Size Selection Tips

  • For shoes, consider foot width. Go half size up if you have wide feet.
  • Tops and bottoms may have different meanings for the same number. Convert each separately.

  • Sneakers may run smaller than regular shoes. Consider half size up.

FAQ

What's the difference between Korean and US sizes?

Korea uses chest/waist circumference in cm (85, 90, 95), while the US uses letters (XS-XL) or even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8). Korean 95 equals US M, and Korean 100 is close to US L.

How do I measure shoe size?

Stand barefoot with heel against a wall and measure to your longest toe in mm. For example, 250mm is Korean 250, US men's 7, EU 40. Measure both feet and use the larger one.

Does EU sizing differ by country?

Europe mostly uses unified EU sizing, but some countries like Italy or France may have their own. Most global brands follow standard EU sizing.

Why are men's and women's size standards different?

Different size systems reflect body shape differences. Men's sizes use chest/waist (85, 90, 95), women's use numbers like 44, 55, 66, 77, 88 or letters (S, M, L).

Are Japanese sizes the same as Korean?

Similar but not identical. For shoes, Japan uses cm (25.0cm) while Korea uses mm (250mm) - same actual size. For clothing, Japan primarily uses S, M, L, with Korean 95 roughly matching Japanese M.

Why do sizes differ between online stores?

Each brand has its own fit and design philosophy, so the same labeled size may have different actual measurements. Always check detailed measurements for accurate purchases.
