Understanding Shoe Size AU to EU Conversion

Australian shoe sizes use two different reference systems depending on gender. Men's AU sizes are identical to UK sizes — so an Australian man wearing a size 9 is also wearing a UK 9. Women's AU sizes are identical to US sizes — so an Australian woman in a size 8 is also wearing a US 8. The European (EU) sizing system is entirely different, based on foot length measured in Paris points, where each point equals ⅔ of a centimetre.

Because of these different base systems, the offset between AU and EU differs for men and women. For men, AU + 33 ≈ EU (e.g., AU 9 = EU 42). For women, AU + 31 ≈ EU (e.g., AU 8 = EU 39). These are approximate formulas — always check the specific brand's size chart when possible. For other unit conversion tools, see the atmospheres to pascals converter.

📐 AU to EU Shoe Size Formula (Approximate)

Men's: EU ≈ AU + 33 (e.g., AU 9 → EU 42) | AU Men = UK
Women's: EU ≈ AU + 31 (e.g., AU 8 → EU 39) | AU Women = US
EU based on Paris points: 1 point = ⅔ cm foot length

How to Convert Shoe Size AU to EU — Step by Step

Converting your Australian shoe size to EU is straightforward once you know which formula applies to your gender. Follow the steps below for a quick manual conversion, or use the calculator above for instant results.

✅ Men's AU → EU Conversion

  • Step 1: Find your AU men's size (equals your UK size, e.g., AU 10).
  • Step 2: Add 33 → 10 + 33 = EU 43.
  • US size: AU men + 0.5 (e.g., AU 10 = US 10.5).

💡 Women's AU → EU Conversion

  • Step 1: Find your AU women's size (equals your US size, e.g., AU 7).
  • Step 2: Add 31 → 7 + 31 = EU 38.
  • UK size: AU women − 2 (e.g., AU 7 = UK 5).

⚠️ Always Check Brand Size Charts

Shoe size conversions are approximate guides only. Different brands may size up or down by half a size. If you are between two EU sizes, it is generally recommended to size up. Always verify with the brand's official chart before purchasing.

Key AU to EU Shoe Size Facts for 2026

👨 Men's AU = UK

Australian men's shoe sizes are identical to UK sizes. A man wearing AU 9 is wearing a UK 9. To get the EU size, add 33 — so AU/UK 9 = EU 42. The US equivalent is AU + 0.5, making AU 9 = US 9.5.

👩 Women's AU = US

Australian women's shoe sizes are identical to US sizes. A woman wearing AU 8 is also wearing a US 8. The UK equivalent is AU − 2 (AU 8 = UK 6), and the EU size is approximately AU + 31 (AU 8 = EU 39).

🇪🇺 How EU Sizes Work

European shoe sizes are based on Paris points, where each point equals ⅔ of a centimetre of foot length. EU sizing runs continuously for all genders — there is no separate men's/women's EU system unlike AU, UK, and US systems.

↔️ Half Sizes in EU

EU half sizes (e.g., EU 39.5, EU 40.5) exist but many brands only produce whole sizes. When your AU half size falls between two EU whole sizes, it is generally best to size up for comfort.

📏 Measure Your Foot

The most reliable way to convert shoe sizes internationally is to measure your foot length in centimetres while standing. Match the measurement to the EU column in the size chart above to bypass brand-to-brand inconsistencies entirely.

🛒 Shopping EU Brands

When shopping from European brands like Adidas, Zara, or Birkenstock, always use the EU size label on the product. Use this converter to find your EU size first, then shop directly using that number for the most accurate fit.
