Cracking the Converse Code: A Guide to Finding Your Perfect Fit
Converse sneakers, renowned for their timeless appeal, can sometimes leave us puzzled with their sizing scheme. To ensure a seamless shopping experience, it’s essential to have accurate foot length measurements before navigating the size options.
To demystify the Converse sizing puzzle, we’ve extensively compared it to over 190 other shoe brands. Our findings shed light on how Converse shoes generally fit.
For men, Converse sneakers run true-to-size and can be ordered in your regular size. However, it’s worth noting that Chuck Taylor models tend to run larger than expected.
For women, Converse sneakers typically run half-a-size small, so it’s advisable to go up by half-a-size when choosing your pair. However, this rule doesn’t apply to Chuck Taylor models.
Important Note!
If you’re eyeing the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star or Chuck 70 sneakers, be prepared to make a size adjustment. For men, it’s recommended to go down by one full US size, while women should opt for a reduction of two full US sizes from their regular shoe size.
By following these guidelines, you can confidently navigate the Converse sizing maze and find the perfect fit for your next pair of stylish sneakers. Happy shoe shopping!
