Hiya. Just a bit of help.

I'm a size 6 shoe in all sorts of styles. I'm completely confuddled about what size Converse to buy online. It says they come up large, yet the cm length of my foot is too long for a size 6. If you wear Converse can you please tell me your usual shoe size, plus your Converse one?

Thanks. Posting AIBU for traffic

They are UK sizes when you select the size you want, it all became overly complicated when I double checked the sizing chart!!!

Everyone agree with a 6.5?

And if my son is a 4 in Clarks, a size 5 Nike +Father Christmas bought growing room) do you think a size 5 for him? He comes up as 24cm but that's a size 6, which I am not going to buy him!

I’m between a 4 and 5 and usually but 4.5 in converse. I didn’t know they’re meant to come up large and been wearing them for about 20 years.

I'm an 11 (yes, I'm a woman with clown feet!) and buy either an 11 or 11.5, depends what's available as there are far fewer options at my size. 11 is slightly tight, 11.5 slightly too loose. I wear socks with the loose ones!

Depends on the style. In Dainty I had to go up a size.

Username12353784 · 13/02/2021 20:01

I’m a 7 and 7 converse fit fine.

Mrsfussypants1 · 13/02/2021 20:04

Size 4 and wear size 4 converse. Same size for hightop, low and leather styles. I have narrow feet.

PrivateParty · 13/02/2021 21:05

I'm a 6 but my converse have been 5s..

Galvantulang · 13/02/2021 21:07

6/6

PurpleDaisies · 13/02/2021 21:08

5 and 5. They are are only shoes that always fit perfectly.

delilahbucket · 13/02/2021 21:16

I'm a 6 and buy 6 in Converse, however I have very narrow feet and that is why I like the brand as they are narrow. Go half a size up if your feet are average width, it's minimal in terms of measurement but will make a difference.

FrankGrillosFloof · 13/02/2021 21:17

5 and 5

Juliepops05 · 13/02/2021 21:19

I accidentally bought one size up and they were too big so I'd say they are true to sizeSmile

SusannaSpider · 13/02/2021 21:25

8 and 8 in Converse. I don't have narrow feet, but Converse always fit straight out of the box, one of the few things I can buy online that always fit.
I'm not sure about the Nike/Clarks comparison, DD wears an 8 in both Nike and Converse.

TurquoiseDragon · 13/02/2021 21:26

My feet are too wide for Converse, sadly. I would love some.

heidihigh · 13/02/2021 21:28

I'm a 4 and my converse are a 4 but be aware they are ridiculously narrow so if you have wide feet they may not be the shoe for you!

PurpleDragons · 13/02/2021 21:30

I’m a size 8 and wear size 7 in converse

BornOnTwelthNight · 13/02/2021 21:34

I’m a 3.5 and either have to size up or size down depending on type/ brand of shoe as it’s not easy to get half sizes. I wear a 4 in converse.

Enidblyton1 · 13/02/2021 21:39

As others have said, Converse are pretty spot on with length.

If you have wider than average feet you might find them a bit tight. I’m a very narrow 6.5 and the Converse 6.5 fit me perfectly.

BornOnTwelthNight · 13/02/2021 21:40

Mind you having said that I did have a pair of Boys Junior Converse that were size 4 (Dh was given them) and they were stupidly big on both me and my daughter who is a size 4.

Maybe boys shoes come up bigger?

CurlyMango · 13/02/2021 22:04

I’m a 5.5 and buy a 6 which fits perfectly

FlamingGreatGalaahs · 13/02/2021 23:05

I buy my normal size. But they are really not comfortable shoes. Too narrow & flat.

LouiseTrees · 13/02/2021 23:13

I’m a 5.5 but I buy a 6

Pippa234 · 13/02/2021 23:18

I think they come up small, I am a 5, I buy a 5.5.

dingoesatemybaby · 13/02/2021 23:18

I'm a 5/5.5 and buy a 6. I find converse come up small

BikeRunSki · 13/02/2021 23:25

Size 8.5, buy an 8 in Cons. I think it might be a “men’s 8” and slightly bigger than a “lady’s 8”.
