Sizing Travel Shoes Across Different Brands

· 1 min read · May 2, 2026

No two brands agree on what a size means. Your perfect fit in one label can be a full size off in another, which is why brand sizing charts mislead.

The only reliable number is the length of your foot in centimeters. From that, you can convert to any brand’s chart and stop guessing from your usual size.

  • Measure your foot in centimeters, not in your home size.
  • Check each brand’s specific size chart before ordering.
  • Leave about a thumb’s width of space at the toe.
  • Account for swelling if you will walk all day.

I keep my foot length written in my phone notes. It has saved me from more wrong sizes than any brand loyalty ever could, and it travels with me everywhere.
