Adidas size chart
Adidas uses thirds of EU sizes: after 38 comes 38 2/3, then 39 1/3. The men's and women's charts are the same table – only the US number differs.
- Between sizes: one down for a snug fit, one up for a loose fit (Adidas's advice).
- EU 40 2/3 isn't '40 and a half' – it's two thirds of a size, ~0.45 cm longer than 40.
