Alexander McQueen Shoe Size Guide: IT, UK and US Conversion

Alexander McQueen sizes its shoes on the Italian scale. On the house’s own chart an Italian size converts to UK by subtracting three, and to US by subtracting thirty, so IT 38 is a UK 5 and a US 8. The table below is taken from the size labels McQueen publishes on its UK and US sites for the Fall Winter 2026 shoes.

McQueen shoe size chart

Generic conversion charts vary, so use the house figures above when you order McQueen.

Fit notes by style

• Niko Ankle Boot: IT 35 to 41. Square toe with room across the front. Take your usual size.
• Niko Boot: IT 35 to 41, knee-high with a side zip. Take your usual size; if you have a full calf, check the shaft on the product page before ordering.
• Niko Mary Jane: IT 35 to 42. Two buckled straps make the fit adjustable over the instep.
• Koko Pump: IT 36 to 41. A sharp pointed toe; if you are between sizes, take the larger one.
• Wishbone Creeper: IT 35 to 41, the only McQueen style in the edit with half sizes from 36.5 to 38.5.

McQueen publishes no sizing instruction on any of these styles, so Luxury Handbags marks them true to size. Luxury Handbags lists only the sizes the house actually makes for each style, and the size selector on each product page shows which are in stock. The size and style code inside a real pair should match the box; see how to authenticate McQueen.

How to measure your foot

Stand on a sheet of paper in the evening, when feet are at their largest, and mark the heel and the longest toe. Measure the distance in centimetres and compare it to a shoe you already own in Italian sizing. A known Italian size from another house is a better guide than any foot-length chart.

Clothing sizes are different

McQueen ready-to-wear also uses the Italian ladder, but the conversion is not the same as for shoes: in clothing IT 40 is a UK 8. The Alexander McQueen size guide covers dresses, tailoring and knitwear.
