How to Choose the Right Shoe Size Based on CM Measurement:

Measure the foot length from heel to longest toe (ideally while standing).

Add about 0.5 cm to the measured length for comfort and movement.

This is called toe allowance and helps prevent rubbing or tightness at the front.

Match the final number to the CM column on the size chart.

Example:

• If your foot measures 25 cm, you should choose size 41 / US 9.5 (25.5 cm) rather than 40 / US 9 (25 cm).

• This helps ensure there's enough space, especially if:

  1. You'll wear socks.

  2. The shoe has a pointed toe or snug fit.

  3. The material isn't very stretchy (e.g., faux leather or patent styles).
