Nike Men's Size 8.5
A Nike men's size 8.5 fits like a standard US 8. Here's that in UK, EU and foot length, and what to order if you measure differently.
Nike runs small, so a men's Nike size 8.5 actually fits like a standard US 8 (UK 7, EU 39.5, about 25.1 cm). If you measure a US 8, this is your Nike size; otherwise size up half a size from your usual.
Nike 8.5 = US 8
UK 7 · EU 39.5 · foot ≈ 25.1 cm
What to order: if you normally wear US 8, choose a Nike 8.5. Going by another brand, size up half a size.
| Nike size | Fits like (US) | UK | EU | Foot cm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7.5 | 7 | 6 | 38 | 24.3 |
| 8.5 | 8 | 7 | 40 | 25.5 |
| 9.5 | 9 | 8 | 41.5 | 26.3 |
⚠️ Nike tends to run about half a size small — most people size up half, and lifestyle models (Air Force 1, Blazer) run especially snug.
