How to check before buying

  1. Measure both feet while standing and use the longer foot.
  2. Measure later in the day and wear the socks you expect to use.
  3. Compare 22.5 cm with the exact brand and model chart.
  4. Check width and return policy; the same label can fit differently by model.

Evidence and limitations

The physical anchor follows footwear measurement principles in ISO 9407:2019. Regional-system comparison is treated as an approximate reference informed by ISO 19407:2023, not an exact fit guarantee.

Common questions

Is this conversion exact?

No. The foot-length anchor is physical, but US, UK and EU labels can vary by brand and model.

Which value should I trust most?

Use your current foot length and the exact product chart before purchase.
