How this Adidas → Vans chart actually maps

Adidas US 10 is 27.1 cm and the nearest Vans US is also 10 (EU 44). The printed ladder is 1:1 from US 6 (23.5 cm) through US 13 (29.7 cm). The wear-box “Adidas 10 ≈ Vans 10.0” is that centimeter match — it does not say Samba OG and Old Skool share a last. Both columns print EU 44 at that US 10.

Samba OG is TTS length but narrow; Gazelle often feels a half long for narrow/average feet; Campus 00s and Ultraboost 1.0 follow their own volume. Vans skate lasts on this site are low-volume with a shallow toebox: Old Skool, Authentic, Classic Slip-On, and Sk8-Hi are linked as TTS length, with Authentic the slimmer sibling. A chart-matched Samba 10 can still pinch in Old Skool; a Gazelle you already half-down can feel short in the same Vans 9.5.

Convert from the Adidas size that fits in length. If you half-up Samba for width, do not treat that larger number as the Vans ticket. If you already downsize Gazelle, do not auto-downsize Old Skool — Gazelle’s length-down is a terrace quirk. Half a size on this table is 26.7 → 27.1 → 27.5 cm. Spend it on Vans volume (or Vans Wides where offered), not on stacking two brand habits.

Model fit matters

FAQ

How do I convert Adidas shoe size to Vans?
Match by foot length in centimeters on each brand’s chart. Example: Adidas US 10 ≈ Vans US 10.0 (about 27.1 cm). Then adjust for the specific model’s fit (runs big/small/narrow).
Is a Adidas US 10 the same as a Vans US 10?
Not always. Labels can map to slightly different foot lengths. Use the cm column, then check model guides on both brands.
Which direction should I read first?
Start from the brand you already wear, then open the model fit pages linked below — lasts differ even when charts match.

Clothes sizing uses a separate compare path.
