Size Guide (How to choose the right fit)
Running shoes should feel secure in the heel and midfoot, with a little room at the front. Aim for about a thumb’s width (roughly 10 to 12 mm) of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
How to measure your foot at home
- Place a sheet of paper against a wall and stand on it with your heel lightly touching the wall.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe (it may be your second toe).
- Measure heel to toe in mm or cm and use the retailer’s size chart to match your length.
- Measure both feet and use the larger measurement.
Width tips (Standard vs Wide)
- Choose Wide if your foot feels squeezed at the forefoot, you often size up for width, or you get hot spots on the sides.
- Choose Standard if you like a snug midfoot hold and have no pressure at the sides.
- If you wear orthotics, ensure the fit stays secure without needing to over tighten laces.
Tip: Fit can vary slightly by colourway, width, and retailer, so always match your measurement to the specific listing’s size chart.
