In the Netherlands and in the rest of Europe, shoe and clothes sizes are different from the rest of the world. In the bigger international stores, you will find labels on the clothes stating the sizes in various countries. If you go to a smaller boutique and want to fit a national or not well-known brand, it might be helpful to know the sizes stated below.
