Geox Size Guide
About Geox
Geox is an innovative Italian footwear company founded in 1995 by Mario Moretti Polegato, renowned for pioneering breathable shoe technology. The brand’s signature patented microporous membrane allows vapour to escape whilst blocking water, keeping feet comfortable and dry throughout the day. This revolutionary technology was born from necessity when Moretti Polegato punctured holes in his rubber soles during a walk in the Nevada desert, discovering that footwear could be both waterproof and breathable.
Geox shoes are specifically designed with a comfortable, roomy fit that prioritises all-day comfort and breathability. The brand is ideal for those seeking quality European footwear that combines contemporary style with functional innovation. Whether you’re purchasing dress shoes, trainers, or everyday casual footwear, Geox offers something for every occasion.
How to Measure Your Feet
To ensure you order the correct Geox shoe size, follow these simple measurement steps:
- Place your bare foot on a sheet of paper with your heel resting against a wall.
- Using a pencil or pen, draw a line in front of your longest toe, perpendicular to the paper.
- Measure the distance in centimetres between the edge of the sheet (at the wall) and the line you’ve drawn.
- Check this measurement against the relevant size chart below to determine your correct Geox shoe size.
- For the most accurate fit, measure both feet as they may differ slightly, and use the larger measurement.
- Measure your feet later in the day when they are slightly swollen, as this is when they are largest.
- Try Geox shoes with the socks you plan to wear regularly to ensure optimal comfort.
Note: Measurements listed in size guides may differ from those printed on shoe packaging, as they refer to different measurement methodologies. If you require further clarification, please contact Geox Customer Service.

Geox Model-Specific Fit Information
Geox manufactures shoes across numerous styles and collections, and fit can vary between different models. Here’s what you should know about popular Geox ranges:
- Nebula Sneaker Range: These trainers are the most oversized in the Geox collection. Consider going down a full size, or at minimum half a size smaller than your usual shoe size.
- Uomo Symbol Dress Shoes: These formal shoes tend to fit closer to true size compared to other Geox styles, though they still maintain the brand’s characteristic roomy fit.
- Medos and Capitale Lines (Men’s): These specific collections use a different fit profile from standard Geox models. Refer to the dedicated size guide for these collections, as they utilise UK sizing rather than the standard Geox sizing system.
- Women’s Styles: Generally run about half a size large, so sizing down is recommended for most female customers.
- Spherica Collection: A popular range that maintains the classic Geox comfort fit; use standard sizing guidelines with the half-size down adjustment.
How to Measure for Clothing
Chest Measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground and snug but not tight.
Waist Measurement: Measure the narrowest part of your natural waist, typically just above the hip bone.
Hip Measurement: Stand with feet together and wrap a tape measure around the widest part of your hips and bottom.
Sizing Tips for Geox Shoes & Clothing
- Size Down Half a Size: Due to Geox’s intentionally generous and comfortable fit, first-time buyers should typically order half a size smaller than their usual shoe size. This applies especially to women’s styles and the popular Nebula sneaker range.
- Narrow Feet?: If you have narrow feet, definitely size down. Geox’s roomy fit is designed for average to wide feet, so going half a size (or in some cases a full size) smaller will help achieve a more snug, secure fit.
- Wear the Right Socks: Always try Geox shoes with the type of socks you plan to wear regularly. This ensures the fit is accurate for your typical footwear combinations and prevents surprises once you start wearing them.
- Measure Later in the Day: Your feet swell naturally throughout the day as you stand and walk. Measure your feet in the afternoon or evening when they are at their largest to ensure you order a size that will be comfortable all day long.
- Check Model-Specific Guides: Geox fit varies significantly by model. Some styles like the Nebula range are particularly oversized, whilst dress shoes like the Uomo Symbol are closer to true size. Always check whether your specific style has a dedicated sizing guide before ordering.
- Geox’s Breathable Technology: The microporous sole in Geox shoes creates a slightly roomier fit to accommodate the innovative breathing technology. This is intentional — the extra space allows for proper air circulation and vapour escape, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable throughout the day.
- European Sizing Standard: Geox uses standard European (EU) sizing. If you’re accustomed to UK or US sizing, remember the conversions: EU 40 equals UK 6.5 or US 7 (women) or US 7.5 (men). Always refer to the detailed conversion charts above when ordering.
- Return Policy for Peace of Mind: Most retailers offer generous return policies on Geox products. Take advantage of this to order multiple sizes and find your perfect fit without penalty. Ensure you understand the return timeframe before purchasing.
- Contact Customer Service for Questions: Measurements in Geox size guides may occasionally differ from those printed on shoe boxes, as they use different measurement methodologies. If you’re uncertain about sizing after reviewing these charts, contact Geox Customer Service for personalised guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions About Geox Sizing
Do all Geox shoes fit the same?
No, Geox sizing varies by model. While the brand overall runs large with a generous fit, individual styles — from the Nebula trainers to Uomo Symbol dress shoes to the Spherica collection — can have different fit characteristics. Always consult model-specific guides for your exact style before ordering.
How do I convert Geox sizes between EU, US, and UK?
Geox uses standard European sizing. The detailed conversion charts above provide exact conversions for women’s and men’s shoe sizes. As a general guide: EU 40 = UK 6.5 or US 7 (women) or US 7.5 (men). For clothing, EU sizes typically align with UK sizes (EU 36 = UK 8, EU 38 = UK 10, etc.).
How does Geox sizing compare to Nike or Adidas?
Geox uses standard European sizing, which is consistent with other European brands. However, Geox tends to run larger than Nike or Adidas. You may typically need a smaller size in Geox compared to American athletic brands. Always check individual model comparisons, as fit can vary between brands.
Which Geox models run small or large?
The Nebula sneaker range is the most oversized Geox collection — consider going down a full size. The Uomo Symbol dress shoes run closer to true size. Most other styles fall in between, running half a size large. Women’s styles generally run about half a size large. Browse model-specific sizing guides for your particular shoe.
Should I size down in Geox shoes?
Yes, first-time Geox buyers should strongly consider sizing down half a size from their usual size. The brand’s comfortable, roomy fit is intentional and designed for all-day wear. If you have narrow feet, sizing down a full size may be more appropriate. Always measure your feet using the guidelines above for the most accurate fit.
Are Geox shoes true to size?
Geox shoes are listed as "true to size" according to the official size charts, but this reflects the brand’s generous, intentional fit design. In practical terms, they run slightly large. If you typically wear a size 8, you might order a 7.5 or even a 7 in Geox shoes depending on the model and your foot width.
