The traditional system is similar to British sizes but start counting at one rather than zero, so
equivalent sizes are one greater.
The calculation for a male shoe size in the United States is:
male shoe size (barleycorns) = 3 × last length (in) − 24
equivalent to:
male shoe size (barleycorns) ≈ 3 × foot length (in) − 22 .
In the "standard" or "FIA" (Footwear Industries of America) scale, women's sizes are men's
sizes plus 1 (so a men's 10.5 is a women's 11.5):
female shoe size (barleycorns) = 3 × last length (in) − 23
equivalent to:
female shoe size (barleycorns) ≈ 3 × foot length (in) − 21 .
There is also the "common" scale, where women's sizes are equal to men's sizes
plus 1.5.
Children's
Children's sizes are equal to men's sizes plus 12 1⁄3. Children's sizes do not differ by
gender even though adults' do:
child shoe size (barleycorns) = 3 × last length (in) − 11 2⁄3
equivalent to:
child shoe size (barleycorns) ≈ 3 × foot length (in) − 161⁄3.
Children's shoe stores in the United States use a sizing scheme which ends
at 13, after which the adult range starts at 1. Alternatively, a scale running
from K4 to K13 and then 1 to 7 is in use.[3] K4 to K9 are toddler sizes, K10 to
3 are pre-school and 1 to 7 are grade school sizes.
