Questions shoppers ask
What is EU 42 in US size?
EU 42 is a US men's 8.5 and a US women's 10, based on Nike's published footwear charts.

Not always. Brands map their own lasts to size numbers, so the same foot can be half a size different between labels. Measure your foot length in centimetres and compare it with the store's chart when one is available.
