Unfortunately, there is no formula by which you can convert your shoe size into some other county shoe size, then you are sadly mistaken. There is no standard formula to measure that. Every time you want to convert your shoe size to other country, look it up in the conversion chart. A better idea is to memorize your shoe size into all your favorite international brands. We will illustrate this with the help of an example. European shoe sizes are numbered in 30’s and 40’s. Your shoe size thirty seven in Europe would be the equivalent to shoe size five in the Unites States. That means U.S shoes are 32 numbers lesser than equivalent European shoes. But European shoe size forty three measures equivalent to the shoe size of nine in the United States. Now the difference has increased by two. Therefore, you will end up making a wrong pair of shoes by your manual calculations. Trust on the standard conversion chart for the perfect purchase.

For all the fashion aware European women, here is a conversion of your European shoe size into the American shoe index. European shoe sizes for ladies start from size 36(which is equivalent to size 5), 37(which is equivalent to size 6), 38(which is equivalent to size 7), 39(which is equivalent to size 8), 40(which is equivalent to size 8 and a half), 41(which is equivalent to size 9), 42(which is equivalent to size 10), 43(which is equivalent to size 11) and 44(which is equivalent to size 11 and a half).
