To know what size to buy, before looking at the size guide, it is advisable to measure your feet. Place your foot against a wall with a sheet of paper underneath it, draw its outline, then measure it from the heel to the longest toe on both feet. The longest measurement will be the valid one. Once you have this, add between 0.6 mm and 1.00 cm, which we will leave between the tip of our longest toe and the end of the footwear, so that this small distance helps the mobility of our toes.
Check the brand's size guide, and if your measurement is within what the brand recommends, take that size; otherwise, go to the next size up.
Example: my right foot measures 25.1 mm and my left foot measures 25.8 mm. If I add 0.8 mm of margin, it means I need 26.6 mm. If our brand's size 40 indicates 26.2 mm, I will have to order a 41, which is my real size.
My feet have been scanned, so I also know, through this more technological method, that my size is 41.
All our lasts, we are last manufacturers, have the correct measurements, but due to their biomechanical study, they can vary from one to another by a maximum of 0.4 mm.
