Footwear. Sizing. Conversion of sizing systems. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This Technical Specification comprises three shoe size conversion tables covering the major shoe sizing systems (Mondopoint, European and United Kingdom, as well as China, Japan and United States). The tables are based on measurement of foot length, this being the logical starting point for any shoe size marking system. The tables contain the following information: Table 1 — Adults’ technical shoe size conversion; Table 2 — Adults’ recommended shoe size marking (simplified); Table 3 — Children's size conversion. Explanatory notes are given in Clause 3.

NOTE It is acknowledged that, due to the different ways in which each system has been developed and interpreted over many years without being formalized into any national or International Standards (other than ISO 9407), there is no exact solution to the problem of accurate shoe size conversions. Tables 1 and 2 offer a good compromise solution which will, if adopted, benefit the consumer.
