It's weird - Nike, Wikipedia and a bunch of other places are very clear that they treat a UK Size 9 as a US Size 10. This is fairly constant throughout sizes - that US ones are generally counted 1 size larger than UK ones.

However, for some very weird reason Converse counts a UK size 10 as a US size 10. Infact they do not differentiate between the two regions. 

So if you buy virtually any other trainer, the US size will be 1 digit higher, but with Converse it isn't. 

Just a weird warning to anyone else who might end up buying converse trainers from abroad. 

Regarding this issue - we ordered a UK9 and got a UK10, so that note is somewhat moot, except for the fact that when we selected a UK9 and it showed on the order as a US10 we didn't expect that to mean UK10.

Also to note, a friend's husband wanted this really obscure colour that sold out in the UK really quickly. So we had to use this company.

Also its only the standard Chuck Taylor Converse with the small sizing. Other Converse trainers are standard sizing.

I always check the EU size on many trainers as its easier and more consistent. But the conversion from EU to UK isn't standard either, Nike class UK 9 as 44 but Adidas a EU 44 is a UK 9.5.
Then with Converse Chucks a US 10 is a UK 10 but EU 44, but in other shoes US 10 is UK 9 and EU 44 (matching Nike).

So instead of me working out if I need a UK 9, 9.5 or 10, I'll generally now try EU 44 first.

Wow. Why only that one particular style which has different sizing? Sounds like a way of intentionally causing problems.
