Use this lookup when a Chinese marketplace listing shows a shoe size such as CN 38, CN 40 or CN 43.
Quick answer: Chinese shoe sizes are often close to EU labels. CN 40 is about US women's 9 or US men's 7; CN 43 is about US men's 9.5.
CN 38 is about US women's 7.5, with foot length around 24.0 cm.
CN 44 is about US men's 10.5, with foot length around 27.5 cm.
Use foot length when the seller provides it.
Wide feet may need a wider last or a half-size adjustment.
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.
