Running Shoe Sizing

The most important consideration when getting a shoe is sizing. A shoe that does not fit well can cause discomfort, injury and pain.

The most accurate way to measure your shoe is with a simple foot measuring device (link) or a 'Brannock Device'(link)

If you do not have a device to measure your foot with, an alternative measurement method can be used.

Golden Rule: A thumb’s spacing between the end of your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Asians generally have wider fitting feet. Some shoe companies offer different widths to accommodate to their foot shape. Men also tend to have wider feet than Women. The table below illustrates the width options to look out for depending on your foot width.

Biological Gender	Standard Width	Wide Width
Man	D	2E
Woman	B	D

(Racing Shoes tend to have a narrower and more snug fit for better lockdown.)
