By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sneakers | true to size | medium width with a refined toe box | Take your usual sneaker size; those with wide feet may prefer a half size up. |
| Boots | true to size | narrow-to-medium shaft with a snug calf; stretch styles like the 5050 accommodate wider calves | Take your normal size; the 5050 stretch back helps with calf and instep fit, while leather Lowland styles may need a short break-in. |
| Sandals & slides | true to size | slim strappy profile that can feel narrow underfoot | Order your true size and size down a half if you are between sizes, as strappy styles run a touch long. |
| Dress shoes | true to size | narrow to medium fit typical of sleek pumps, loafers and flats | Stick with your true size; narrow feet fit well, wide feet may want to try a half size up. |
