📏 How to Pick the Right Size
- 🦶 Measure your feet in centimeters from heel to toe for accurate sizing.
- 🔁 Use EU sizing for consistency — it's the same for both men and women.
- 📐 If you’re converting from men’s to women’s US sizing, add about 1.5 sizes. Example: US Men’s 8 ≈ US Women’s 9.5.
- 👣 Always measure both feet and choose the size that matches the longer foot.
- 🌙 Measure at the end of the day — your feet expand throughout the day.
- 👟 Have wider feet? Try going half a size up for a better fit in women’s shoes.
