    Use this men's size guide as a starting point. Choose from the sizes available on this product; the chart does not indicate stock. Fit also depends on the shape and width of your foot.

    These are foot measurements, not insole or shoe lengths. Do not add extra room to your measurement before using this table.

    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.

    Finding your comfortable fit

    Width fitting
    Wide
    Fastening
    Lace-up · Zipper

    Ara men's shoes come in different widths, so match the width of this particular style as well as the size.

    • G is Ara's standard width; H offers more room and K is an extra-wide option where specified. Check the fit details for this pair.
    • HighSoft describes cushioning and flexibility, not a width fitting. A soft shoe still needs comfortable space across the forefoot.
    • On a lace-and-zip style, adjust the laces to your foot first, then use the zip for everyday access. Check for a removable footbed if you wear your own insoles.

    I am 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.

    I need more room across my toes

    Check the width fitting for this particular style. Your toes should have room to move without pressure at the sides. A longer size also adds length, so a wider fitting or a different toe shape may be a better choice. If no width is given, ask us to check this pair.

    Shoes feel tight over the top of my foot

    The instep is the top of your foot. Laces, adjustable straps or elastic can help you adjust the fit, but they do not make every style suitable for a higher instep. Check how far the shoe opens and avoid pressure over the top of your foot.

    My heel tends to slip

    Fasten the shoe as you would wear it and take a few steps indoors. If your heel keeps lifting or rubbing, check the fastening and the shape of the heel. A smaller size may squeeze your toes; a different style can be the better answer.

    I use my own insoles

    Look for a confirmed removable insole on this style. Removable does not guarantee enough depth for your own insole. Try the shoe with the insoles and socks you intend to wear, and check that your heel stays secure without pressure across the top.

    When your shoes arrive: a quick fit check

    Try them indoors on a clean surface before deciding to keep them.

    1. Try both shoes. Wear your usual socks or tights and any insoles you intend to use. Adjust the fastenings.
    2. Check toe room. Your toes should move comfortably, without pressing against the front or being squeezed at the sides.
    3. Take a few steps. Check for persistent heel slipping, rubbing or pressure across the top of your foot.
    4. Something feels wrong? Ask us before wearing them outside. A different width or shape may help more than changing size.

    Check our returns policy

    Measure both feet

    Foot lengthHeel against wall
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.

    Use centimetres only when this brand’s table includes foot length. If it does not, use the size conversion as a starting point and check the fitting advice. Foot length alone cannot tell you the width or depth you need.

    Check these three areas

    123
    1. Forefoot

      Toes can move and the widest part of your foot feels comfortable, without squeezing at the sides.

    2. Instep

      The top of your foot feels secure without tight pressure. Adjust laces or straps where available.

    3. Heel

      Your heel sits securely as you walk, without persistent slipping or rubbing.
