When shopping for shoes online or abroad, it's crucial to understand the differences in shoe sizing systems to ensure a perfect fit. One common conversion is between Brazilian and US shoe sizes. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the intricacies of both systems, providing a step-by-step conversion process, tables for quick reference, and tips to avoid common mistakes.
Brazilian shoe sizes are represented by numerical values, typically ranging from 33 to 45 for women and 36 to 46 for men. These numbers correspond to the length of the foot in centimeters (cm).
US shoe sizes are also represented by numerical values, ranging from 5 to 16 for women and 7 to 14 for men. However, unlike Brazilian sizes, US sizes are based on a different measurement system, the Brannock Device. This device measures the foot's length and width, assigning a unique size value for each combination.
