Men's shoe sizes in the US are 6 to 16 (39 to 49 in EU sizes).

Men's shoes are slightly larger than women's shoes. For example, a men's size 6 shoe is about 9 ¼ in (23.5 cm) long, while a women's size 6 shoe is 9 in (22.9 cm). This is because, in general, men tend to have longer and wider feet than women. Below is a list of men's sizes and half sizes, and their lengths:^{[2]

Here are all the US sizes for kids 4-12 years old, their European equivalents, and their length measurements:^{[5]

Baby shoes are sized from 0 to 4 in the US from 0-12 months of age.

Babies that haven't learned to walk yet don't need to wear shoes, but you might want to put a pair on your infant anyway. If so, you should still pick a size based on your baby's foot length, so the shoes don't constrict their feet. Soft-sole shoes are a great option, as they're comfy and help keep your baby's feet warm.^{[7]

- Repeat this process with your other foot, in case the sizes differ slightly.
With a ruler or a tape measure, find the distance between the tip of your big toe and the back of your heel. This is the length you'll use to determine which shoe size you should buy.^{[13]

For some people, their feet are widest from their pinky toe to their big toe. For others, the widest part is a little further down, from the big toe joint on the inner edge of the foot to the outer edge. Find the widest part on your foot outline and measure it. The resulting number in inches or centimeters is your ideal shoe width.^{[14]
