The key parameters for choosing comfortable shoes with fasteners (laces, Velcro, buckles, etc.) are length and circumference in bunches. Such parameters as instep circumference and oblique circumference are important for shoes without fasteners, for example, loafers.

Length determines the size, and the circumference in bunches determines the fullness.

Each manufacturer sews shoes according to its own lasts and each has its own size charts. So, for example, for a foot length of 260 mm, New Balance recommends choosing the European size of its women's models 40.5, men's / unisex - 41.5, and adidas - 42⅔. By clicking the "Manufacturer sizes" button, you can see your sizes from each manufacturer (if you have not measured your feet using our solution, but know the length, you can enter (manually).

It is important to understand that the size determines only the appropriate foot length, and the width is usually average. At the same time, models made specifically for women are narrower than men's and unisex models. Therefore, if you have a non-standard width, you must take this into account when choosing shoes. After measuring your foot, we provide recommendations for your width.

If you have a non-standard width, we recommend paying attention to New Balance shoes, whose models are made for different widths. Each pair is marked not only with a numeric size, but also with a letter that determines the width in American standards (for more details, read our article on Zen). Some shoe models may have only one width option, and some have different variations. In our product cards, next to the name, it is indicated which This model may have variations in width. Additionally, some models from other manufacturers are also made for non-standard widths—select the appropriate filter in the search to find them.
