Vans Sizing Guide: Street-Ready Fit

Vans has been the go-to brand for skateboarders and street culture enthusiasts since 1966. Their shoes are designed for performance and style, but finding the right size requires understanding their unique fit characteristics.

Key Insight

Vans shoes typically run small and require a break-in period. Most styles feel snug initially but mold to your foot over time. For the best fit, consider sizing up half a size, especially for skateboarding or if you prefer a more relaxed fit.

Quick Size Tips

Size Up for Comfort

Vans generally run small. Consider sizing up half a size for a more comfortable fit, especially for daily wear.

Break-In Period

New Vans need time to mold to your feet. Expect 1-2 weeks of regular wear for optimal comfort.

Canvas vs Leather

Canvas styles stretch more over time, while leather maintains shape better. Factor this into your size choice.

Skate vs Casual

Skate shoes fit snugger for board control, while casual styles offer more room for comfort.

Wide Feet Solution

If you have wide feet, size up a full size or look for Vans' wide-width options in select styles.

How to Accurately Measure Your Feet for the Best Fit

To ensure the most accurate shoe size conversion, understanding your precise foot measurement data is crucial. Please follow these simple steps:

1
Preparation:Place a piece of paper on a hard, flat surface, with one side against a wall.
2
Standing:Stand on the paper with your heel lightly touching the wall. Ensure your foot is flat and your weight is evenly distributed.
3
Marking:Have a friend (or carefully do it yourself) mark the position of the longest part of your foot (from heel to longest toe) on the paper.
4
Measuring:Use a ruler or tape measure to measure the length from the edge of the paper (at the heel) to your marked point, in centimeters (CM).
5
Repeat:Measure the other foot, as the two feet are rarely exactly the same. Always use the measurement of the longer foot to determine the size.

Tip

It is recommended to measure your feet in the evening, as feet may swell slightly during the day due to heat and activity.
