The importance of size conversion in the shoe trade
For shoe importers, navigating the different international sizing systems can be a challenge. Shoe sizes in the United States (US), European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) differ significantly, which has an impact on the purchasing and sale of shoes. In this blog we discuss the key considerations for importers and provide a useful size chart for conversion.
Important shoe size considerations for importers
- Know your market: It is essential to understand which sizing system your target market uses. This helps to accurately order the right sizes and prevent customer confusion.
- Conversion is crucial: Because sizes vary between systems, accurate conversion is essential to deliver the right products to your customers.
- Differences: The sizing of women and men may be different.
- Quality Control: Beware of variations in sizing between different brands and manufacturers, even within the same sizing system.
