Italian shoes are arguably the highest quality shoes in the world. Made with the highest-quality materials and craftsmanship - using techniques and skills that have been passed down for generations, the prestige of the shoes is globally recognized.  However, sizing typically does vary from country to country. 

ITALIAN --> U.S. SIZE GUIDE

Italian sizing runs based on length (in centimeters). While many people think that it converts by just dropping the 30 or 40 (ie a 39 is a US 9) that is NOT the case. Below is a size chart for reference but note that Italian shoes do tend to have a narrower, longer fit than U.S. made shoes to create a more elegant style - if you lean toward a wider fit you might want to size up!
