Understanding Shoe Size AU to US Conversion

Australian shoe sizing differs from US sizing depending on whether you are buying men's or women's footwear. For women's shoes, the conversion is simple — Australian and US sizes are identical. A women's AU size 7 is exactly a US size 7. For men's shoes, the situation is different because Australia follows the UK sizing system, which runs one full size smaller than the US equivalent.

This means a man wearing an Australian size 9 will need a US size 10. This difference trips up many shoppers buying from US-based retailers like Zappos or Nike's US website. Understanding this one-size gap is the key to getting the right fit when ordering internationally in 2026.

Shoe Sizing Facts You Need to Know in 2026

Shoe size systems vary significantly across countries. Before using any shoe size AU to US converter, understanding why these differences exist helps you shop with confidence across all major footwear brands and retailers.

🇦🇺 Australian Men's Sizing

Australian men's shoe sizes are based on the UK Barleycorn system and are identical to UK sizes. They run one full size smaller than US men's sizes. So AU/UK 9 = US 10. This applies to all Australian footwear brands including Blundstone, RM Williams, and Rossi Boots.

🇦🇺 Australian Women's Sizing

Australian women's shoe sizes match US women's sizes exactly. An AU women's 8 equals a US women's 8, making international shopping straightforward for women. However, AU women's sizes differ from UK women's sizes — UK runs about 2 sizes smaller than AU/US for women.

🇺🇸 US Shoe Sizing System

The United States uses its own shoe sizing system derived from the Brannock Device measurement. US men's sizes are one full size larger than Australian and UK sizes. US women's sizes match Australian women's sizes. Major US brands like Nike and New Balance use this system on their US websites.

🇪🇺 European EU Sizing

European shoe sizes are based on Paris points (⅔ of a centimetre per size). EU sizes apply across both men's and women's shoes without a gender difference. A men's AU 9 (US 10) equals approximately EU 43. A women's AU/US 8 equals approximately EU 39. EU sizes are used across most European brands.

👞 Blundstone AU to US Sizing

Blundstone boots follow Australian and UK sizing, so they run one size smaller than US men's sizes. For women buying Blundstones, subtract 1.5 to 2 sizes from your US women's size to find your Blundstone size. A US women's 8 typically fits a Blundstone size 6 or 6.5.

📏 Measuring Your Foot Size

For the most accurate shoe size AU to US conversion, measure your foot length in millimetres. Stand on paper, trace your foot, and measure heel to longest toe. Compare this to the foot length column in our size charts above. Always measure both feet — most people have one foot slightly larger than the other.

💡 Quick AU to US Size Rule to Remember

Men's: Add 1 to your AU size to get your US size. AU 8 → US 9, AU 9 → US 10, AU 10 → US 11.
Women's: Your AU and US size are the same. AU 8 → US 8, AU 9 → US 9.

✅ Best Tips for Shopping AU to US Shoe Sizes Online

  • Always check whether the US store lists sizes in men's or women's — some unisex styles use men's sizing only.
  • When in doubt, use your foot length in mm as the universal reference — it works for every size system.
  • For running shoes and athletic footwear, many brands like Nike recommend going half a size up from your standard size for comfort.

⚠️ Common Mistakes When Converting Shoe Size AU to US

  • Forgetting the men's +1 rule: The most common mistake is ordering the same number in US as your AU men's size — always add 1 for men's shoes.
  • Brand variation: Size charts are a guide. Brands like Converse, Vans, and New Balance can vary slightly — always check brand-specific size guides when available.
  • Kids' sizing confusion: Children's AU to US conversions differ from adult conversions — never apply the adult formula to kids' shoe sizes.

How to Convert Shoe Size AU to US Manually

Even without our shoe size AU to US converter above, the manual calculation is quick. Follow these steps for any size:

  • Step 1 — Identify your gender category: Men's and women's conversions follow different rules in the AU to US system.
  • Step 2 — Apply the correct formula: For men, add 1 to your AU size. For women, your AU and US sizes are identical.
  • Step 3 — Verify with foot length: Cross-check your converted US size against the foot length in millimetres in the chart above to confirm the correct fit.

For example, a man with an Australian size 8.5 simply adds 1 to get US size 9.5. A woman with an Australian size 7.5 wears a US size 7.5 — no calculation needed at all.

Frequently Asked Questions — Shoe Size AU to US

What is the difference between AU and US shoe sizes?
For men's shoes, Australian sizes follow the UK system and run one full size smaller than US sizes. So an AU men's 9 equals a US men's 10. For women's shoes, Australian and US sizes are identical — an AU women's 8 equals a US women's 8. This key difference is the most important thing to know when converting shoe size AU to US.
How do I convert AU shoe size to US for men?
To convert an Australian men's shoe size to US, simply add 1 to your AU size. AU 7 = US 8, AU 8 = US 9, AU 9 = US 10, AU 10 = US 11, AU 11 = US 12. This is because Australian men's sizes follow the UK Barleycorn system, which runs one size below US sizing. Use our free shoe size AU to US converter above for half sizes and a full breakdown.
Are Australian and US women's shoe sizes the same?
Yes. Australian and US women's shoe sizes are the same number. A women's AU size 6 equals a US size 6, AU 7 equals US 7, AU 8 equals US 8, and so on. This makes international shopping for women straightforward. However, Australian women's sizes differ from UK women's sizes — UK women's sizes run approximately 2 sizes smaller than AU/US women's sizes.
What AU shoe size is a US men's 10?
A US men's size 10 equals an Australian men's size 9. Because AU men's sizes are one size smaller than US sizes, you subtract 1 from the US size to get the AU equivalent. So US 10 → AU 9, US 11 → AU 10, US 12 → AU 11, and US 9 → AU 8.
Do Blundstone boots use Australian or US sizing?
Blundstone boots use Australian and UK sizing, which is one size smaller than US men's sizing. If you are a US men's size 10, you would order a Blundstone size 9. For women, Blundstones are typically sold in men's/unisex sizing, so women should subtract about 1.5 to 2 sizes from their US women's size. A US women's 8 usually fits a Blundstone size 6 or 6.5.
What AU shoe size is a US women's 8?
A US women's size 8 equals an Australian women's size 8 — they are exactly the same. Australian and US women's shoe sizes match one-to-one across the full size range. In UK sizing, a women's AU/US 8 equals a UK women's 6. In EU sizing, women's AU/US 8 equals approximately EU 39.
