How It Works
Shoe sizes vary by country and gender. US and UK sizes are based on different scales—UK sizes typically run about 0.5-1 size smaller than US for men, and 2 sizes smaller for women. EU sizes are based on foot length in centimeters multiplied by 1.5.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I measure my foot?
Stand on a piece of paper with your heel against a wall. Mark the longest point of your foot (usually big toe). Measure from the wall to the mark in centimeters. Measure both feet—use the larger one. Best done at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen.
Why do my shoes from different brands fit differently?
Brands use different lasts (foot forms) and have varying interpretations of sizes. Athletic shoes often run small, while European brands may run narrow. Always check brand-specific size guides and read reviews about fit.
Should I size up or down if between sizes?
Generally, size up. Too-small shoes cause blisters, bunions, and discomfort. You can add insoles to slightly large shoes, but you can't make small shoes bigger. For athletic shoes, leave about a thumb's width between your longest toe and the shoe end.
