From each brand’s own charts, linked: the other side’s size where the chart prints it beside this one, or both sizes on one row; otherwise the row on the other chart with the same EU (or UK) size; otherwise the nearest foot length, within 3 mm. “Foot” is the brand’s own foot length for the size in the heading, where its chart gives one, not for the size it maps to. Highlighted rows differ from the standard tables. Not affiliated with any brand.
Who wears women’s 4.5 and men’s 3?
In kids’ sizes, a women’s 4.5 is a 3Y by the standard size tables. Two big-kid charts print it beside a youth size: Nike (also Jordan) 3Y and Saucony 2Y, so a pair from the kids’ range can fit the same foot. The median child’s foot reaches this size at about 9½ years, in the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s survey of children.
The foot each brand’s own chart makes women’s 4.5 for runs from 21.1 cm (Reebok) to 21.9 cm (Saucony) across 5 charts; the standard size tables make it for a foot up to 21.2 cm. Pick the brand whose foot length is at or just above yours.
- Saucony 21.9 cm
- Nike 21.6 cm
- Teva 21.6 cm
- New Balance 21.5 cm
- Reebok 21.1 cm
From the men’s side, the foot each brand’s men’s chart makes men’s 3 for runs from 21.0 cm (New Balance) to 21.9 cm (Saucony) across 4 charts.
- Saucony 21.9 cm
- Teva 21.6 cm
- UGG 21.1 cm
