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 9.5 and men’s 8?

One big-kid chart prints it beside a youth size: Saucony 7Y, so a pair from the kids’ range can fit the same foot. The median child’s foot reaches this size at about 18 years, in the US Consumer Product Safety Commission’s survey of children.

The foot each brand’s own chart makes women’s 9.5 for runs from 25.4 cm (Reebok) to 26.5 cm (New Balance) across 16 charts; the standard size tables make it for a foot up to 25.4 cm. Pick the brand whose foot length is at or just above yours.

From the men’s side, the foot each brand’s men’s chart makes men’s 8 for runs from 25.0 cm (HEYDUDE) to 27.0 cm (Golden Goose) across 20 charts.

In the US Army’s 2012 ANSUR II survey of 1,986 women, 15% (289) had a foot in this size’s range, 25.0 to 25.4 cm, and 75% had a foot of 25.4 cm or shorter; of the 4,082 men, 6.0% (243) had a foot in it.

Men’s shoes are cut wider than women’s

At this length, a women’s standard width (B) is 89 mm across the ball, 11 mm narrower than men’s standard D (100 mm); the nearest men’s width is B (97 mm). For men buying women’s shoes the other way round, the nearest women’s width to men’s D is 2E (96 mm). Width letters explained.
