Are Japanese shoe sizes in centimetres?

Yes. Japanese sizing is the foot length in centimetres, which makes it the easiest system to convert from a measurement.

Do heels fit differently?

Higher heels push the foot forward, so many people take a half size up in heels compared with trainers.

Why sizes differ between countries

Size labels come from national fit blocks developed decades ago from different population surveys. The US and UK use garment-based numbering, most of Europe derives sizes from body measurements in centimetres, and Japan, Korea and China use their own regional standards. Because no global standard exists, matching your measurements to the chart is always more reliable than matching the label.
