Vans Shoe Size Guide
Vans run true to size in length across the Old Skool, Sk8-Hi, Authentic and Era families - so your usual US, UK or EU size in another mainstream brand will translate one-to-one. The trade-off is width: the classic vulcanised silhouettes have a fairly narrow toe box, which is why wide-footed wearers often size up a half.
Use the converter below to translate any Vans US size into UK, EU, JP, KR, CN, AU and MX. Like Converse, Vans use a unisex sizing scale on most styles, so the men’s number is what is printed on the box.

Frequently asked questions
Do Vans shoes run true to size?
Yes - for length. Vans fit true to size on the men’s US scale across Old Skool, Sk8-Hi, Authentic and Era, so order your usual size. If you wear thick socks or have a wider foot, many wearers size up half a size for extra forefoot room.
Are Vans men’s and women’s sizes the same?
Most core Vans styles use a unisex last labelled with both men’s and women’s US sizes. Women’s = men’s + 1.5, so a men’s US 7 is roughly a women’s US 8.5. The shoe itself is identical - only the label differs.
Do Vans run narrow?
The classic vulcanised silhouettes (Old Skool, Sk8-Hi, Authentic) have a fairly narrow toe box compared with skate-specific rivals. ComfyCush and UltraRange lines feel noticeably roomier. Wide-footed wearers usually size up half a size in the classics.
Sizes are approximate and may vary by Vans model. Always check the product-page size chart before buying.
