Understanding Shoe Fit

Studies show that up to 72% of people wear shoes that don't fit properly. Ill-fitting shoes can cause blisters, bunions, hammertoes, and long-term foot problems. Getting the right fit matters more than most people realize.

Always measure your feet in the afternoon — feet swell throughout the day, and an afternoon measurement gives you the most accurate size for all-day comfort.

There should be about a thumb's width (roughly 1 cm) between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. For high-impact activities like running or hiking, size up — your feet can swell by half a size during exercise.

If your shoes feel off, start by checking your size with our shoe size converter. Learn how to measure your feet correctly, or read about the signs of poorly fitting shoes.
