Two minutes
How to measure
- 1 Stand on a sheet of paper against a wall, heel touching the skirting. Do it at the end of the day — feet swell, and a shoe that fits at 6pm fits all day.
- 2 Mark the paper at the tip of your longest toe. That is not always the big toe.
- 3 Measure from the wall edge to the mark in centimetres. Do both feet and use the larger number.
- 4 Find that measurement in the chart. If you land between two sizes, take the larger one.

Fit notes by style
Where a shoe does not behave like the chart says it should, this is what we tell people.
| Style | Fit | What to order |
|---|---|---|
| Court lows and leather classics | Runs slightly large | Half a size down from your measured size |
| Canvas high-tops | Runs large, stretches with wear | Half a size down |
| Road runners | True to size | Your measured size |
| Trail runners | Snug through the midfoot | Half up if you wear thick socks |
| Retro basketball highs | True to size, narrow toe box | Your size; half up for wide feet |
| Welted leather boots | Runs large over a thick sock | Half a size down |
| Chelsea boots and chukkas | True to size | Your measured size |
| Heels and pumps | True to size, narrow | Half up if you are between sizes |
Still between two sizes? Order both, keep the one that fits and send the other back free.
