Shoe sizes drift between brands. A UK 7 in one maker can feel like a UK 6 in another, and width is often missing from the title entirely. Read the size chart attached to the listing, including any note that the brand recommends sizing up.
The sole and the upper tell you where the shoe can actually go. A fashion trainer, a walking shoe and a site boot can look similar in a thumbnail. Check the stated use, the fastening, and whether the seller accepts tried-on returns.
What to check
- UK size and any conversion, plus width if it is given.
- Upper material, lining and whether it is leather, coated leather or textile.
- Sole and stated use: daily wear, waterproof claim, or indoor use.
- Fastening and any removable insole.
- The returns rule for footwear on the offer, including whether the shoe must be unworn.
Easy mistakes
- Children’s and adult sizes mixed in one variation menu.
- A waterproof claim that only applies to the membrane version of the shoe.
- Narrow or wide fit buried in a bullet rather than the title.
Questions before you buy
- Does this brand’s chart match another pair you own?
- What surface is the sole made for?
- If the fit is wrong, can the pair go back after a carpet try-on?
