I’ve never had a pair of vans before and I wanna ask my brothers for some for Christmas. I’m online looking at some classic slip-ons trying to figure out which size I should tell them to get. I want to get wide fit. I got a ruler to measure the length of my feet and they’re 21 cm. I entered it into the shoe size guide and it told me that I need to get kids size 3!! I usually wear women’s size 7.5-8 in other shoes. I could just go to the mall to try some on I guess to be sure lol
If you are usually size 7,5-8 then it’s not possible your feet are 21 cms…either you have been wearing too big shoes all the time or something went wrong while measuring…which brands have you been wearing so far?
Yeah so I just measured my feet again and I’m really stupid lmao I was measuring from the end of the ruler which is 30cm long because the beginning of the ruler was rubbed off a little bit. My longest toe goes to the 6 and for some reason I read it upside down and thought it was a 9 🤦🏻♀️
So, 24 cms it is then? I’m still interested in what brands and sizing you wear? I think it’s deciding between wmns 7 or 7.5 (5.5 or 6 men’s) for Vans for you. So if you can try on those sizes that should help you decide.
I have a pair of converse in a size 7W, they’re comfortable but if I wear them for a while my toes do start to feel a little squeezed so I should probably be in a 7.5 or maybe even an 8. I went to a running shoe store in the spring to get walking/running shoes and the guy used one of those sizing things to measure my feet and he put me in a size 9! I don’t know if you size up a little bit when looking for running shoes so that you have more room for your toes to move around or what haha those are sauconys
Go to a store and try on all the Vans starting at wmns 7/5.5 men’s and upwards. I guess you can stop when you can put your feet in there twice lol. I really have no experience with Saucony sadly. But I do hear people going for a bigger size for running shoes. I have a pair of Adidas Climaboost I bought too big, I went up 1,5 size (cause they were real cheap and I hate spending on running shoes as I hardly use them) when I do use them it’s with 2 pairs of socks…but the 0.5 size up would probably have been perfect. For Converse I’m a men’s/kids size US 3, which translates to a size US 4 in Vans for me. In US size I go up in sizing, but in EU size they’re both size 35.
