend on the manufacturer.
Clothing example
US 8 ≈ UK 12
Footwear
Use manufacturer’s US/UK rows
US and UK shoe scales have different label conventions. Some men’s charts differ by one size, others by half a size; check the manufacturer.
A common women’s clothing reference is US 8 ≈ UK 12, a four-number difference. Actual measurements and category determine fit.
Common pitfalls
- Do not use one US/UK offset for every footwear category.
- UK and AU labels require the retailer’s current chart.
