This article explains exactly how our sizing works, with a special focus on EU decimal (half) sizes and their corresponding UK sizes shown in our size chart
Our goal is full transparency so customers can confidently select the correct size before checkout.
How to Measure Your Foot Correctly
To select the best size:
-
Place your foot flat on a piece of paper
-
Mark the tip of your longest toe and the back of your heel
-
Measure the distance between the two points in centimeters (cm)
-
Match your measurement to the Foot Length column
Measure both feet and always use the larger measurement.
Important Overview: How We Size Our Shoes
-
EU half / decimal sizes (e.g., 38.5, 40.5, 42.5) and their corresponding UK sizes are not manufactured or shipped.
Whenever an EU size includes a decimal, it is automatically rounded up to the next full EU size to ensure a comfortable fit.
For example: if you order a UK 6.5, which corresponds to an EU 40.5, we will ship a UK 7 (EU 41) instead.
This sizing policy applies across the entire size chart, including all larger sizes.

How Rounding Works (Based on Our Size Chart)
- If the EU size shown in the chart contains .5, we round UP, never down.

|---|---|---|
| UK 5.5 | EU 38.5 | EU 39 |
| UK 6.5 | EU 40.5 | EU 41 |
| UK 8 | EU 42.5 | EU 43 |
| UK 9.5 | EU 44.5 | EU 45 |
| UK 10.5 | EU 45.5 | EU 46 |
| UK 11.5 | EU 46.5 | EU 47 |
| UK 12 | EU 47.5 | EU 48 |
| UK 13 | EU 48.5 | EU 49 |
| UK 14 | EU 49.5 | EU 50 |
Why don’t you round down instead?
Rounding down often results in shoes feeling tight or uncomfortable, especially for:
-
Boots
-
Closed-toe shoes
-
Winter footwear
Rounding up provides a safer and more comfortable fit.
Can I request an exact EU half size?
No. EU half sizes are not available, and we cannot customize sizing.
Can I change my size after placing an order?
Size changes are not guaranteed once an order is placed. However, you may contact our support team with your order number as soon as possible at email: help@shoesrowan.com or by using the Contact Us option. We will check whether a size change can be accommodated before the order is processed.
