EU shoe manufacturers use much larger numbers to reflect shoe sizes than US manufacturers. To a great extent, this distinction is linked to the fact that the United States uses the imperial system of measurement while Europe uses the metric system. This means that in measuring a person's feet in Europe, manufacturers use centimeters, while in the US, manufacturers use inches. With centimeters being so much smaller than inches, it should now be obvious why there is such a big difference in the numbers used to reflect shoe sizes.
To convert EU shoe size to US, you need to use the following steps:
1. Get the EU size.
2. Subtract 2 from the given size and divide the result by 1.5. This is the length of your foot in centimeters.
3. Divide the answer in 2 by 2.54 to convert the length of your foot to inches.
4. Multiply the answer by 3, then subtract 21( if you are converting the US to EU Shoe Size (European) (https://shoesize.io/) for women). Subtract 22 if you are converting the EU to US shoe size for men.
5. The answer in 4 is the desired shoe size in US.
