How do I know my shoe size?

Let's start with the simplest and most common measurement in France: the shoe size. It is calculated based on the length of your foot and this measurement is almost universal for all distributors in France.

You may notice a slight difference between certain brands, which is why it is important to refer to the size guide provided by the brand to be sure not to make a mistake. Here is a classic French size guide:

The majority of stores specializing in the sale of shoes have a measuring tool called a pedimeter. Do not hesitate to take your size when visiting the store to find out your size more easily. You can also find pedimeter models to print on the internet: click here to download the Magenta Chaussures pedimeter

How do I convert my shoe size?

In England as in the United States, shoe sizes are not calculated in the same way. Major sneaker brands often use the English or American equivalent for their models (Nike, Converse, Vans, etc.). To find out the size equivalences, you can refer to this FR-UK-US conversion table:

How do I know my foot width?

A significant criterion in choosing a shoe model: the width of your foot. More and more manufacturers are diversifying their offerings by offering models for wide feet (“Wide fit” in English) which provide more comfort for the “stronger” feet. If so-called “classic” models compress your foot or ankle, remember to measure the width of your foot and adapt your purchasing habits accordingly. To take the correct measurement, place your foot flat on the ground and go around your foot with a tape measure on the widest part (see diagram). Then refer to the size guide below.

You can now sort the models offered onour online store by width using the "Comfort" filter (Width G and H available).

How do I know the morphology of my foot?

Another factor that can be decisive in choosing a model: the morphology of your foot. To know the morphology or typology of your foot, you have to focus on the toes.

Foot Shapes – Big and Pretty

Certain trends could be uncomfortable to wear for certain types. Ex: square feet might be cramped in models with a pointed toe. Good information to know during your next shopping trip!

Sole or not?

You will find on the market and in supermarkets different types of insoles which allow you to reduce the size of a model by a few centimetres, to absorb humidity and perspiration or even to absorb shock or to keep your feet in place. hot. Please note, these “comfort” insoles should not be confused with orthopedic or medical insoles.

If you experience discomfort in your pairs of shoes despite taking into account the criteria listed in this article, we advise you to make an appointment with a specialist (podiatrist) who will be able to analyze your situation and advise you on suitable solutions.
