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.
On the standard women's chart, a US 8 sells as an AU 8 in most Australian stores — effectively the same number carried over, which makes this pairing mostly a labelling confirmation rather than a genuine size shift.
Imported stock is where it gets murkier: a European or Japanese shoe re-labelled for the Australian shelf can be stamped with either a US-equivalent or a UK-equivalent AU number depending on which convention the importer used, so a foot-length check matters more for imported lines than for locally distributed brands.
Frequently asked questions
Is a US 8 always sold as an AU 8?
For most Australian-market women’s shoes from a US or Australian brand, yes. Imported European or Japanese stock re-labelled for Australia is the case to watch, since the AU number there can follow a different source scale.
