Measured foot length into the women's US scale

Every 5 mm of measured foot length adds half a size on the US scale, so the two columns stay in step the whole way down. Measuring the bare foot in millimetres is the reliable way to read 24.5 cm as US 7.5.

The centimetre column is Mondopoint, foot length in millimetres under ISO 9407, and it is the measurement the US number stands in for. Converting from it sidesteps the gender step and the brand last in one move. Women's lasts sit roughly a size and a half off the men's at the same foot length, which is why a shared cm reading gives different US numbers for men and women. Measuring the bare foot, larger foot first, is the way past a label that runs short.

Common questions

How do I find my women's US size from centimetres?

Measure both bare feet, take the longer length in millimetres, and read the US size on that row of the table above.

Why is my cm reading a different US size than a man's?

Women's and men's lasts differ by roughly a size and a half at the same foot length, so the same centimetres map to different US numbers.
