How Japanese Shoe Sizing Works
Japanese shoe sizes use centimeters (CM), measuring the actual foot length. This makes sizing more precise than US/UK numerical systems.
Shoe Width Indicators
Japanese shoes often include width measurements:
- E: Narrow width
- EE (2E): Standard/Medium width
- EEE (3E): Wide width
- EEEE (4E): Extra wide width
How to Measure Your Foot
- Stand on paper with heel against wall
- Mark longest toe position
- Measure from wall to mark in centimeters
- Add 0.5-1.0 cm for comfort
- Round up to nearest 0.5 cm
Shopping Tips
- Japanese shoe stores always use CM - know your measurement
- Sizes typically available in 0.5cm increments (22.5, 23.0, 23.5, etc.)
- Consider width - Western feet may need E or EEE widths
- Popular brands: ASICS, Onitsuka Tiger, Mizuno use CM sizing
π‘ Pro Tip:
Most Japanese shoe stores have sizing measurement tools. Staff will help measure your feet in CM for perfect fit.
