Size & Fit Guide

Find your size

Measure your foot, find your length below, and that's your size. We size by length, and the soft leather moulds to your foot for the width.

How to measure

Measure your foot — one minute, more accurate than guessing:
1. Put a sheet of paper flat against a wall.
2. Stand on it, heel against the wall.
3. Mark the tip of your longest toe.
4. Measure from the wall edge to the mark.
5. Do both feet. Use the bigger number.
6. Measure at the end of the day, in the socks you'd dance in.

Fit notes

Between two sizes? Go up. Your toes should never be cramped.
One foot bigger? Everyone's a little uneven. Use the bigger foot.
Wide feet? No need to size up. The soft leather moulds and settles into a glove fit.
Higher instep? Our laced styles open right up over the top, so you can give your foot more room.
