Roger Vivier Size Guide: EU, UK and US Shoe Sizes, Belts and Hats
Roger Vivier sizes its shoes on the Italian scale, which is the same as EU sizing, so an EU 37 is a UK 4 and a US 7. Most women take their usual EU size, and Coveti lists every pair on the Roger Vivier brand page in whole sizes from EU 35 to 42, alongside the wider edit of designer shoes. For the story behind the shapes you are sizing, read who Roger Vivier was.
Key Facts
- Roger Vivier shoes use the Italian scale, equal to EU: EU 37 = UK 4 = US 7.
- Coveti stocks 106 pairs in whole EU sizes 35 to 42, with no half sizes; 67 of them come in all eight sizes.
- Heel heights run from 2.5 cm on the ballerinas to 12 cm on the Jewel Heel sandals and the Efflorescence platform pumps.
- Belts are sized in cm from 70 to 100, most hats come in S, M and L, and bags are one size.
- All 157 Roger Vivier pieces at Coveti are made in Italy and authenticated before they ship.
How do Roger Vivier shoe sizes convert?
The house labels its shoes with Italian sizes. Italian and EU sizes are the same number, so the label inside a pair of Belle Vivier Pumps in brown suede reads the size you would look for on any European shoe. The conversion below is the one Coveti uses across the site for UK and US shoppers.
| EU / Italian | UK | US |
|---|---|---|
| 35 | 2 | 5 |
| 36 | 3 | 6 |
| 37 | 4 | 7 |
| 38 | 5 | 8 |
| 39 | 6 | 9 |
| 40 | 7 | 10 |
| 41 | 8 | 11 |
| 42 | 9 | 12 |
Read across the row from your usual EU size. If you only know your UK size, add 33 to find the EU number on this chart; for US sizes, add 30. That shortcut holds for every size Coveti lists, from 35 up to 42.
Does Coveti carry half sizes?
No. Coveti lists Roger Vivier shoes in whole EU sizes only. Of the 106 pairs in the Autumn Winter 2026-2027 edit, 67 run the full ladder from 35 to 42, 33 come in seven sizes and six come in six. The Choc Cuissard Boots, for example, start at 36 and stop at 41. Each product page shows the sizes the house makes for that style and which of them are in stock today.
Does Roger Vivier run large?
The house does not publish a “runs large” note for these styles, and neither do we. Most women take their usual EU size. If you sit between two sizes in other European brands, the sections below explain how the cut of each shoe changes which way to go.
How to choose between two sizes
A half-size foot buying whole sizes has a real choice to make, and the right answer depends on the shoe. The guidance here is general fitting advice, not a house rule.
Start with your measurements
Measure both feet late in the day, when they are at their largest, and size to the longer foot. Feet often differ slightly, and a shoe that fits the bigger one can be fine-tuned on the smaller side with a thin insole. Try new shoes on a carpet first so the soles stay clean if you need to exchange.
Open styles forgive more
Slingbacks, mules and sandals leave the heel free, so a little extra length shows less. The Belle Vivier Slingback Pumps in burgundy, beige and black suede have an adjustable heel strap, which takes up slack at the back. The Rose Vivier Mules and the Jewel Heel sandals, with their adjustable ankle strap, behave the same way. With open styles many women between sizes choose the smaller of the two.
Closed pumps and ballerinas need the right length
A closed court shoe holds the foot only at the toe and the heel, so length matters more. If the larger size slips at the back when you walk, a heel grip helps; if the smaller size presses the toes, go up. Suede gives a little with wear, patent leather and satin give very little. The Belle Vivier Ballerinas in brown suede sit on a 2.5 cm heel, and flat shapes like this tend to feel longer than a heel in the same size because the foot does not slide forward.
Mary Janes and straps
A strap across the instep holds the foot in place, so it lets you choose the size that fits the length and let the strap do the rest. The Efflorescence Mary Jane Pumps in black leather on a 4.5 cm heel are a good example of a shoe where the strap keeps the foot steady.
