What is the NoStrain men's leather sandals size chart?
A men's leather sandals size chart matches your foot length in centimetres to a sandal size. NoStrain's chart covers UK 6 to 11 and lists the US and EU equivalent for each size. It applies to the parallel strap, buckle and back strap leather sandals for men, which have a pure leather upper and a genuine suede insole.
| UK size (brand size) | US size | EU size | Foot length to fit (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 7 | 40 | 26 to 26.5 |
| 7 | 8 | 41 | 26.6 to 27.1 |
| 8 | 9 | 42 | 27.2 to 27.6 |
| 9 | 10 | 43 | 27.7 to 28.3 |

Which size should I order?
Short answer: measure your longer foot, find its length in the right-hand c
olumn, and order the UK size in that row. A foot of 27.0 cm falls in the UK 7 row, which covers 26.6 to 27.1 cm. If your length sits on the edge of two rows, contact us before you order.
Four examples of how to read the table:
- A foot of 26.3 cm takes UK 6, which is US 7 and EU 40.
- A foot of 27.4 cm takes UK 8, which is US 9 and EU 42.
- A foot of 28.0 cm takes UK 9, which is US 10 and EU 43.
- A foot of 28.7 cm takes UK 10, which is US 11 and EU 44.
How do I measure my foot at home?
Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, mark your longest toe, and measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres. Repeat for both feet and use the longer result. You need only paper, a pen and a ruler.
- Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe. It is not always the big toe.
- Measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres.
- Repeat for the other foot and keep the longer number.
- Find that number in the table above.
Why measure in the afternoon and standing up?
Feet change size during the day. According to Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, feet may swell a little towards evening, and most people have one foot bigger than the other. Penn State PRO Wellness, summarising advice from US orthopaedic and podiatric bodies, adds that feet expand under body weight. It recommends fitting to the larger foot.
UK, US and EU sizes: how do they compare?
On this chart the US size is one higher than the UK size, and the EU size is 34 higher. UK 9 is therefore US 10 and EU 43. These offsets describe NoStrain's chart only, because other brands set their own conversions.
Which column should I read?
- Read the UK column if your current footwear is labelled in UK sizes.
- Read the US column if your sizes come from a US label.
- Read the EU column if you usually buy European sizes.
- Read the cm column if you are unsure, or if your size changes between brands.
How do the straps help with fit?
Parallel strap sandals close with dual hook-and-loop straps, buckle sandals hav
e adjustable buckles, and back strap sandals have an adjustable strap behind the heel. Straps fine-tune the fit after you pick a size from the chart, so measure first and adjust second. A reviewer on the LS16 page says the dual buckles make it easy to get a secure, customised fit.
Three pairs to start with:
- Slate Grey parallel strap sandals, LS02
- Olive Green buckle sandals, LS17
- Camel back strap sandals, LS21

Frequently asked questions
What size is UK 8 in NoStrain men's leather sandals in US and EU?
UK 8 is US 9 and EU 42 in the NoStrain chart. It fits a foot length of 27.2 to 27.6 cm. Brands convert sizes differently, so check the centimetre length rather than relying on the number alone, especially if your usual size comes from another brand.
How do I measure my foot length for sandals?
Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, mark the tip of your longest toe, and measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres. Repeat for the other foot and use the longer number. Measure in the afternoon, since feet swell a little during the day.
What if my foot length falls between two sizes?
The ranges on the chart run without gaps, so a length such as 27.15 cm sits close to the edge of two sizes. Contact NoStrain before you order and share your measurement. Product pages state a 7-day return and replacement window from delivery.
Is a UK size the same as a US size on this chart?
No. US size is one higher than UK, so UK 9 is US 10. EU size runs 34 higher than UK, so UK 9 is EU 43. These offsets hold only within NoStrain's chart, because other brands set their own conversions.
