Sock Size Chart – Shoe Size to Sock Size (AU, US, UK, EU)
This sock size chart helps you choose the right sock size based on your shoe size, with a simple comparison across Australian (AU), United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), and European (EU) sizing. Because sock fit varies by brand, material, thickness, and stretch, these ranges are best used as a practical starting point rather than an exact universal standard.
Most socks are sized using a shoe size range rather than exact foot measurements. If you are between sizes, many people choose the larger sock size for comfort. For the best fit, compare your usual shoe size with the brand’s sock size guide and consider whether you prefer a snug or roomier fit.

📌 Sock Sizing Tips
- Sock fit varies depending on material, including cotton, wool, bamboo, and synthetic blends, as well as knit stretch.
- Thicker winter socks and cushioned sports socks may feel tighter inside shoes than thinner everyday or dress socks.
- If you are between shoe sizes, many people choose the larger sock size for a more comfortable fit.
- For sports, hiking, or compression socks, check whether the brand sizes by shoe size range, foot length, or alpha size such as S, M, or L.
❓ Common Questions
- Should sock size match shoe size exactly? Not always. Most socks cover a range of shoe sizes, so an approximate match is usually sufficient.
- What if I am between sock sizes? Many people choose the larger size for comfort, especially if the socks are thick or have limited stretch.
- Do men’s and women’s sock sizes use different ranges? Yes. Men’s and women’s sock sizing often differs even when the numeric shoe size looks similar.
- Should kids’ socks be chosen by age or shoe size? Shoe size is usually more reliable than age, because foot growth varies between children.
