Europe
In the Continental European system, the shoe size is the length of the last, expressed in Paris
points, for both sexes and for adults and children alike. Note that the last is typically longer than the
foot heel to toe length by 4⁄3 to 5⁄3 cm or 2 to 2.5 Paris points, so to determine the shoe size based on
actual foot length one must add 2 Paris points.
Because a Paris point is 2⁄3 of a centimetre, the formula is as follows:
shoe size (Paris points) = 3⁄2 × last length (cm)
equivalent to:
shoe size (Paris points) ≈ 3⁄2 × foot length (cm) + 2.
The European system is used in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany,
[8]
 Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,[9] Sweden, Switzerland, and
most other continental European countries. It is also used in Middle Eastern countries (such
as Iran), Brazil—which uses the same method but subtracts 2 from the final result, in effect
measuring foot size instead of last size[citation needed]—and, commonly, Hong Kong. The system is
sometimes described as Stich size (from Pariser Stich, the German name for the Paris
point), or Stichmass size (from Stichmaß, a micrometer for internal measurements).

Mondopoint
 Measurement of foot length, width and perimeter (cirсumference) as defined in the Mondopoint
standard

The Mondopoint shoe length system is widely used in sports industry to size athletic shoes,
ski boots, skates, and pointe ballet shoes; it was also adopted as the primary shoe sizing
system in the Soviet Union[10], Russia,[11] East Germany, China,[12] Japan, Taiwan, and South
Korea, and as an optional system in United Kingdom,[13] India,[14] Mexico, and European
countries. The Mondopoint system is also used by NATO and other military services.
The Mondopoint system was introduced in the 1970s by International Standard ISO
2816:1973 "Fundamental characteristics of a system of shoe sizing to be known as
Mondopoint" and ISO 3355:1975 "Shoe sizes – System of length grading (for use in the
Mondopoint system)".[15] ISO 9407:2019, "Shoe sizes—Mondopoint system of sizing and
marking",[16] is the current version of the standard.
The Mondopoint system is based on average foot length and foot width for which the shoe is
suitable, measured in millimetres. The length of the foot is measured as horizontal distance
between the perpendiculars in contact with the end of the most prominent toe and the most
prominent part of the heel. The width of the foot is measured as horizontal distance between
vertical lines in contact with the first and fifth metatarsophalangeal joints. The perimeter of
the foot is the length of foot circumference, measured with a flexible tape at the same points
as foot width. The origin of the grade is zero.
The labeling typically includes foot length, followed by an optional foot width: a shoe size of
280/110 indicates a foot length of 280 millimetres (11.0 in) and width of 110 millimetres
(4.3 in). Other customary markings, such as EU, UK and US sizes, may also be used.
Because Mondopoint takes the foot width into account, it allows for better fitting than most
other systems. A given shoe size shall fit every foot with indicated average measurements,
and those differing by no more than a half-step of the corresponding interval grid. Standard
foot lengths are defined with interval steps of 5 mm for casual footwear and steps of 7.5 mm
for specialty (protective) footwear. The standard is maintained by ISO Technical Committee
137 "Footwear sizing designations and marking systems."
Japan, Taiwan and South Korea
In Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, the Mondopoint system is used as defined by national
standard JIS S 5037:1998 and its counterparts CNS 4800-S1093:2000 and KS M
6681:2007.
Foot length and girth (foot circumference) are taken into account. [17] The foot length is
indicated in centimetres; an increment of 5 mm is used.
The length is followed by designators for girth (A, B, C, D, E, EE, EEE, EEEE, F, G), which
are specified in an indexed table as foot circumference in millimetres for each given foot
length; foot width is also included as supplemental information. There are different tables for
men's, women's, and children's (less than 12 years of age) shoes. Not all designators are
used for all genders and in all countries. For example, the largest girth for women in Taiwan
is EEEE, whereas in Japan, it is F.
The foot length and width can also be indicated in millimetres, separated by a slash or a
hyphen.
Soviet Union (Russia, Commonwealth of Independent States)
Historically the Soviet Union used the European (Paris point) system, but the Mondopoint
metric system was introduced in the 1980s by GOST 24382-80 "Sizes of Sport Shoes" and
GOST 11373-88 "Shoe Sizes", and lately by GOST R 58149-2018. Foot lengths are aligned
to 5 mm and 7.5 mm intervals.
Standard metric foot sizes can be converted to the nearest Paris point ( 2⁄3 cm) sizes using
approximate conversion tables; shoes can be marked with both foot length in millimetres, as
for pointe ballet shoe sizes, or last length in European Paris point sizes (although such
converted Stichmass sizes typically come 1⁄2 to 1 size smaller than comparable European-
made adult footwear, and up to 1 1⁄2 sizes smaller for children's footwear, according to ISO
19407 shoe size definitions). Optional foot width designations includes narrow, normal
(medium or regular), and wide grades.
Infant sizes start at 16 (95 mm) and pre-school kids at 23 (140 mm); schoolchildren sizes
span 32 (202.5 mm) to 40 (255 mm) for girls and 32 to 44 (285 mm) for boys. Adult sizes
span 33 (210 mm) to 44 for women and 38 (245 mm) to 48 (310 mm) for men.

ISO 19407 and shoe size conversion

ISO/TS 19407:2015 Footwear - Sizing - Conversion of sizing systems is a technical
specification from International Standards Organisation. It contains three conversion tables
(for adults and children) which feature major shoe sizing systems (e.g., Mondopoint, United
States, European, United Kingdom, China, and Japan). [18] Each table is based on actual foot
length measurement (insole) in millimetres; typical last length ranges are also included.
The standard includes conversion tables for Mondopoint
(USSR/Russian/Chinese/Japanese/Korean systems) using length steps of 5 mm and
7.5 mm, European Paris point system, and UK 1/3 inch system. The standard has also been
adopted as Russian GOST R 57425-2017.
The standard is maintained by ISO/TC 137, which also developed ISO/TS
19408:2015 Footwear - Sizing - Vocabulary and terminology; currently in development are
companion standards ISO/TS 19409 "Footwear - Sizing - Measurement of last dimensions"
and ISO/TS 19410 "Footwear - Sizing - Inshoe measurement".

Difficulties
 This section needs to be updated. The reason given is: ISO
19407:2015 specifies shoe size conversion based on foot
length. Please update this article to reflect recent events or
newly available information. (April 2018)

Differences between various shoe size tables, makers' tables or other tables found on the
Web are usually due to the following factors:

 The systems are not fully standardised. Differences between shoes from
different makers, which are due to different methods of measuring the shoes,
different manufacturing processes, or different allowances [1] are sometimes
related to different countries. A "German" size may then differ from a "French"
size, although both countries use the Continental European system.
 Different widths may have the result that for wide feet, a shoe multiple sizes
larger (and actually too long) may be required. This may also result in different
size indications, especially if different : ) typical widths are attributed to different
sizing systems or countries.
 Some tables for children take future growth into account. The shoe size is then
larger than what would correspond to the actual length of the foot. [6]
 An indication in centimetres or inches can mean the length of the foot or the
length of the shoe's inner cavity. This relation is not constant but varies due to
different amounts of wiggle room required for different sizes of shoes.
 There are several US systems, which differ substantially for sizes far above or
below medium sizes.
Further, some tables available on the Web simply contain errors. For example, the wiggle
room or
