Sizing conventions vary by brand and by cut — this table shows the standard published conversion. Always check the garment's own size chart when one is available. See how these tables are compiled.
A EU 23 glove converts to a US size 9 on the standard chart, the reverse of the centimetre-to-inch step — the number needed when a European glovemaker's size chart lists only the metric palm measurement.
Because this is a direct unit conversion of the same palm-circumference measurement, it's one of the more mechanically reliable conversions on this site — the main variable left is the glove's own cut and material, not the size arithmetic.
Frequently asked questions
Is EU-to-US glove sizing more reliable than other garment conversions?
Yes, relatively — it's a straightforward unit conversion of the same palm measurement rather than two differently-designed scales, so there's less of the brand-to-brand variation seen in shoe or dress sizing.
