Women's Size ConversionsWomen's European shoe sizes range from 35 to 43. Because there are no half sizes, it is easy to remember the conversion chart. Since U.S. size 4 corresponds with European 35, and U.S. 12 corresponds with European 43, all seven other sizes fall within the range respectively.

Children's Size ConversionsChildren's European sizes are separated into three separate categories---infant, toddler and youth. The sizes run from 16 up to 39 and do not come in half sizes. Infant sizing runs between 16 and 20 and corresponds to U.S. sizes 1-5. European toddler sizes are 21 to 30 and youth shoes run between 31 and 39.
Children's European sizes are the hardest to distinguish due to their extensive breakdown. If traveling in Europe, most shoe stores will have a conversion foot measurement tool on hand. - For those who are in between sizes on the U.S. charts, you may feel more comfortable with a larger European size. For example, if you have a women's U.S. size 8 1/2, European size 40 may have a greater chance of fitting better. This same principle applies to both men's and children's sizes.

If you are traveling in Europe, do not hesitate to ask the shoe attendant your size. Most shops will know the U.S. shoe conversion off-hand.
When shopping on-line, almost all shoe sites will have a link to a conversion chart so your European size will be easily accessible.
