If you're searching for sock sizes UK, a sock size chart UK, or just need a clear sock size guide UK, you’re in the right place.
Whether you're buying socks for yourself or as a gift, knowing how UK sock sizes compare with EU and US sizes can save you the hassle of returns – especially around Christmas.
At Capricorn Mohair Socks, we’re here to help you get it right first time.
UK vs EU vs USA Sock Sizes
Sock sizes don’t always match shoe sizes exactly – and it can get confusing across regions. Here’s a quick guide:
| UK Size | EU Size | US Size (Men) | US Size (Women) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4–7 | 37–41 | 5–8 | 6.5–9.5 |
| 8–10 | 42–44 | 9–11 | 10–12 |
| 11–13 | 45–47 | 12–14 | — |
Most of our Capricorn Mohair Socks come in ranges 4–7, 8–10, and 11–13. These provide some wiggle room and ensure a snug, comfortable fit.
Height Often Relates to Shoe (and Sock) Size
It might sound obvious, but taller people often wear larger shoe sizes – which affects sock size too. If you’re buying socks as a gift and don’t know the recipient’s shoe size, height can be a decent clue:
- Under 5’6” (168cm)? UK 4–7 often fits.
- Around 5’7”–5’10” (170–178cm)? UK 8–10 is typical.
- Over 6ft (183cm)? UK 11–13 is usually the best bet.
Of course, this isn’t foolproof – but it can help you make a better guess if you're buying for someone else.
Heights of Socks: Ankle, Three-Quarters, and Full Length
At Capricorn Mohair Socks, we offer a range of sock heights to suit different needs and styles:
- Ankle Socks – Ideal for summer walks, casual wear, or wearing with trainers.
- Three-Quarter Length – Our best-sellers for walkers and outdoor workers. They offer great coverage without being too bulky.
- Full Length (Knee High) – Extra warmth for winter walks, wellies, or anyone who feels the cold.
Not all heights are available in every size, so check the product listings carefully.
Returns Policy: What If You Buy the Wrong Size?
We get it – sometimes you’re not quite sure. Maybe it’s a gift. Maybe you were guessing. That’s why we’ve made returns simple and fair:
- Christmas Returns – Any socks bought in November or December can be returned up until 15th January. No stress, no fuss.
- Rest of the Year – You’ve got 30 days to return or exchange your socks if they’re the wrong size – as long as they haven’t been worn or washed.
We want you to be happy with your socks – or make someone else happy with them.
Final Tip:
If in doubt, go up a size. It’s better for socks to be slightly roomy than too tight – especially with natural fibres like mohair, which adapt to your feet and help prevent blisters.
