Foot length against the European last count

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 24.5 cm lands on EU 38.

A measured foot in millimetres meets the European number, which counts the last in Paris points rather than the foot itself. The last runs up to 1.5 cm longer than the foot and each brand sets its own allowance, so foot length and EU number do not climb in even beats, and cm-to-EU charts from different shops land a size apart. The table reads foot length straight into the size, which is steadier than trusting a brand's assumed toe room.

Common questions

Why do women's cm-to-EU charts vary by shop?

Each assumes a different last allowance on top of the foot, and the Paris point does not divide foot length evenly, so their rounding differs.

Is the cm column more reliable than the EU label?

Yes as a measurement. Foot length is the fact; the EU number is a proxy that depends on the brand's last.
