Japanese Shoe Sizes



Shoe sizes in Japan are pretty simple .. it is just the length of the shoe in centimeters. The conversion is like this:
Japan 21 21 ½ 22 22 ½ 23 23 ½ 24 24 ½ 25 25 ½ 26
European 35 35 ½ 36 37 37 ½ 38 38 ½ 39 40 41 42
UK 2 ½ 3 3 ½ 4 4 ½ 5 5 ½ 6 6 ½ 7 7 ½
USA Womens 5 5 ½ 6 6 ½ 7 7 ½ 8 8 ½ 9 9 ½ 10
USA Mens 5 5.5 6 6.5 7 7.5 8 8.5

Shoe stores tend to stock typical Japanese sizes and for men it can be hard to find shoes over 27 cm in length (mens size 9 in the US). If you are looking for larger shoes in Japan go to neighborhoods frequented by foreigners such as Shibuya.
