UK vs US vs India Shoe Size: The Only Sneaker Chart You Need
India shoe sizing is identical to UK sizing. Here is the full US/UK-IND/EU conversion chart, plus the brand fit quirks that actually matter when you buy online.
The single fact nobody states plainly: Indian shoe sizing is identical to UK sizing. If you wear an India size 8, you wear a UK 8 — which is a US Men's 9. Get that one rule right and most online sizing mistakes disappear.
India = UK
Every major retailer in India lists shoes on the UK scale even when they label it "IND". There is no separate Indian system. Convert from US, never to a mythical "Indian size".
Men's conversion chart
| US Men | UK / India | EU |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 6 | 40 |
| 8 | 7 | 41 |
| 9 | 8 | 42.5 |
| 10 | 9 | 44 |
| 11 | 10 | 45 |
| 12 | 11 | 46 |
Brand fit quirks that matter
- Nike Air Force 1 — runs about half a size large. Size down if you are between sizes.
- Adidas Samba — narrow and long; most people size down half.
- New Balance 550 — true to size with a slightly roomy toe box.
- Converse Chuck Taylor — runs a full size large.
How to measure at home
Stand on paper, mark heel to longest toe, measure in cm, add 1–1.5cm of toe room, then match to the EU column above. This is far more reliable than guessing from another pair you own.
