Hello! I’m still struggling to figure out the conversion between EU and Japanese shoe sizes. Back home, I almost always wore EU 42. Occasionally I could fit into EU 43, but EU 42 has consistently been my proper size.
When I first arrived in Japan, I checked some charts that listed JP 26 as EU 42—or even 42.5. But I recently discovered that JP 26 is more widely considered to be EU 41. Which means I might have been buying shoes a size too small this whole time!
It’s so frustrating because I can’t seem to find a clear, consistent answer on what EU 42 actually corresponds to in Japan. If anyone else with a similar size has dealt with this, I’d love to hear your input. Thanks in advance!
