Know Your Size

The first thing is to know your size in US sizing. You can find it on the size label stitched under the shoe tongue of your current shoes.

Regarding the European size, our shoes are basically manufactured in US size measurement, the EU size in the size chart is only for reference. The European size measurement is generally different between each shoe brand. We recommend you to make sure your US size before you place an order by checking the shoe label on which you usually wear since we receive order in US size.

Measure Your Feet

If you’re not sure about your shoe size, you’ll need to do a measurement.

Stand on a piece of fixed paper on the solid ground with your socks on. Mark the tip of your longest toe and the tip of your heel and use a ruler to measure the length between the two marks. Write the number down and measure your other foot. You might want to measure your feet in the afternoon as your feet would be more swollen at this time. 

Use the largest number of the measurement to determine your size. Let’s say the length of your foot is 26.7 cm long which is rounded up to 27 cm. It means you’re US size 9 according to the size chart.

If the length of your foot is 10.50 inches long, first you need to convert it into centimeter which is 26.67 cm (1 inch = 2.54 cm). 26.67cm can be rounded up to 27 cm meaning you're US size 9.

Find Your Fit

Besides sizing, you should also pay attention to fitting. Fitting of shoes can be slightly different due to the shoe last, style and material out of the same size. For example, if you’re a size 9, you'll have to wear size 8.5 for Icon Washed canvas slip-on because Icon Washed runs smaller than usual size.

Make sure you follow the instruction in the product description to choose the right size. Here is a brief summary on the fitting of our collection:

  • If you have wide feet, Icon and Hydra will be your best mates.
  • If you have rather narrow feet or prefer slim-looking shoes, Adelaide, Cruiser, Duke, Baron or King are the ones for you.
  • If you have high insteps, you'll find Medio and Gotha really comfortable.
