Fit & sizing

Finding your size

Please refer to our size guide above for the most accurate fit, or reach out to our customer experience team for detailed sizing guidance.

How your new shoes should feel

A good fit should feel snug without pinching: the heel secure with no slipping, while the toe box allows a small amount of movement. This offers better support, reduces excessive movement, and promotes proper foot placement for comfort and stability.

After a few wears, the sole and upper will gradually conform to the shape of your feet, providing an even better fit.

Care

Rotate between wears and insert shoe trees after use to help retain shape and minimise creasing.
Use a shoe horn when putting them on, and take them off by hand rather than stepping out of them, to protect the heel.
Once dry, wipe the upper gently with a soft brush or cloth to remove dust and surface marks.
Protect the upper with a product suited to its material (a leather conditioner for smooth leather, a suede/nubuck protector spray for suede or nubuck) before first wear, and refresh periodically, especially after cleaning or exposure to moisture.
For scuffs or marks, use a cleaner suited to the upper material and avoid harsh liquid cleaners where possible.
Let the sole dry at room temperature if it becomes damp and keep away from direct heat sources.
If you expect frequent wear in wet conditions, consider a protective sole treatment for extra grip and added longevity.
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How to measure your feet:

1. Wear the socks you would normally pair with this style of shoe.
2. Place your foot on a piece of paper and trace its outline.
3. Measure from the heel to the longest toe using a ruler.
4. Match your measurement to the table above and adjust for foot shape accordingly.

Note: The CM and Inch values above correspond to the recommended size based on your foot’s length, not the shoe’s internal length.

Adjust for foot shape:

– Normal: Choose the size closest to your measurement.
– Wide: Choose a half size larger than your nearest measurement.
– Narrow: Choose the smaller size if your measurement falls between two sizes.
