If you're normally a range with other brands, we recommend selecting the larger size with ours.
Our dress sneaker design has a narrow toe box and we do not have wide sizes. If you usually buy wide we recommend trying 1/2 size up. Unfortunately if you're always an EE or larger ours won't fit.
Our shoes come with orthotic insoles which are thicker than regular flat insoles. If you wear thick socks we recommend going 1/2 size up.
