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

    Between sizes?

    Ara offers half sizes in selected styles. If you fall between two sizes, or your usual size is roomy at the heel but tight across the front, ask us which size and width suit that model.

    With Ara, choosing the right width is just as useful as choosing the right size. The collection includes both slim and roomier shapes.

    • Read the width: F½ is a slimmer fit; G and G½ are normal widths; H and H½ offer extra width. Use the width listed for this pair rather than assuming every Ara shoe is wide.
    • HighSoft explained: HighSoft combines soft materials with cushioning and flexibility. It describes comfort features, so check the width separately.
    • Removable footbeds: Many Ara styles have removable insoles, but check your chosen pair. Try your own insole in the shoe and check toe room, instep pressure and heel hold.

    I am between sizes

    Ara offers half sizes in selected styles. If you fall between two sizes, or your usual size is roomy at the heel but tight across the front, ask us which size and width suit that model.

    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.

    Ara Sapporo Black Bronze Wide Fit Trainers

    The Ara Sapporo black and bronze trainers combine a sporty shape with subtle metallic detailing. Soft black leather panels are complemented by bronze-flecked sections, gold-tone accents and a fine bronze trim through the raised black sole.

    The flexible Fusion Stretch panel across the forefoot adapts to the shape of your foot, helping to reduce pressure around sensitive bunion or Hallux Valgus areas. Combined with an H wide fit, soft all-round padding and Ara HighSoft technology, it creates a more accommodating and comfortably cushioned trainer.

    Comfort Features

    • H wide fit provides noticeably more room across the foot.
    • Fusion Stretch forefoot panel adapts around bunions and sensitive areas.
    • Ultra-light construction keeps the trainer comfortable for everyday wear.
    • Ara HighSoft technology creates a soft, cushioned walking feel.
    • Soft all-round padding helps prevent uncomfortable pressure points.
    • Moisture-regulating terry lining helps maintain a fresher foot climate.
    • Removable bamboo-fibre footbed can be replaced with suitable personal insoles.
    • Laces allow the fit to be adjusted when required.
    • Working side zip makes the trainers quicker to put on and remove.

    How to Wear Them

    The black base makes these trainers easy to coordinate, while the bronze details add a warmer finish. Wear them with black trousers, jeans or leggings for everyday outings, travelling and casual lunches. They also work well with camel, cream, khaki and other warm neutral shades.
