How this Converse → Vans chart actually maps

Converse US 10 is 27.4 cm and the nearest Vans US is 10 (EU 44). The wear-box “Converse 10 ≈ Vans 10.0” is that match. It is not the same centimeter as Nike’s 27.1 at US 10. Converse US 6 prints 23.8 cm here; Vans on sibling brand tables often sit at 23.5 for US 6. The US numbers line up on this page, but the Converse column is the longer-labeled last.

Chuck Taylor/Chuck 70 are long canvas with heel-slip complaints; Vans skate lasts (Old Skool, Authentic, Slip-On) are low-volume with a shallow toebox. Same US 10 after the cm match can still feel tighter in Authentic than in a Chuck you already half-down. If you already size down in Chucks, convert from the size that actually fits — a Chuck 9.5 is 26.9 cm on this table, which still maps to Vans 9.5, not an extra half for “Vans run small.”

Old Skool vs Authentic on this site is a separate +0 model bridge: both TTS, Authentic slimmer. Do not add a Converse-brand offset on top of a Vans-model offset. Wide feet: Vans Wides or one half-up, not a Chuck downsize plus a Vans upsize. Converse 9.5 is 26.9 cm; 10 is 27.4; 10.5 is 27.8 — wider steps than a typical Nike half.

Model fit matters

FAQ

How do I convert Converse shoe size to Vans?
Match by foot length in centimeters on each brand’s chart. Example: Converse US 10 ≈ Vans US 10.0 (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 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.
