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.
Australian men's shoe retail generally kept the same numbering as the US when the market standardized, so a US 10 sells as an AU 10 on the shelf — one of the few shoe conversions on this site where the number genuinely does not move.
The exception worth watching for is a local Australian label that built its range on a UK-derived last instead of a US one; the printed AU number can then sit roughly a full size off from what this chart predicts, so a foot-length check is worth doing for a brand you have not bought before.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to size up ordering a US 10 from an Australian retailer?
Usually not for a mainstream Australian-market shoe — the number carries over directly. Check foot length against the specific brand chart if it is a smaller local label rather than a major international one.
