Why US and EU shoe sizes are different
European system
Based on the Paris point, two-thirds of a centimeter. One scale covers men, women, and kids, so an EU 40 is the same length for everyone.
American system
Based on the old English barleycorn (one-third of an inch), with separate scales for men, women, and kids. That's why a men's 8 and a women's 8 aren't the same shoe.
How to measure your foot for an accurate conversion
