Shoe Size Chart in Pakistan: UK, EU and US Sizes for Men and Women by Foot Length (cm)

To find your shoe size in Pakistan, measure your foot from heel to longest toe in centimetres, then match it to the brand's chart. On a Pakistani brand's men's chart, a 26.5 cm foot is UK 8, EU 42 and US 8.5. On its women's chart, a 23.5 cm foot is UK 4 and EU 37. The tables below copy these charts from the brand's own size chart pages, read on 4 November 2026.

Shoe sizes in Pakistan are confusing because shops use three systems at once. Local brands often print EU numbers such as 38 or 42. Imported trainers use UK or US numbers. Some women's shoes still carry an older local number from 5 to 14. Foot length in centimetres is the one number that never changes, so start there.

Measure your foot at home in five steps

You need a sheet of paper, a pencil, a wall and a ruler or measuring tape. Measure in the evening, because feet swell a little during the day, and wear the socks you plan to wear with the shoes.

1. Put the paper on a hard floor with one short edge against a wall.
2. Stand on it with your heel touching the wall and your weight on that foot.
3. Ask someone to mark the tip of your longest toe. For many people this is the big toe, but not for everyone.
4. Measure from the wall edge of the paper to the mark in centimetres.
5. Do both feet and use the longer number. Most people have one foot slightly bigger.

If your number falls between two sizes, the men's chart we read advises choosing the larger size. If your feet are wide, it suggests going up half a size.

Men's shoe size chart: UK, EU, US and cm

Men's sizes run from about UK 5.5 (EU 39) to UK 12.5 (EU 47) at most Pakistani shops. This chart is from the men's footwear size chart on Stylo's size chart page. The UK number is half a size below the US number on this chart.

Women's shoe size chart: local, UK, EU and cm

Women's sizes are the most confusing, because one chart can show three different numbers for the same foot. On Stylo's women's chart, the brand's own size 38 equals local size 8, UK 4 and Europe 37, for a 23.5 cm foot.

Notice that the brand's own number is one or more sizes above the European number. That is why a woman who wears "38" in one shop can need "37" in another. Always check which column a shop is using.

Why the same size fits differently in two brands

Every brand builds shoes on its own foot shape, called a last, so a size 42 from one brand can be a little longer or narrower than a 42 from another. The chart is a starting point, not a promise.

• Style matters. The men's chart we read says it may not apply to boots, sandals and sports shoes. Pointed formal shoes and khussas often need a half size up.
• Width matters. Pakistani shops rarely list width. If a shoe pinches at the sides, go up half a size rather than forcing it.
• Imports differ. International trainer brands use their own charts. Read the chart on the brand's page before ordering, as our guide to buying original branded sneakers explains.
• Feet change. Weight change, pregnancy and age can change foot size. Measure again every year or two.

Order shoes online without getting the size wrong

Before you order shoes online, measure your foot, read that brand's chart and check the exchange policy. Shoe exchange windows in Pakistan are short.

Stylo gives 10 days from purchase to exchange in store, and Bata gives 7 days. Bata's policy says sale items are not exchangeable, so on a discounted pair, a wrong size is your loss. Read the full exchange policy on the brand page before you pay. Our guide to online return and refund rights in Pakistan covers the basics. If a seller on a marketplace sends the wrong size, use the Daraz return process rather than arguing on chat.

Common questions

What is UK size 8 in EU size for men in Pakistan?

On the men's chart we read, UK 8 equals EU 42 and US 8.5, for a foot about 26.5 cm long. Check the brand's own chart, as some brands differ by half a size.

What is size 38 in women's shoes in Pakistan?

It depends on the brand. On Stylo's chart, its size 38 equals local 8, UK 4 and Europe 37, for a 23.5 cm foot. Ask which system the shop is using.

Should I buy a bigger size if I am between two sizes?

Yes, usually. The men's chart we read advises the larger size for comfort, and half a size up for wide feet.

What time of day should I measure my feet?

Measure in the evening. Feet swell slightly during the day, so an evening measurement gives a size that stays comfortable.

Can I exchange shoes bought on sale?

Often not. Bata's policy says sale items are not exchangeable. Buy a sale pair only in a size you have already worn in that brand.

Are kids' shoe sizes on the same chart?

No. Children's shoes use a separate chart by age and foot length. See our kids' shoe size by age chart for school shoes.

How we verified this

What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.

We copied the charts from the size chart pages on stylo.pk on 4 November 2026: the women's chart (Stylo size, local size, UK, Europe, cm) and the men's footwear chart (US, UK, EU, cm). The inch column on the women's chart repeats 10.4 for two sizes, so we show centimetres only. Exchange days come from the refund policy pages of Stylo and Bata. Sizes differ between brands and styles, so treat these charts as a guide and use the chart on the product page you are buying from.
