To convert a women's US shoe size to men's, subtract 1.5 from the women's size. For example, a women's US size 9 is approximately a men's US size 7.5. Men's shoes are also typically wider, so fit may vary by brand.
To convert a men's US shoe size to women's, add 1.5 to the men's size. For example, a men's US size 8 is approximately a women's US size 9.5. Keep in mind that width and fit can differ between men's and women's shoes.
European shoe sizes are based on the length of the last (the mold used to construct the shoe) in Paris Points (2/3 of a centimeter). A US women's size 8 is approximately EU 38-39, while a US men's size 9 is approximately EU 42-43. Use the calculator to find your exact EU equivalent.

Yes, men can wear women's shoes. To find the right women's size, subtract 1.5 from your men's US size. For example, a men's US 10 would be a women's US 11.5. Note that women's shoes are typically narrower, so width and comfort should also be considered.
Different countries developed their own sizing systems over time based on different measurement units and standards. The US and UK systems are based on barleycorns (1/3 inch), European sizes use Paris Points (2/3 cm), and some systems simply measure foot length directly in inches or centimeters.
