Regine,
the general rule is 1.5 to 2 sizes up from a men’s size I take a men’s 10 and a women’s 12 I find this to be true for heels, flats and boots. Now what to watch for in boots is width. I prefer a wider boot to make it easier to get them on. I use inserts if they feel too loose. Hope this helps.
leah
Oh Really interesting something else learnt from across the pond unless you’re all screwing with me lol
Here in the UK its 1 size down, I am blessed with small feet for a man and wear a size 7 and womens shoes a size 6 thats across the board shoes and boots.

One reason may be to accommodate wearing socks. 1/2 size sounds about right.
Anyway, one thing to really watch out for is the sizing of the calf area of the boot. A number of online stores include a calf measurement and there are also models that are billed as have a wide calf if you have larger legs.
In general I would be careful with assuming a 2 size difference. For many people, including me, the difference is 1 to 1 1/2 sizes. However, the best way is to go by measurements. Just about all online shoe stores will have a measurements chart. I posted one here a while ago in this section from Nordstroms. The title is Shoe Sizing…
In men’s shoes I wear 9 1/2 to 10. My longest foot measures 10 1/2” to 10 9/16”. Comparing that to women’s shoes, it is a size 11. It is fine for open toe, open heel or both. However, closed shoes are a bit difficult as I need a W width and the majority of women’s shoes are only available in an M, or medium width (aka B width). Those require some stretching.
Anyway, there are lots of shoe threads here. Happy Searching!
I wear a 12 Wide in men’s shoes, 13 W in ladies’ shoes; I’ve only found two pairs of boots in this size, both ankle boots, and they are quite comfortable.
I know there’s plenty of formulas for converting male-female but I’ve had mixed results.
Case in point. Recently bought 2 boots, identical size and style just different colours. One fit snug, the other is impossible for me to put on and now belongs to my wife. Both ladies 11.
My SO wears a size 10 ladies and many of her pumps,boots and shoes fit me just fine.
When I buy shoes/boots online, I’m always prepared to return them, but usually my wife or daughter will like them and fit them so they don’t get returned and it’s back shopping for me.
i buy all mine in the store, but i believe they have different sizes all over the world. chinas size 10 might be smaller than american size 10. depends where they were made.
Depends where you are.
US, UK, Euro are all different.
And also mens and womens are different here too
In Oz, a 6 mens is an 8 ladies, and both about 38/39 in euro sizing.
US different again.
