    Sorry if this content is in appropriate for the website, but I think as it has users from India as well as from abroad I would get a correct answer.

    I need to know what the women's US shoe size to India shoe size is.

    I would like to know the US shoe 6 and 5 is in the Indian shoe size.

    Hello, @Gaurav, welcome to the forum!

    Overview

    A typical problem faced by travellers reaching India from other countries is the shoe size conversion. For those who want to indulge in shopping while in India, which is very much a part of every traveller's itinerary, you should learn what the proper conversion sizes are, especially for shoes. It would be quite disappointing buying shoes that won't fit you perfectly or your loved ones nicely, if you don't know the exact sizes for you and your family or friends. Thankfully, most shoes manufacturers have conversion charts, which you can utilise to know what is the equivalent of a particular shoe size to the Indian shoe size.

    Because India was once a colony of the British, certain influences of the latter are still apparent in the former. This also rings true for the Indian shoe sizes, which are exactly the same as the UK shoe sizes. For example, try going to a retailer website like Amazon, click on one shoes style and click on a specific pair of shoes thereafter. Click on the link Shoe Size and you would be taken to a chart depicting the different sizes for UK/India, European and US shoes. UK and India are bundled into just one category because they typically have the same shoe sizes. So if ever you find a site that does not have conversion sizes for India, chances are, it has conversion sizes for UK and you can utilise that instead.

    Conclusion

    These charts provide one with converted shoe sizes for different regions like the US, India, UK and even Europe. This would come in handy for those buying shoes from online shops, or even for those reaching India and shopping in there. These values are not fixed though, as every shoe brand varies when it comes to sizings. Thus, it's best to inquire about the sizes that each brand carries to further know about their specific size for shoes. Good luck and I hope this helps you!

    Is the Indian Shoe Size also applicable to other Asian sizes?

    Countries like China, Japan, Korea have a different shoe size system and generally run a smaller size. So when purchasing from Asian countries, it's always good to make sure you check your size according to their own sizing system.

    It's not just in different countries that shoe sizes differ, sometimes they slightly differ for different brands too. My brother is a shoe size 9 and when buying woodland shoes he has to get a size 10.

    If you're an American planning to travel to India, one of the things you might be wondering about is how to convert your shoe size. After all, you don't want to arrive in India only to find that your shoes don't fit!

    First, it's important to note that shoe sizes can vary slightly from brand to brand, so it's always a good idea to try on shoes before you buy them. That being said, there are some general guidelines you can follow when converting shoe sizes between the United States and India.

    In the United States, shoe sizes are based on the length of the foot in inches, with half sizes available for a more precise fit. In India, shoe sizes are based on the length of the foot in centimeters, with half sizes also available.

    To convert your US shoe size to the Indian equivalent, you'll need to know the length of your foot in centimeters. You can measure your foot at home using a ruler or tape measure, or you can have your foot measured at a shoe store.

    Once you have the length of your foot in centimeters, you can use a conversion chart to find your Indian shoe size. Here's an example chart:

    US Size. India Size
    5 -----------35
    5.5 ---------36
    6------------37
    6.5--------- 38
    7------------39
    7.5----------40
    8------------41
    8.5----------42
    9------------43
    9.5----------44
    10-----------45
    10.5---------46
    11------------47
    11.5----------48
    12------------49
    12.5----------50

    Again, keep in mind that these sizes are approximate and can vary slightly depending on the brand and style of shoe.

    In addition, it's important to note that some countries, including India, use a different sizing system for women's shoes than they do for men's shoes. Women's sizes in India are typically one or two sizes smaller than men's sizes. So if you're a woman converting your US shoe size to Indian sizes, you'll need to take this into account.

    Finally, it's always a good idea to try on shoes before you buy them, especially if you're not familiar with a particular brand or style. This can help ensure a comfortable fit and prevent any shoe-related discomfort during your travels in India.
