Getting the Conversion Right: What Charts Don't Tell You
A conversion chart is a starting point, not a guarantee. US, UK and EU sizes come from different measuring traditions, so the numbers never line up perfectly, and each brand rounds them a little differently. Here is how to read any chart with more confidence before your next release day.
Men's, women's and grade school sizing
In US sizing, men's and women's scales are offset. For Nike and Jordan, a women's size is typically about 1.5 sizes larger than the equivalent men's size, so a men's 8 is roughly a women's 9.5. Many Jordan retros come in men's sizes only, while grade school (GS) pairs run in youth sizes that overlap with small men's and women's sizes. If a drop lists only one scale, convert carefully before checking out.
Measure in centimetres
The most reliable number on a size label is often the centimetre or Japanese (JP) measurement, because it describes foot length directly. To measure at home:
- Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, ideally in the evening when feet are slightly larger.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure from the wall to the mark.
- Do both feet and use the longer measurement.
- Compare that length with the brand's own chart rather than a generic one.
Model matters as much as region
Two pairs with the same size on the label can fit differently. Some Jordan silhouettes feel snug through the toe box, while others run roomy, and materials such as patent leather or knit change how a shoe breaks in. Wide feet may also need half a size up in narrower models. Check our sizing notes for model-specific fit advice, and if possible try on a pair at one of the shops on our stores page before a limited release.
Before you buy
Look for the full label inside the tongue of shoes you already own, since it lists US, UK, EU and cm sizes together. That gives you a personal reference point that works across brands. When buying resale or online, confirm the return policy first, because limited drops are not always exchangeable. Keep an eye on our release calendar so you have time to sort out sizing before launch day.
