Mens 6.5 is what size in womens

We broke down men’s vs. women’s shoe size so you can grab the information you need to find your perfect fit.

Knowing your shoe size in other conversions might come in handy more than you think. For example, if you’re a woman shopping for a unisex shoe or you like a men’s style of shoe then chances are you’re going to want to know how to convert your women’s to men’s shoe size. Whatever the case is, our conversion chart has the answers you need. Get the lowdown on men’s vs women’s shoe size.

Generally speaking, there’s a 1.5-size difference in length between women and men shoes (ladies, if you’re a size 8.5, you’d be a size 7 in men’s shoes) but the width size remains the same (so if you’re a women’s D, you’re also a men’s D).

How Should Running Shoes Fit?

Glad you asked! In one answer: Bigger! In fact, you’ll want to get shoes that are a half size bigger than your usual size. Generally, you want your running shoes to feel a little roomier than your casual footwear unless you’re looking to push the pace and break your PR. This page covers everything you should be looking for in a running shoe fit.

What If My Fit Is Almost Just Right?

Agh, so frustrating! So, you have the perfect running shoe for you, but the fit is just not quite there, here are a few strategies you can try to dial in your ideal feel.

• Use these running shoe lacing tips to make minor tweaks that can tighten shoes with high insteps and roomy shoes with excess volume. The lace-locking method is a solid means for keeping annoying heel slippage at bay.
• Your socks affect your fit, too; chunky, thick socks will take up space if you’re looking for a tighter feel. Make sure you have the right socks for your needs.
