Choosing the right shoe size is essential for your comfort and foot health. Lottusse provides a comprehensive guide to accurately determine your size, identify the risks of improper footwear, offer strategies for selecting the best fit across different styles, and include specific recommendations for online purchases, ensuring you find the perfect pair.
Wearing the correct shoe size is essential not only for comfort but also for preventing future health issues. Constantly wearing ill-fitting shoes can lead to pain, blisters, calluses, and deformities, negatively affecting your feet, posture, and overall well-being.
Typical problems include blisters, toe deformities, joint pain, and in severe cases, changes in the biomechanics of the foot. These can easily be avoided by choosing the correct size.
To determine your size accurately, follow these steps:
1. Prepare a sheet of paper and a pencil.
2. Place your bare foot on the paper, ensuring the heel is aligned with the edge.
3. Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure the distance from the edge of the paper.
4. Measure the widest part of your foot.
5. Repeat the process for both feet, as they may differ slightly in size.
A simple ruler or tape measure is usually sufficient. For greater precision, try using a device like the Brannock foot measuring tool.
Remember, most people have one foot slightly larger than the other. Always try on both shoes and choose the size that fits the larger foot best.
Choosing the right size is essential for ensuring comfort, avoiding discomfort, and caring for the health of your feet. Here are some practical tips to make the best decision when selecting your shoe size.
Each brand has its own sizing system, so it’s important to consult the specific size guide available on our website. At Lottusse, we provide detailed charts for each model, showing the equivalents between EU, UK, US, IT, and FR sizing systems. You’ll find this information in each product sheet next to the available sizes.
Try on shoes at the end of the day, when your feet are slightly swollen, to get a more accurate feel of the fit. Depending on the shoe type, sizes may run smaller or larger, but this information is indicated in each product description. Discover all shoe types available from Lottusse for men and women.
Ensure there’s about 1 cm of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe, the heel doesn’t slip, and the arch of the shoe matches your own arch.
High-quality leather shoes like those from Lottusse tend to mold to your foot over time. However, it’s important that they feel comfortable from the first wear and do not cause discomfort.
When choosing sandals, it’s essential that the fit is perfect to ensure all-day comfort. Look for models with adjustable straps for a more tailored fit. This allows you to adjust the hold at the ankle, instep, or toes as needed. Also, ensure the shoe is neither too tight nor too loose, especially around the straps.
Most of our sneakers are crafted using the innovative "glove" technique, meaning the shoe gently conforms to your foot, offering a precise and comfortable fit. To choose the right size, we recommend selecting one with a slight space at the toe to allow your toes to move freely.
When choosing ankle boots, it’s crucial to ensure there is enough space for your toes to move without pressure on the front of the shoe. Also, make sure the instep is not too tight, as this can cause discomfort and hinder movement. A well-fitted boot should hug the foot without restricting it.
