Conversion Details

Understanding Adidas sizing compared to Nike is essential for getting the right fit. The converter uses the following conversion logic based on how these brands actually fit:

  • Nike to Adidas: Add 0.5 size (Does Nike run smaller than Adidas? Yes, Nike typically runs about half a size larger, so you'll need a bigger Adidas size)
  • Adidas to Nike: Subtract 0.5 size (Does Adidas run bigger than Nike? No, Adidas actually runs smaller, so you'll need a smaller Nike size)

For example:

  • Nike EU 42 = Adidas EU 42.5
  • Adidas EU 43 = Nike EU 42.5

Note: These conversions are general guidelines. Individual foot shape, shoe model, and personal fit preferences may affect the actual size you need. Always try shoes on when possible or consult brand-specific sizing charts for the most accurate fit.
