How to Use Brand Shoe Size Charts

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Select Your Brand: Choose the brand you're shopping for from the links below. Each brand has its own sizing characteristics and fit preferences.
  2. Know Your Current Size: Determine your size in one system (US, UK, EU, or CM) for the brand you're familiar with.
  3. Check the Brand Chart: Use the brand-specific chart to find your equivalent size in other systems or compare with other brands.
  4. Consider Fit Characteristics: Different brands may have different fit preferences (narrow, wide, true-to-size). Read the brand-specific guide for detailed fit information.

Why Brand-Specific Charts Matter

While general shoe size conversion charts provide a good starting point, brand-specific charts account for each brand's unique sizing characteristics. For example:

  • Nike: Generally true to size, but some models (like Air Force 1) may run large
  • Adidas: Uses fractional EU sizes (42 2/3, 43 1/3) and generally true to size
  • New Balance: Known for width options (D, 2E, 4E) and consistent sizing
  • Converse: Often runs large; many customers size down 0.5-1 size
  • Vans: Generally true to size, but some models may run slightly narrow

Understanding Brand Size Differences

Why Brands Fit Differently

Last Design: Each brand uses different "lasts" (foot-shaped molds) which determine the overall shape and fit of the shoe. Some brands design for narrower feet, while others accommodate wider feet.

Target Market: Brands may design shoes for specific demographics or regions, affecting sizing. For example, European brands may run narrower than American brands.

Model Variations: Even within the same brand, different models can fit differently. Athletic shoes may have more room than dress shoes, even at the same size.

Common Size Variations

Runs True to Size:

Nike (most models), Adidas, New Balance, Puma, Vans (most models)

Runs Large:

Converse (often 0.5-1 size large), Nike Air Force 1, some Adidas models

Runs Narrow:

Some Puma models, certain Vans styles, European luxury brands

Wide Options Available:

New Balance (excellent width selection), some Nike models, certain Adidas styles

When to Use Brand-Specific Charts

First-Time Brand Purchase

When buying from a brand for the first time, brand-specific charts help you understand their sizing characteristics and find your correct size. This is especially important for expensive or final-sale items.

Check both the size chart and customer reviews for the specific model you're interested in.

Online Shopping

Brand-specific charts are essential for online shopping, where you can't try on shoes before buying. They help you make informed decisions and reduce the need for returns.

Combine brand charts with customer reviews for the most accurate sizing information.

Switching Between Brands

When switching from one brand to another, brand charts help you understand size differences and find your equivalent size. This is especially useful when your favorite brand doesn't have the style you want.

Use our Brand Shoe Converter tool for quick conversions between brands.

Gift Shopping

When buying shoes as gifts, brand charts help you find the right size even if you don't know the recipient's size in that specific brand. You can convert from their known size in another brand.

Always include a gift receipt for easy exchanges if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find the official shoe size chart for each brand?

See the links above for each brand's official size chart and conversion table. Each brand page includes detailed size charts for men, women, and kids, along with brand-specific sizing notes and fit characteristics.

Are brand shoe sizes consistent?

No, brand shoe sizes are not always consistent. While general conversion charts provide a baseline, each brand may have slight variations in sizing. Some brands run large (like Converse), while others run true to size (like New Balance). Always check the brand's specific chart for the most accurate fit.

How do I convert between different brands?

Start with your known size in one brand, then use that brand's chart to find your size in different systems (US, UK, EU, CM). Then, use the target brand's chart to find your equivalent size. For the most accurate conversion, use our Brand Shoe Size Converter tool.

Why do some brands fit differently even with the same size?

Different brands use different "lasts" (the mold around which shoes are made), which affects the shape and fit. Some brands design for narrower feet, while others accommodate wider feet.

Additionally, different shoe models within the same brand may have different fits. For example, Nike Air Force 1 may run large, while Nike running shoes may fit true to size. Always check customer reviews for specific models when available.

Should I always use brand-specific charts?

Yes, whenever possible, use brand-specific charts for the most accurate sizing. General conversion charts provide a good starting point, but brand-specific charts account for each brand's unique sizing characteristics.

If a brand-specific chart isn't available, use the general conversion chart as a baseline, but be prepared to adjust based on customer reviews and the brand's reputation for sizing.
