    LEAVYS SHOE ADVICE · JANA

    Yes—Jana designs its footwear range with extra width in mind. Many of the Jana shoes we stock are labelled H fit, meaning a wide fitting. The key is to check the fit of the particular pair you choose.

    There are differences within the range. Jana uses G, H and Relax Fit descriptions, so checking the fit information for the individual shoe is an important part of choosing your pair. You can read more in Jana’s official sizing guidance.

    What does H fit mean?

    H fit describes the shoe’s width. The number—such as 38 or 39—describes its size. If you need more room across your foot, consider the width alongside the length.

    The width fitting
    Look for H fit in the product details.

    A wider fitting does not make every shoe feel the same. The toe shape, upper material and fastening all contribute to how a style sits on your foot. A lace-up trainer, a zipped ankle boot and a Mary Jane can offer quite different fitting experiences, even when all three carry an H-fit label.

    Look beyond the brand name or the word “Softline” and check the details of the actual pair you are considering.

    How to choose your Jana size online

    Jana shoes at Leavys are mainly listed in EU sizes. Choose the EU size shown on the product page. If you normally shop in UK sizes, the table below will help you compare.

    Jana size guide: EU, UK and foot length

    Use the EU size when ordering. UK equivalents and foot lengths below are approximate guides. The measurements refer to your foot from heel to longest toe.

    EU size
    Order this size
    UK size
    Approx.
    Foot length
    (cm)
    Foot length
    (mm)
    36 3½ 22.5 225
    37 4 23.2 232
    38 5 23.8 238
    39 6 24.5 245
    40 6½ 25.1 251
    41 7½ 25.8 258
    42 8 26.5 265

    1 cm = 10 mm. These are foot-length measurements, not shoe or insole lengths. H fit describes width separately.

    Foot lengths follow Jana’s published size table; UK equivalents follow the Jana guide on our product pages. Use them as a starting point and check the guide for your chosen style. If you are between sizes or unsure, ask our team before ordering.

    1. Measure as a reference. Stand in socks on a sheet of paper, mark the heel and longest toe, then measure between the marks.
    2. Check the particular style. Read its width, material and fastening details alongside the size guide. Jana treats size-chart measurements as a guide rather than a guarantee of fit.
    3. Ask if you are between sizes. Tell us which shoes you normally wear, their size, and where you tend to need more room.

    Being comfortable across the toes but loose at the heel is a different fitting question from finding a shoe too short. If you are unsure, contact our team about the style before ordering.

    Three Jana H-fit styles to compare

    The fastening is a useful detail to compare. Laces let you adjust a trainer around your foot, an adjustable strap helps secure a dressier shoe, and an inside zip opens an ankle boot for easier changing.

    Your at-home try-on checklist

    Take time to check both shoes when your order arrives. Try them indoors on a clean, carpeted surface, wearing the socks or tights you intend to use with them. Stand and walk around gently so you can assess the fit in movement.

    • Toe room: your toes are not pressed against the end.
    • Comfort across the foot: the shoe feels comfortable at the widest part.
    • A secure heel: your heel stays in place as you walk.
    • A comfortable fastening: the shoe feels secure without pulling it excessively tight.

    Jana’s fitting advice recommends trying both shoes while standing and walking, and keeping them in pristine condition during an indoor try-on if they may need to be returned.

    If something feels wrong, contact us before wearing the shoes outdoors or attempting to stretch them. Tell us where the fit feels tight or loose, and which style and size you ordered. You can also read our guide to checking shoe fit.
