SimplySoles US/European Size Conversion


Many of our products are imported from Europe, and accordingly, come in European sizes. In effort to help you make the most informed decision prior to purchase, with the relaunch of our website we decided to provide you with the European size, along with the fit-tested American size. Unfortunately, a 40 can be either a size 9, 9.5, or 10 - depending on the factory and the unique style of each shoe. So rather than do as most companies do, and assume a size standard size conversion, we fit test each and every shoe we carry and provide you with both the European size, along with the American size unique to that specific product. If you are looking for a general size conversion chart, below is our European shoe size conversion chart.

Please keep in mind that each shoe and each style fits differently, which is why SimplySoles staff custom converts each style from European sizes into US sizes through fittings and recommendations from the designers. So please don’t be surprised if in a multiple shoe order for a US Size 8, you receive a European 38, European 38.5, and a European 39.
