Women’s sock sizes
The US women’s shoe sizes each sock size covers, on each brand’s own chart.
Your shoe size → sock size
For each whole US shoe size, the sock size each brand’s chart gives it. Where a brand’s ranges meet (Saucony’s men’s M is 6–9 and its L 9–12), the size on the line is in both.

Not in these tables: Nike’s unisex sock chart, Onitsuka Tiger’s unisex sock chart, PUMA’s men’s sock chart, PUMA’s women’s sock chart, Saucony’s unisex sock chart, which repeat a brand’s own men’s or women’s chart or print no plain US ranges. Some unisex sock charts also give women’s ranges in their notes; they’re on the brand pages.
Kids’ sock charts (ASICS, Bombas, Nike, Onitsuka Tiger, PUMA, Saucony, Stance, Vans) use kids’ and toddler sizes; they’re on each brand’s chart page.
Questions

I’m between two sock sizes. Which one?
The brands’ charts don’t say. Some print ranges that meet at one shoe size (Saucony’s 9 is in both M and L); check the brand’s chart for the sock you’re buying.
Are men’s and women’s sock sizes the same?
The letters are, the shoe sizes aren’t: each chart gives women’s sock sizes in women’s US shoe sizes, which run higher for the same foot.
