📏 Convert Your Size
👟 Converted size
Fit note for hoops:basketball shoes should fit snug for lockdown and lateral support — aim for about a thumb's width (~1 cm) of space at the toe, with the heel locked in. If you play in thick socks or wear ankle braces, or between sizes, size up a half. Brands and silhouettes vary (Nike, adidas, and Under Armour all run slightly differently), so try before a long run when you can.
Get the size right before you lace up
Basketball is hard on your feet — quick cuts, jumps, and landings demand a shoe that locks your foot in place. The wrong size means blisters at best and rolled ankles at worst, so it pays to translate your size correctly when you shop across regions or brands.
This converter maps your size across the five systems you'll see on shoe boxes and listings, anchored to the standard Nike/Jordan basketball chart with foot length in centimeters as the physical reference. Measure your foot for the most reliable result.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert my basketball shoe size?
Pick the size system you already know — US men's, US women's, UK, EU, or centimeters of foot length — enter your size, and the tool shows the matching size in every other system. It snaps to the nearest size on the published Nike/Jordan basketball chart.
What's the difference between US men's and women's sizing?
US women's sizes run about 1.5 sizes larger than US men's for the same physical shoe. So a US men's 7 is roughly a US women's 8.5. Many basketball shoes are sold in men's or unisex sizing, so knowing the offset helps women and juniors find the right fit.
How should basketball shoes fit?
Snug, for support and lockdown, but not painful. Aim for about a thumb's width — roughly one centimeter — of space at the toe, with your heel locked in place so your foot doesn't slide on hard cuts. If you play in thick socks or ankle braces, or you fall between sizes, size up a half.
Do sizes vary between brands?
Yes. Nike, adidas, Under Armour, and others each run slightly differently, and even models within a brand can differ. This converter uses the widely published Nike/Jordan chart as a baseline; when you can, try the specific shoe on or check that model's own size guide before buying.
