Most luxury footwear uses EU sizing. Always refer to the designer’s fit notes, as sizing may vary slightly by brand and style.
How to Measure Your Foot
-
Place your foot flat on a piece of paper against a wall.
-
Mark the tip of your longest toe.
-
Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimeters (cm).
-
Match that measurement to the JP (cm) column in the chart above.
Example explanation you could place below the chart:
The JP column represents foot length in centimeters. If your foot measures approximately 25 cm, you would typically wear EU 39 / US Women 8. Because designer sizing can vary slightly, this method provides the most accurate reference when selecting luxury footwear.
