Size Chart: Canadian, US & European Sizes

Quick answer

Canadian vs US sizes

Canadian and US clothing and shoe sizes are the same. Most brands sold in Canada, including adidas, Nike, PING, FootJoy and Under Armour, use US sizing. A men's medium, a 34" waist or a size 10 shoe in Canada is the same as in the US. UK and European sizes are different, so use the charts below to convert them.
