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 UK 9 men's shoe converts to a EU 43 on the standard chart, and the whole UK 6-to-12 range maps to EU 40 through EU 45.5 in even steps, one EU size (occasionally a half) per UK whole size.
Men's shoe factories cut EU sizes more consistently across brands than women's, so UK-to-EU conversion for men's shoes tends to hold steadier across retailers than the women's equivalent — still worth a foot-length check for a first order from an unfamiliar brand.
Frequently asked questions
Is men's UK-to-EU shoe conversion more reliable than women's?
Slightly — men's lasts vary less by brand than women's, so the standard conversion table holds up more consistently. It's still an average, not a guarantee for every factory.
