Men’s 12 in Women’s Shoe Size (US, UK, EU)

A men's US 12 shoe is about a women's US 13.5: US women's sizes run 1.5 above men's for the same foot. That size is outside the usual women's chart, so compare foot length instead: about 30 cm (11.8 in).

Good to know

• Unisex trainers (sneakers) are usually labelled in men's US sizes, or in UK and EU sizes. Women should take 1.5 off their usual US size when a unisex shoe uses men's US sizing.
• UK and EU sizes use one scale for men and women in principle, but brand charts round them differently by up to half a size, so compare foot length when in doubt.
