    FAQs

    Why +28 for women's?

    UK uses dress size numbers (8, 10, 12) while EU uses bust-in-cm-divided-by-2 plus offset. The +28 rule is a coincidence that gives an easy mental math conversion.

    Does UK shoe sizing match EU?

    No, footwear differs significantly. UK shoe size + ~1.5 = EU. UK 8 = EU 42. Always check the shoe-specific conversion table for footwear.
