From a measured foot to a last-based number
The EU number does not track foot length evenly: some 5 mm gains add a half size and others a whole one (EU 36 to EU 37), which is why cm-to-EU charts from different shops disagree by a size. The table above reads the step straight from foot length, so 27 cm lands on EU 42.
Here a real measurement, foot length in millimetres, meets the European last count. Because the last is cut up to 1.5 cm longer than the foot and the Paris point steps in two thirds of a centimetre, the two do not move together in even beats, and that mismatch is exactly why cm-to-EU charts from different sellers disagree by a size. Reading foot length straight into the size, as the table does, skips the guesswork that brand-specific last allowances introduce.
Common questions
Why do cm-to-EU charts disagree between shops?
Each shop assumes a different last allowance on top of the foot, and the Paris point does not divide foot length evenly, so their rounding lands on different EU numbers.
Should I trust the cm column over the EU label?
Foot length in centimetres is the measured fact; the EU number is a proxy for it. When they clash, believe the measurement and check the brand chart.
