Description

In this episode of Runnah and Shoe Eating Monster, we’re digging into one of the most frustrating parts of being a runner (or just someone who wears shoes): sizing.

Let’s face it—US and UK sizing is a mess. Between men’s, women’s, brand-specific variations, and constant guessing, it’s nearly impossible to buy shoes online without rolling the dice.

Enter EU sizing.

I break down why the European shoe size system might just be the most logical one out there—and how learning your actual foot length in centimeters can help you get a better fit every time. No more guessing. No more weird conversions. Just a simple formula and a tape measure.

We cover:

  • Why EU sizing is unisex and consistent across brands

  • How to measure your foot correctly (yes, even if you’ve done it before)

  • The formula to calculate your true EU size

  • Why this method is a game changer for buying shoes online—especially used pairs

If you’ve ever been burned by the wrong size or just want to feel more confident snagging your next pair of kicks, this one’s for you.
