UK sizes have the same number as US sizes but are different sizes (Women's clothes too). A UK 8 1/2 (my size) is the same as a US 9 1/2. I often buy shoes in the US and the first pair I tried - before I learned this - were very tight. When buying for my wife/daughters who are very slim I have to be careful too, size 8 UK is the same as size 6 USA. Frank Beats me why this is, a US gallon is different to an Imperial gallon too, but that was apparently due to trader ripoffs during the colonial era.
