Chinese shoe size chart

Chinese shoe sizes are easier than clothes. The 标准码 (standard size) is the same number as an EU size, so a 38 is a 38. The 国际码 (international code) is the foot length in millimetres, so 240 means 24.0 cm. Always compare your own foot length in cm with the seller's 脚长 column.

A running-shoe listing from a different brand gave US, EU and cm side by side:

The two sheets do not agree. On the first, men's EU 42 is a foot length of 25.5-26 cm. On the second, men's EU 42 is 26.5 cm. I think the first measures your foot and the second measures the shoe, but neither sheet says so. That is why the cm number matters more than the size name: measure your foot standing on paper from heel to longest toe, then use the seller's own sheet. Between two sizes, go up one. That same running-shoe seller says the shoes run true to size, and advises sizing up if your feet are wide (脚宽大建议选择大一码).

Words on a shoe listing

Check returns before you buy shoes. The running-shoe listing warns that shoes which are worn, washed or have the tag removed, in a way that affects resale, are not covered by the 7-day no-reason return, unless there is a quality problem. Try them on indoors on a clean floor, and ask the seller (客服) if you are unsure. Sheets seen on Taobao on 29 October 2026. The text on the second sheet is partly cut off at the edge, so I have only translated what I could read.
