Foot length and how to measure
On Nike's charts, a men's 5.5 fits a foot 23.3 cm long and a women's 5.5 fits 22.4 cm.
Where a maker prints a foot length, a men's 5.5 runs from 23.3 cm at Nike to 24.6 cm at Valentino.
For a women's 5.5 it runs from 22 cm at Vans to 23 cm at Maison Margiela.
To measure, stand on a sheet of paper, mark your heel and the tip of your longest toe, and measure between the marks. Do both feet and use the longer one.
