Many Chinese shoe listings show foot length in centimeters or millimeters. Use that number before trusting the printed CN or EU-style label.
Quick answer: A 25.0 cm foot is about CN 40, US women's 9 or US men's 7. A 27.0 cm foot is about CN 43 or US men's 9.5.
If a listing shows 250 mm, read it as 25.0 cm and compare the foot-length row first.
If your foot is between two centimeter values, use the larger size unless the seller says the shoe runs large.
Chinese marketplace shoe labels often look like EU sizes, but centimeter length is the safer fit signal.
US men's and women's shoe labels differ for the same Chinese size.
This page answers one specific size search intent. For the best fit, start with the linked main converter and use the centimeter measurements on the Chinese chart whenever they are available.
Marketplace labels are useful shortcuts, but brand charts, garment type, fabric stretch and body measurements can change the final fit. Treat the lookup as a nearest match, not a guaranteed size.
Chinese size labels are practical lookup shortcuts, not universal brand guarantees. A CN shoe label, clothing size, bra code or Taobao chart row can vary by seller, product category, last shape, fabric stretch and whether the chart shows body measurements or garment measurements.
When possible, use the centimeter value first: foot length for shoes, bust/waist/hip for clothing, under-bust and cup difference for bras, and the specific Taobao chart row for marketplace listings. Then use the converter result as the nearest US, UK or EU match.
