Foot length (cm) = (EU - 2) ÷ 1.5, then US men's = 3 × foot length (in) - 22, with 1 in = 2.54 cm. The result is rounded to the nearest half size, following the ISO/TS 19407 formulas.
Example
Inputs: EU size = 42. Result: US men's size: 9.5; Exact value before rounding: 9.5; Approximate foot length: 26.7 cm.

Questions about this tool
What is EU 42 in US men's sizes?
It is US men's 9.5 using the ISO/TS 19407 formulas; the exact value before rounding is 9.5, which fits a foot of about 26.7 cm.
Why does a brand's chart differ from this EU to US men's 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 do some results come out as half sizes?
EU steps are 2/3 cm while US steps are 1/3 inch (about 0.85 cm), so the scales rarely line up and the result is rounded to the nearest half size.
