Use CN 43 when a shoe page shows a 27.0 cm foot length or EU-style size 43.
If your foot is wide, check whether the seller offers a wide last before sizing up.
CN shoe labels often look like EU sizes, but foot length is more reliable.
Brand charts may vary by half a 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.
