A men’s shoe size chart matches your foot length to a US, UK, EU, and CM size. For example, a US men’s 9 equals UK 8, EU 42.5, and a foot about 10.3 inches long.
This guide gives you the full shoe size chart for men, an inches and cm table, and a men’s-to-women’s chart. You will also learn about width sizes, brand differences, and the average shoe size for men.
Use this quick rule: foot length in inches x 3, minus 22 = US men’s size.
Example: 10.5 in x 3 = 31.5. Then 31.5 – 22 = size 9.5.
Each full size adds about one-third of an inch. Round to the nearest half size.
Average Shoe Size For Men
The average men’s shoe size in the US is about 10.5, in medium (D) width — equal to a foot length of about 10.5 inches (26.5 cm). No official survey exists, so this is an estimate. Healthline reports the same figure, and the common worldwide range is 9 to 12.
Size varies with age, height, weight, genetics, and foot conditions. Nutrition before puberty plays a part too, and average sizes have crept up over the last century as height and weight have risen.

Why Foot Size Changes With Age
Harvard Health and Cleveland Clinic both note that ligaments and tendons loosen over time. The arch flattens, and feet grow longer and wider.
Weight gain, bunions, and hammer toe can also push you up a size. Re-measure whenever your shoes start to feel tight.
