Why size charts disagree
“EU” sizes on most labels follow the French numbering, so UK 10 = EU 38. German brands use numbers 2 lower (UK 10 = DE 36), and some charts call those “EU” too. If a German brand’s 36 fits you, look for 38 at most other brands. Brands also differ slightly, so check the shop’s own chart when you are between sizes.
