Women's to Men's US Shoe Size Conversion
Women's US sizes are typically 1.5 size steps above men's US for the same foot length — women's US 10 ≈ men's US 8.5. Unisex shoes (Converse, Vans) often use men's sizing on the label; always check whether the chart is men's, women's, or unisex before converting.
