This size guide is only useful for converting formal shoe sizes from one measurement system to another. If you convert a casual or trainer shoe size, you are unlikely to get a good fit in a formal shoe.

Shoes that are made to fit the same size foot will vary in physical size due to differences in last (shoe) shapes. For this reason we cannot measure shoes to fit your feet.

US customers need to be aware that UK sizes are different to US sizes. For example, a US size 6 customer should order a UK size 5 or 5.5 as this seems to be the approximate difference we see.
