Understanding AU to US Shoe Size Conversion
Converting between Australian and US shoe sizes follows specific patterns depending on the gender:
For Women’s Shoes:
Australian women’s shoe sizes are generally the same as US sizes. This means an AU size 8 is equivalent to a US size 8.
Formula: AU Women’s Size = US Women’s Size
For Men’s Shoes:
Australian men’s shoe sizes are typically one size smaller than US sizes. This means an AU size 9 is equivalent to a US size 10.
Formula: US Men’s Size = AU Men’s Size + 1
Or: AU Men’s Size = US Men’s Size – 1
For Children’s Shoes:
Australian children’s shoe sizes generally align with US sizes, similar to women’s sizing.
Formula: AU Children’s Size = US Children’s Size
Measuring Your Foot for Accurate Sizing
For the most accurate shoe size determination, follow these steps to measure your foot:
- Measure your feet in the evening when they are at their largest.
- Wear the socks you would typically wear with the shoes you’re buying.
- Stand on a piece of paper and trace around your foot.
- Measure the length from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe.
- Use the measurement in centimeters to find your corresponding shoe size in the charts above.
Important Considerations When Converting Shoe Sizes
- Brand Variations: Different shoe manufacturers may have slight variations in their sizing. Always check brand-specific size charts when available.
- Foot Width: Standard size conversions don’t account for foot width. If you have narrow or wide feet, look for shoes that offer width options (e.g., narrow, medium, wide).
- Half Sizes: If your measurement falls between sizes, it’s generally recommended to size up for comfort.
- Regional Differences: Even within the same country, sizing standards can vary between manufacturers.
Tips for Buying Shoes Online
- Always check the retailer’s size guide, as it may differ from standard conversions.
- Read customer reviews for insights on whether the shoes run true to size, large, or small.
- Check the return policy before purchasing in case the shoes don’t fit correctly.
- If possible, try on the same brand and style in a physical store before ordering online.
