Centimeters (foot length) to US Men Converter

Centimeters (cm) represent the actual foot length measurement, the universal reference point for all shoe size conversion systems. Measuring your foot in centimeters first is the most reliable way to find your correct size across US, UK, EU, and Japanese systems, as each region uses different numbering scales. A typical adult male foot measures 26–28 cm.

US Men's shoe sizes follow a scale where size 9 corresponds to a foot length of approximately 27 cm, with each half-size adding about 0.42 cm. The US system is used throughout North America and differs from UK sizes by approximately one full size (US 9 ≈ UK 8). Athletic shoe sizes may vary slightly between brands.
