How to Measure
To ensure the most accurate fit and to minimise the need for returns, we recommend measuring your feet and body dimensions before placing an order. Follow these precise steps for the best results:
- Place a clean sheet of paper on a flat, hard surface, such as a wooden floor or tiled area. Ensure there is no carpet interference.
- Stand upright with your weight distributed evenly across both feet. Position your foot on the paper so that your heel is flush against the edge of the sheet.
- Using a sharp pencil, draw a line vertically along the longest part of your foot (typically the tip of your big toe or second toe). Hold the pencil perpendicular to the paper to avoid measurement errors.
- Carefully remove your foot from the paper and use a ruler to measure the exact distance from the edge of the paper to the line you have drawn.
- Record this measurement in both centimetres and inches. We highly recommend measuring in centimetres for the most precise alignment with our EU sizing.
- Repeat this entire process for your other foot. It is common for one foot to be slightly larger than the other; always base your size selection on the larger measurement.
- For apparel, use a flexible measuring tape to measure around the fullest part of your chest, the narrowest part of your waist, and the widest part of your hips, ensuring the tape is snug but not constricting.

Product-Specific Guidance
Signature Sneakers: Our footwear is designed with a standard width profile to maintain a sleek, contemporary silhouette. If you find yourself with a wider foot or a higher instep, we recommend selecting one size larger than your standard measurement to ensure comfort around the metatarsal area and prevent constriction during long periods of wear.
Contemporary Apparel: Our apparel collection is crafted for a structured yet relaxed fit. For our t-shirts and hoodies, we suggest choosing your true size for a tailored, modern look. If you prefer a more oversized, streetwear-inspired aesthetic, consider sizing up by one full size. For our trousers, please refer closely to the waist measurements provided, as our contemporary cuts are designed to sit precisely on the natural waistline.
Sizing Tips
- Measure in the Evening: Always measure your feet towards the end of the day. Feet naturally swell slightly after prolonged walking or standing, and measuring then ensures your shoes will remain comfortable throughout the day.
- Account for Socks: When measuring for footwear, please do so while wearing the type of socks you intend to wear with our sneakers (e.g., crew socks or no-show liners), as thickness can significantly impact the internal volume of the shoe.
- The Larger Foot Rule: If you have asymmetrical feet, always base your size selection on the larger foot to prevent any discomfort or pressure points.
- Between Sizes? If your measurements fall directly between two sizes in our footwear range, we strongly recommend opting for the larger size to allow for natural toe movement and breathability.
- Check the Centimetres: While UK and US sizing are helpful, the centimetre (cm) measurement is the most precise way to align with our EU-based manufacturing standards.
- Width Considerations: Our sneakers are built on a standard last. If you are accustomed to wide-fit brands, please be aware that our contemporary silhouettes are designed for a more streamlined, narrower fit.
