Magda Butrym shoe size guide: EU to UK and US, half sizes and fit

Magda Butrym cuts its shoes on the Italian scale from EU 35 to 42, and at source it makes half sizes from 35.5 to 41.5. Coveti lists the whole sizes, so a half size goes in the order notes at checkout. The brand states true to size on the pairs where it comments and makes one exception: the crochet ballet flats, which it says have a narrow silhouette and recommends taking half a size bigger than normal. 50 pairs on Coveti, $1,150 to $3,270, median $1,710. This page is the conversion, the fit lines and the heel heights.

Key facts

  • EU 35 to 42 = UK 2 to 9 = US 5 to 12 on the house scale; half sizes 35.5 to 41.5 at source
  • Fit: true to size where the brand comments; the crochet ballet flats run narrow, half a size up
  • Heel heights: ballerina heels 3 cm, almond pumps 4 cm, low slingbacks 4.5 cm, kitten heel mules 5.5 cm, thong heels 8 cm, loom-woven pumps 11.5 cm; flats, flat mules and thong flats sit flat
  • Half sizes at Coveti: add them in the order notes at checkout and the team confirms availability before dispatch
  • Materials that stretch: nappa, kid and sheep leather, suede, nubuck; satin, crochet and embossed calf do not

The conversion

The house scale is the Italian one, so a 38 is a UK 5 and a US 8. Coveti lists the EU size on every pair.

Half sizes

The brand makes 35.5 to 41.5. Coveti lists whole sizes; write the half size in the order notes at checkout and the team confirms it before dispatch. If you are between sizes on a closed shoe, take the larger; on a mule and on a thong, take the smaller.

The fit lines

Where the brand comments it says true to size and to take your regular size. On the crochet ballet flats it says the silhouette is narrow and to take half a size bigger than normal. Everywhere else it directs unsure customers to customer care rather than telling them to size up.

By material

Nappa, kid, sheep, suede and nubuck give a little over the first wears; satin, cotton crochet and embossed calf do not. Buy the satin and crochet pairs to fit on the first try.

The heel heights

From the brand’s pages: 3 cm ballerina heels, 4 cm almond pumps, 4.5 cm low slingbacks, 5.5 cm kitten heel mules, 8 cm thong heel sandals, 11.5 cm loom-woven pointed pumps. The heels page sorts every pair by height.

The lines

The shoe guide has every line; the flats page has the narrow crochet pair; the clothing size guide covers EU 32 to 42 for the dresses.

Frequently asked questions

Do Magda Butrym shoes run true to size?

Yes, where the brand comments; the crochet ballet flats are the one pair it says run narrow, half a size up.

Do Magda Butrym shoes come in half sizes?

Yes at source, 35.5 to 41.5. Coveti lists whole sizes; add the half size in the order notes.

What is EU 38 in UK and US?

UK 5 and US 8 on the house scale.

Which pair is widest?

The nappa mules and the almond pumps in leather give the most; the satin and crochet pairs the least.

How high are the heels?

3 to 5.5 cm on most pairs, 8 cm on the thong heels, 11.5 cm on the loom-woven pumps.

Do the sandals run true?

Yes; thongs sit flat on the foot, so take your usual size rather than going up.

Checked on 20 September 2026 by Gemma Deeks, fashion editor at Coveti. Product facts, the compositions, care lines, dimensions, sizing notes and country of manufacture, are the brand’s own product-page text; counts, prices and price ranges are Coveti’s live catalogue on that date and move with stock; the designer’s biography and the house history come from the encyclopaedia entries and the press articles listed below, each read on the date above; the size scales are the brand’s own. Where a claim could not be checked against one of these it was left out, and where the fitting room is giving its own advice the page says so.
