Size Guide (everyday running and walking fit)
Aim for a secure heel and midfoot feel, with enough room at the front so toes are not cramped. A practical guideline is about a thumb’s width (roughly 10 to 12 mm) between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Quick fitting check
- Toe room: no toe pressure at the front, even when walking downhill.
- Heel hold: minimal heel slip, the collar should feel secure, not restrictive.
- Forefoot comfort: if you feel side pressure or rubbing, check Wide or X-Wide options on the Amazon product page.
Tip: Always confirm the size chart, width options, and any fit notes shown on the Amazon product page before ordering.
