Women’s 6 in Men’s Shoe Size (US, UK, EU)

A women's US 6 shoe is about a men's US 4.5: US women's sizes run 1.5 above men's for the same foot. That size is outside the usual men's chart, so compare foot length instead: about 23 cm (9.1 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.
