This is a common misconception. US women's sizes and AU women's sizes are not the same. AU women's shoe sizes follow the UK standard, which runs 1.5 sizes smaller than US women's. So if you wear a US women's 8, your AU size is 6.5, not 8. Always use the table above when shopping from US retailers.
No. A US women's 8 is normally an AU/UK 6.5. Australian women's shoe sizing follows the UK system, which is usually 1.5 sizes lower than US women's sizing.
US women's 9 is normally AU/UK 7.5, with an approximate EU size of 39.5 and foot length around 24.1 cm.
AU women's 8 is normally US women's 9.5. If you are buying from a US retailer, add 1.5 sizes to your Australian size.
Most Australian retailers use AU/UK sizing for women's shoes. International retailers may show US, EU, or brand-specific sizing, so always compare the size label with the foot length in centimetres.
