Do Italian shoes run big or small?

You might be wondering, do Italian shoes run big or small? Yes, Italian shoes do tend to run smaller than US shoe sizes. Almost every European shoe is slightly smaller than the US or UK shoe sizes. For example, US size 8 is equivalent to size 38 in Europe and it is still slightly small.

European nations’ shoe sizes always run smaller than other nations, such as US and UK as they follow their own sizing pattern based on the European shoe sizing system.
