How to measure
Jana women’s size conversion
EU UK (approx.) Foot length (cm) 36 3.5 22.5 37 4 23.2 38 5 23.8 39 6 24.5 40 6.5 25.1 41 7.5 25.8 42 8 26.5
These are foot measurements, not insole or shoe lengths. Do not add extra room to your measurement before using this table.
Between sizes? If you are between two EU sizes and the style only comes in full sizes, Jana’s general guidance is to choose the larger. If that leaves your heel loose, ask us about the fit of that model. UK equivalents in the table are approximate.
Finding your comfortable fit
Width fitting Wide
Fastening Velcro
Jana is designed with extra width in mind, but the collection uses different fittings. Check whether your chosen pair is G, H or Relax Fit.
Width and length are different: H is a wide fitting. The size number tells you the length, so extra width does not mean you should automatically go down a size. Choose the right hold: Laces and adjustable straps help you set the fit across the instep. On a Mary Jane, the strap should hold your foot without pressing into it. Check the insole: A cushioned footbed is not always removable. If you use your own insoles, look for removable-insole information for the individual style.

I am between sizes If you are between two EU sizes and the style only comes in full sizes, Jana’s general guidance is to choose the larger. If that leaves your heel loose, ask us about the fit of that model. UK equivalents in the table are approximate.
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.
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.

Measure both feet
Foot length Heel against wall 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.
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
1 2 3 Forefoot Toes can move and the widest part of your foot feels comfortable, without squeezing at the sides.
Instep The top of your foot feels secure without tight pressure. Adjust laces or straps where available.
Heel Your heel sits securely as you walk, without persistent slipping or rubbing.
