How to Find Your Size

Stand on a piece of paper in socks, trace your foot, and measure the longest point from heel to toe in inches or centimeters. Match that measurement to the charts above.

Fit Notes by Brand

Most of our shoes run true to size. If you fall between two sizes, go up half a size for a more comfortable fit. A few brands have specific tendencies worth knowing.

Nike, Jordan, Puma — true to size for nearly everyone.

Adidas (including Yeezy) — tends to run slightly large. Consider going down half a size if you're between sizes.

Spring Footwear (L'Artiste, Flexus, Azura, Patrizia) — runs slightly narrow. Size up if you have wide feet or prefer a roomier fit.

British Walkers — fits medium to slightly wide. True to size for most; if you have narrow feet, consider going down half a size.

Birkenstock — uses EU sizing as the primary size. Refer to the EU column above. Regular footbed fits most; narrow footbed available on select styles.

Clarks Originals — generally true to size. Desert Boots may feel snug at first and break in within a few wears.
