How this Converse → Nike chart actually maps

Converse US 10 is 27.4 cm on this table — not Nike’s 27.1 — and the nearest Nike US is 10.5 (EU 44). The wear-box “Converse 10 ≈ Nike 10.5” is that match. Converse US 6 prints 23.8 cm here versus Nike 23.5 on the reverse page. The two brand charts are offset; copying US 10 to US 10 is the usual miss.

If your Chucks already fit at a half-down from your Dunk size, do not convert from the labeled Chuck number as if it were a TTS Nike. Feeding Converse 10 (27.4 cm) into Nike 10.5 is correct for someone whose Chuck 10 actually fits. Someone who wears Chuck 9.5 because the last feels long should convert from 9.5 (26.9 cm → Nike 9.5), not add another half on top.

Chuck 70 vs Chuck Taylor is a canvas-weight difference, not a second centimeter shift on this brand table. Nike side: AF1 often wants half down; Dunk/AJ1 stay TTS. Land on the Nike model after the cm match. Converse 9.5 is 26.9 cm; 10 is 27.4; 10.5 is 27.8. Those steps are larger than Nike’s ~4 mm half — another reason the US labels do not stay 1:1.

FAQ

How do I convert Converse shoe size to Nike?
Match by foot length in centimeters on each brand’s chart. Example: Converse US 10 ≈ Nike US 10.5 (about 27.4 cm). Then adjust for the specific model’s fit (runs big/small/narrow).
Is a Converse US 10 the same as a Nike 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.
