Converting Chinese (CN) shoe sizes to UK sizes requires understanding the differences in measurement systems. Chinese shoe sizes are typically measured in millimeters (mm), focusing on the length of the insole, while UK sizes are generally expressed in a different sizing system.
For men, a Chinese shoe size of 38, which corresponds to a foot length of 24.1 cm (241 mm), is equivalent to a UK size 6. For women, a Chinese size of 35.5, with a foot length of 22.0 cm, equates to a UK size 5. It’s important to note that these conversions can vary slightly depending on the brand and style of the shoe.
Here are the conversion tables for men and women:
