Finding the right size in sneakers and clogs can be a challenge – especially when the fit varies from brand to brand. In this guide, we'll help you find the perfect size to avoid discomfort and returns.
1. Know your foot length (in CM)
Start by measuring your foot. Place your heel against a wall and measure from the wall to your longest toe. Use a tape measure or ruler. Write down the measurement in centimeters.
Pro tip: Measure both feet – and choose the size based on the longest one.
2. Use the size guide from the brand
Most brands have their own size guide. This is especially true for brands such as:
-
Nike (often a little small in size)
-
Adidas (true-to-size or slightly large)
-
Birkenstock (has both a narrow and regular fit)
-
Yeezy (can vary depending on model – e.g. Foam Runner are small in size)
Check the product description – at Sneakerstock we always provide relevant size information.
3. Sneakers vs. Clogs – the fit varies
-
Sneakers should fit snugly, but still provide some room at the toes.
-
Clogs like Birkenstock Boston and Yeezy Pods can be a little larger in length, but should fit snugly enough not to slip off.
If you are between two sizes:
-
Sneakers: Go up half a size.
-
Clogs: Choose the smaller size unless you have wide feet.
4. Choose the right width
Birkenstocks, for example, come in both narrow and regular fit. If you have wide feet, you should go with regular – otherwise narrow may be ideal.
5. Returns are possible – but avoid the hassle
At Sneakerstock you can of course return your shoes if they don't fit. But with the right guide in hand you won't have to.
