Shoe Sizes

[Reverandfunk]

This is driving me mad I have a dispute with an Ebay seller as I take a uk mens size six in shoes and always thought this was a continental 39. However, having looked on the net, I have seen a 39 listed as being a 6, 6.5 & 7!! It all dependes on the shoe manufacturer by the looks of things but surely there is a difinitive guide lol.

i take a 6 so a 39 or a 40 usually fits well.

This guide seems as definitive as any since it explains foot measurement units...

The main problem with shoes is it all depend on the last they were made on some are a larger fit than others (worked in the shoe trade for 15 years)
