A women's US shoe size doesn't convert to EU by a fixed formula — the chart below is anchored to foot length in centimeters. As a reference point, a US women's 8 is an EU 39.
Women's shoe sizing in the US runs in half-size steps, while EU sizing is built around whole numbers tied to foot length in centimeters. A US women's 5 is an EU 36, a US 8 is an EU 39, and a US 11 is an EU 42 — each EU size covers a narrow foot-length band rather than a fixed offset from the US number, which is why brands round slightly differently near the half-sizes.
If your foot length in cm is closer to the boundary between two EU sizes, the "measure your foot" tool on the main shoe converter is more reliable than reading the US number alone — foot-length cm is the one column in this chart that doesn't change by brand.

A women's US 8 is an EU 39, corresponding to a foot length of about 24.5 cm.
No — it's a lookup table anchored to foot length in centimeters, not a simple offset, which is why this converter looks up each size rather than calculating it.
No — men's and women's US scales differ by about two sizes for the same foot length, so mixing this chart with a men's US size will be wrong. Use the men's US-to-EU converter instead.
