The Ultimate Sneaker Fit Guide – 10 Brands You Might Want!

It’s easy to choose a pair of sneakers, but it’s not so easy to find the right shoe size. And while your foot doesn’t really change in size, the brands making your kicks could! Sometimes, you just wanna buy that perfect everyday pair of sneakers. However, just when you thought that you were a size 10, it turns out that you are a 10.5 for another brand. So today, we’re gonna cover the most popular brands out there and how their shoes fit! If you want a more extensive size guide for the popular brands, check these out:

How Do Different Kicks from Sneaker Brands Fit?

Every sneakerhead in the world is looking for the perfect pair of kicks. But that perfect pair doesn’t matter if you don’t get the right size. If your kicks are too small, that’s uncomfortable as heck. And if they’re too big, then you gotta face a bigger risk of creasing which will ruin the kicks faster. So, here is how you should handle the following brands the next time you go shopping!

Converse

We all, without fail, owned a pair of All-Stars at some point in our lives (or still do). They’re great everyday shoes, but they might deceive you when it comes to sizing. You see, Converse kicks tend to run half a size big. So, if you like a comfortable fit or thick socks, you can stick to your size. But if you’re looking for a snug fit, you’ll need to go half a size down.

Vans

You don’t need to go off the wall to know that classic Vans silhouettes fit true to size. And when we say classics, we mean the Old Skools, Slip-Ons, and Authentics. However, the Eras and Vault collabs tend to run a little bigger, so you might wanna go half a size down there.

Puma

Another pair that’s very easy to shop for online is Puma. You see, these babies fit true to size. But just like any other pair that fits right, you might wanna go half a size up if you have wide feet or simply like a roomier-than-average fit.

Reebok

Now, the simple answer here would be that Reebok sneakers fit true to size. However, it’s not as simple as you would think, especially if it’s your first time buying Reeboks. But, if you wanna do some comparison to find the best size for you, check these charts out! That way, you’ll be able to get yourself the right size even if you’re shopping online.

Skechers

Now, if you wanna know how Skechers kicks fit, they answered it better than we ever could. You see, they basically run true to size. However, the brand took into consideration the different types of feet. So what did they do? They created a size chart and added a helpful fit system so people could find the best style for them. Moreover, they have sneakers available both in regular sizes and for wide feet!

Asics

Contrary to other sneakers, especially running shoes, Asics kicks provide more space, especially on the front. So, if you stay true to size, the kicks will feel a bit roomy. But if you want a snug fit, you can always size down. It all depends on your preference when it comes to the fit of your shoes!

Veja

Many people are switching to sustainable sneaker brands, and one of the most popular ones is Veja. So, if you considered that switch too, then you wanna know how their sneakers fit! Now, while people say that Veja fits true to size, their website recommends that you size up. That is especially helpful if you are between two sizes!

Salomon

While the brand doesn’t have a consistent sizing across all silhouettes. But the consensus is that you should size up. And in retrospect, that kinda makes sense since Salomons are outdoor shoes. In other words, you probably will wear thicker socks, especially if you’re going on a hiking trip or such.

Hoka

Hoka shoes are generally true to size. However, if you’re switching from Nike to Hoka, you might wanna go half a size down. But of course, we recommend measuring your shoe size before you make a decision like that!

On

Last but not least, we have On sneakers. If you wanna buy any of their kicks, the general recommendation is to stay true to size. However, some users recommend going a half or full size up for the waterproof range. For a more detailed breakdown, check this guide out!

So, there it is! You’re ready to buy the popular sneakers we all know and love. And while nothing beats the physical shopping experience, this will come in handy whenever you wanna buy online. But make sure you always check the exchange policy to be on the safe side. Finally, if you’re loyal to the classic kicks, check out our blog for the latest sneaker news. Who knows? You might need to shop for sneakers sooner than you know. Godspeed!
