Google AI Gives Wrong Size Conversion for Shoes

I wanted to convert a shoe size from european to US. So I typed "eu38 shoe size us mens" into Google search. The AI result was: "A EU 38 shoe size for men in the US is typically a size 7 or 7.5Some sources might list it as 7.5". There was a small image of a chart from Bespoke Unit, next to the text. When enlarged this indicated a EU 38 was a US 6. However, the Wikipedia's "European shoe size conversion", and most other sources, has a EU 38 shoe as equivalent to between US 5.5 and 6.5, which is a long way from a 7.5.
