Shopping for shoes from Chinese platforms like Taobao, 1688, or Weidian can be tricky, especially when it comes to sizing. Sugargoo makes it easy to purchase your favorite footwear, but understanding Asian shoe sizes is key to avoiding returns or ill-fitting pairs. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about shoe sizing when shopping with Sugargoo.

Understanding Asian Shoe Sizing Systems

Unlike Western sizing, which often uses US, UK, or EU standards, Chinese shoe sizes typically follow the EU measurement system but may have slight variations. Most Chinese shoe listings provide sizes in EU measurements, but it's crucial to double-check the specific sizing chart provided by each seller.

How to Measure Your Feet Accurately

To ensure the perfect fit, measure your feet at the end of the day when they're slightly swollen. Stand on a piece of paper, trace your foot, and measure from heel to toe in centimeters. Compare this measurement to the seller's size chart, as Asian sizes are based on foot length rather than arbitrary numbers.

Shoe Size Conversion Charts

We've created a simple conversion table to help you translate between different sizing systems. Remember that these are general guidelines, and you should always check the specific brand's sizing recommendations:

- US 7 = EU 40 = CN 250mm

- US 8 = EU 41 = CN 260mm

- US 9 = EU 42 = CN 270mm
