We understand the appeal of a centimeter-based size guide, and while it can sometimes help, the truth is, it’s not always accurate.

Foot length alone doesn’t tell the full story—shoe sizing depends on several factors, such as the volume of your instep and the length from heel to ball, which often play a bigger role than just the distance from heel to toes.

These ratios are the most important measurements in shoe size.

This ratio can help as a starting point, but keep in mind: people's toe lengths differ.

To help, we’ve provided a length-based size guide and a simple way to measure your feet. While this serves as a starting point, remember that instep volume and heel-to-ball length are key to finding the right fit.

The Better Way: A Size Consultation.

Use the 'Find My Size' button on the product page to get started. Additionally, we recommend reaching out and sharing references to other brands you wear and the sizes you use in those. With this information, we can help you pinpoint your Lennertson size.

Keep in Mind:

- Is your foot really that large?

Most exchanges happen because customers overestimate their size and order too large. (And persons with small feet however, tend to think they need a smaller shoe than they actually do.)

- A lot of people wear sneakers that are too large

The fit of a sneaker often hides this, but it’s not ideal for proper sizing in boots or dress shoes.

- European customers get their size wrong the most

In continental Europe, dress shoes have traditionally been narrow and pointy, leading to a habit of sizing up. Lennertson shoes, however, are round and roomy, so your actual size might be smaller.

Mainstream European shoe brands often have the most inconsistent sizing notations. In contrast, American and British customers who compare Lennertson to their traditional shoe brands tend to find our sizing aligns more consistently.

Combine this with the trend of wearing sneakers that are slightly too large, and it’s easy to develop a skewed perception of your true shoe size.

So, let us recommend it again: reaching out for a size consultation!
