The main thing to remember is that a UK size 10 is approximately the same as European size 44... You then count up accordingly using half steps for UK shoe sizes, and whole steps for European shoes. Thus, a UK trainer in size 12 and a half would be the same as an equivalent European shoe in size 47. Remember though, different footwear manufacturers tend to use varying conversions so always check the manufacturer's website where available.
