Nike Size Guide
About Nike Sizing
Nike is one of the world's leading athletic footwear and apparel brands, renowned for innovation, performance, and style. Nike serves athletes and casual wearers of all ages, from infants through to adults. The brand's sizing philosophy emphasises performance-focused fit, with shoes and clothing designed to support athletic movement whilst maintaining comfort during everyday wear.
Important Nike Sizing Information:
Nike shoes tend to run slightly smaller than competitors such as Adidas or Reebok, and customers often find they need to size up by half a size. Additionally, Nike's width measurements are often snugger, particularly for those with wider feet. The conversion between US men's and women's sizes differs from other brands — a men's US 10 equals approximately a women's US 11.5. Always measure your actual foot length and refer to the appropriate size chart for your gender and category.
How to Measure Your Foot Length
To find your correct Nike shoe size, measure your foot length using this method:
- Secure a piece of plain paper to a hard, flat surface using tape, ensuring it cannot slip during measurement.
- Stand on the paper with your feet shoulder-width apart, distributing your weight evenly. You may measure one foot at a time.
- Ask a friend or family member to mark the paper at two points: the tip of your big toe and the outermost part of your heel, using a pen or pencil held perpendicular to the paper.
- Step off the paper carefully and use a ruler or tape measure to measure the straight-line distance between the two marks.
- Repeat the process with your other foot, as it is common for feet to differ slightly in length.
- Use the longer of your two measurements to determine your size using the size chart below.
- If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort and room during athletic activity.
