Questions about this tool

What is a 25 cm foot in EU sizes?

It is EU 39.5 using the ISO/TS 19407 formulas; the exact value before rounding is 39.5.

Why does a brand's chart differ from this foot length in cm to EU result?

Each brand rounds its sizes and builds its lasts its own way, so its chart can be up to one size off. Measuring your foot in cm is the most reliable check.

Why is the EU size not just 1.5 times my foot length?

EU sizes measure the shoe last, which is about two sizes (4/3 cm) longer than the foot, so the formula adds 2 to 1.5 × foot length.
