Lotus size & fit guide
For Lotus men's shoes, follow the size system shown on your chosen product. The fit of a formal lace-up differs from an open sandal.
How Lotus shoes fit
This guide provides fitting advice. Use the size labels on the product and ask us if you need help comparing sizes.
- For a formal shoe such as Holgate, try your normal dress socks and adjust the laces to hold the instep comfortably.
- For a sandal such as Bruno, adjust the straps and check that the heel and toes sit within the footbed without overhanging.
- A padded collar or cushioned footbed adds comfort but does not establish a wide fitting. Ask us about the model if you need more room.
Between sizes?
Compare the two sizes with your usual size in this brand. Your toes should have room while your heel stays secure. If the length feels right but the sides pinch, look for a wider shape rather than automatically choosing a longer shoe.
Brand guidance is a starting point. Product-specific details and the way the shoe holds your foot also matter.
How to measure your feet →When your shoes arrive: a quick fit check
Try them indoors on a clean surface before deciding to keep them.
- Try both shoes. Wear your usual socks or tights and any insoles you intend to use. Adjust the fastenings.
- Check toe room. Your toes should move comfortably, without pressing against the front or being squeezed at the sides.
- Take a few steps. Check for persistent heel slipping, rubbing or pressure across the top of your foot.
- Something feels wrong? Ask us before wearing them outside. A different width or shape may help more than changing size.
How to measure your feet
- Place a sheet of paper on a hard, level floor with one edge against a wall. Wear the socks you plan to wear with the shoes.
- Stand with your heel gently against the wall and your weight on the foot. Have someone mark the end of your longest toe, keeping the pencil upright.
- Measure from the wall edge to the mark in centimetres. Repeat for your other foot and use the longer measurement. Measuring towards the end of the day can be helpful.
Only compare this measurement with a chart labelled foot length. An insole or shoe measurement may include extra space and is not interchangeable. Do not add an allowance unless that brand’s instructions specifically say to.