Boots, socks and linings
Boots are worn with thicker socks and tights in autumn and winter, and lined boots already take up room inside. The Viv’ Up Booties in camel suede and shearling have a lambskin fur lining and insole, so think about the socks you plan to wear with them before choosing between sizes. Over-the-knee styles such as the Choc Cuissard Boots in black crocodile-print leather close with an inside zip, which helps getting them on but does not change the length of the foot.
How heel height and toe shape change the feel
The same EU size can feel different from one Roger Vivier style to the next. That is not a sizing change; it is the effect of the heel and the toe. As a general rule, the higher the heel, the more your weight moves forward onto the ball of the foot, and the more the front of the shoe has to hold.
| Heel height | Example at Coveti | Price (USD) | How it tends to feel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 cm | Belle Vivier Ballerinas in brown suede | 1,410 | Weight spread along the foot; length is what you notice |
| 4.5 cm | Belle Vivier Pumps in brown suede | 1,520 | A small lift; most women size as they would for a flat |
| 6.5 cm | Efflorescence Pumps in brown satin | 2,790 | A mid heel; the toe box starts to matter more |
| 8.5 cm | Viv’ in the City Slingback Pumps in black leather | 1,520 | The foot slides forward; a snug heel strap helps |
| 10 cm | Choc Pumps in black leather | 1,360 | Most of the load is on the ball of the foot |
| 12 cm | Jewel Heel Sandals in nude satin | 2,330 | An evening height; ankle straps keep the foot in place |
The 4.5 cm Belle Vivier and Trompette pumps are the easiest place to start if you are new to the house. For higher shapes, our guide to Roger Vivier heels compares the Choc, Trompette and Viv’ in the City heels side by side, and the Choc Pumps in black leather are the house’s 10 cm curved heel in its simplest form.
Square, tapered and almond toes
Toe shape changes where your toes sit. A square toe gives the toes more room side to side. The Trompette Pumps with Metal Buckle have a squared toe, and the Viv’ Canard slingbacks have a tapered square toe taken from a house archive design. A pointed toe extends past the end of your toes, so the shoe looks longer than your foot without fitting any longer. If you have a wide forefoot, try a square toe first.
Belts, hats, bags and accessories
Roger Vivier accessories have simpler sizing, but the units differ by item. Here is how Coveti lists them.
| Item | Sizing | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Belts | 70, 75, 80, 85, 90 cm (one style adds 100 cm) | Belle Vivier Belt in burgundy suede: 70 to 100 cm |
| Hats and caps | S, M, L | Trompette Hat in grey felt |
| Wool beret | One size | Efflorescence Beret in burgundy wool |
| Bags and bag charms | One size | Belle Vivier Clutch in black leather |
| Hair pieces and earrings | One size | Tres Vivier Hair Clip in gold |
How to choose a belt size
Belt sizes are lengths in centimetres. Measure where you will wear the belt, at the waist for a dress and at the hip for jeans, then take the size closest to that number. The Belle Vivier Belt in burgundy suede comes in 70, 75, 80, 90 and 100 cm, while the Belle Vivier Belt in green leather and the two Efflorescence satin belts run from 70 to 90 cm in 5 cm steps. Our guide to Roger Vivier accessories shows every belt in the edit.
How to choose a hat size
Measure around your head just above the ears and across the forehead. The Trompette Hat in grey felt, the Efflorescence Beret in black faux fur and the three wool and cashmere baseball caps come in S, M and L. If you sit between two, take the larger, since a hat that is too tight is uncomfortable within the hour. The Efflorescence Beret in burgundy wool is one size.
Bags are one size
Every Roger Vivier bag at Coveti is listed as one size, from the Pilgrim Micro Bag in black leather to the medium hobo. Each product page gives the details you need, such as a chain strap, a top handle and an inside pocket.
