Hoka and Nike can use different UK and EU labels for the same US size. These tables compare the labels without assuming that every model fits alike.

Read these as label comparisons
Each row compares the same US size number within one category. These are not measured-foot-length equivalents or a guarantee that the shoes fit identically. Use the manufacturer’s measurement instructions and the product’s own chart to choose a size.
How to use the comparison
For men’s US 8, Hoka lists UK 7.5 / EU 41 1/3 while Nike lists UK 7 / EU 41. Women’s US 8 is Hoka UK 6 / EU 39 1/3 and Nike UK 5.5 / EU 39. Check both the sizing system and the men’s or women’s category.
Nike distinguishes the CM/JP number printed on a box from its measured foot-length column. Use the foot-length instructions in the current Nike chart; do not treat every number marked CM as a direct measurement of your foot.
A universal claim that Nike is narrower or a fixed amount shorter than Hoka is not a substitute for checking the exact shoe. Compare width options and try the model with the socks you plan to wear.
Check model-specific Hoka sizing
Hoka flags a women’s UK-sizing change for the Clifton 10, Arahi 8 and Challenger 8. Its all-gender conversions also vary by model. Check those notes before applying the general chart above.
Before choosing your size
Measure both feet while standing and use the longer measurement with the brand’s current chart. Try the shoes with the socks you will wear. Check that your heel is secure, your toes have space and the upper does not pinch.
