Foot length is the foot itself. The shoe is built with approximately 10 mm of toe room on top.
We do not make half sizes, and that is deliberate
Half sizes add about 4 mm of length. For the feet these shoes are built for, that is the least important 4 mm on the foot — what decides comfort is how much room there is across the forefoot and how far the shoe opens to let you in. The strap covers the small variation a half size would have handled.
If you are between sizes, take the larger one and tighten the strap.
How size and style choice work together
| Style | Opens to | Choose it if |
|---|---|---|
| DW-006 Twin-Strap Wide Fit Trainer | 34 mm | Standard trainers feel tight across the ball of the foot but you can still get them on, and you want the most structured, most shoe-like option |
| DW-013 Mesh Wide Fit Trainer | 46 mm | Feet run hot, damp or sore across the forefoot, and you want the most breathable shoe and the easiest step across from an ordinary trainer |
| DW-015 Extra Wide Wrap Trainer | 58 mm | Bunions, hammer toes or a forefoot that has spread, or an orthotic that needs vertical room as well as girth |
| DW-019 Full-Wrap Extra Wide Trainer | 72 mm | Oedema, lymphoedema, bandaging, a dressing, or feet whose volume changes markedly between morning and evening |
There is no width fitting to choose. Every style comes in one extra-wide adjustable fitting per size, UK 3–12 (EU 36–46), whole sizes only, £49.99 on every style and every size. You choose the size, then set the width on your foot with the strap. "Opens to" is the gap the shoe makes across the instep with the strap fully released — the number that decides whether a foot, a dressing or a bandage can actually get in.
A useful rule: if a shoe hurts across the ball of the foot, that is a room problem however long the shoe is. If your toes hit the end, that is length. People routinely fix room problems by buying length, which produces a shoe that slips at the heel and still hurts. Choose your size from the chart above, then choose the style from how wide it needs to open.
Buying for someone else
Get a length measurement rather than a size — sizes people quote are frequently the size they wore years ago. Draw round the foot on paper, measure heel to longest toe in millimetres, and use the chart above. For the style, ask two questions: does anything rub across the forefoot, and how much of a fight is it to get a shoe on. Those answers put you on the ladder.
