Breaking Down The Sizing Monster
There are typically three types of size conversions available in South Africa: UK, US, and EU shoe sizes. While size guides help, they are still a guideline as manufacturers' shoes differ in length and breadth. Knowing the actual length and breadth of your feet will make using an online size guide much more effective.
It's worth knowing your size in all three international call-outs so you know exactly what to choose when next shopping online.
UK / SA Size Guide
BONUS: The UK's shoe sizing metrics are essentially referred to as South Africa’s standard sizing. Both shoe sizing systems use lower numbers for shoe sizes. This includes sizes 0 to 14 for children and 0 to 15 for adults. Always remain aware that sizes may differ depending on the manufacturer.
The Euro Double-Digit Guide
While the UK and South Africa use the same shoe sizing system, the Euro sizing guide can be confusing as Euro sizes are double-digits and start from size 15 for babies to size 50 for adults. Unlike the straightforward UK sizes, Euro shoe sizes will need a conversion table before purchasing them.
US / SA Size Guide
Unlike the Euro guide, US size guides follow a single-digit system, much like the UK and SA guides. However, US shoe sizes are typically 1 to 2 numbers higher than the UK and SA sizes, meaning that a South African or UK size 5 would have to be bought as a US size 6 or 7, depending on the fit.
