How to Measure Your Foot
To ensure you select the correct Wilson shoe size, follow these precise measurement steps:
- Stand barefoot with your heels positioned firmly against a wall. Ensure your weight is distributed evenly across both feet.
- Place a straight object, such as a book or piece of cardboard, horizontally on the floor directly in front of your longest toe, ensuring it makes contact with the toe.
- Measure the distance from the wall to the front edge of the object using a ruler, tape measure, or measuring tape. Record this measurement in centimetres.
- Repeat this process with your other foot, as foot sizes can vary slightly between left and right.
- If your two feet produce different measurements, use the longer measurement when selecting your size.
- Cross-reference your foot length measurement with the shoe size chart provided below to determine your correct Wilson shoe size.
- If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size for optimal comfort during extended wear and play.

Wilson Padel Shoe Sizing
Wilson padel shoes are purpose-designed for the demands of padel tennis, featuring enhanced lateral support and grip technology. The sizing for padel shoes follows the standard Wilson shoe size chart provided above. However, padel shoes may have a slightly different fit profile compared to traditional tennis shoes, with some players preferring a snug fit for enhanced court movement. When selecting padel shoes, ensure you measure your foot length carefully and consider the specific court surface where you will primarily play, as this can influence cushioning preferences.
Note on International Sizing: Wilson shoes are manufactured to consistent international standards. However, there can occasionally be minor variations between different shoe models or manufacturing batches. If you have previously purchased Wilson shoes and found your size, we recommend using that same size for consistency. If ordering from a different region than your normal retailer, verify the origin to ensure sizing consistency.
Sizing Tips for Wilson Shoes
- Measure in the afternoon: Feet naturally swell slightly throughout the day and can be up to a half-size larger in the afternoon or evening. For the most accurate measurement, measure your feet when they are at their largest, typically in the late afternoon.
- Wear the socks you'll play in: If you intend to wear specific court socks whilst playing, wear them during your fitting or measurement process. Thick cushioned socks can affect shoe fit, so this small adjustment ensures a perfect match during actual use.
- Leave room for movement: Tennis and padel require explosive lateral movements and quick direction changes. Ensure there is approximately a finger's width (about 1 cm) of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. This prevents blistering during extended play whilst maintaining the necessary snug fit around the heel and midfoot.
- Half-size discrepancies in women's shoes: Wilson women's shoes may occasionally present minor half-size variations in fit compared to men's sizes. If you fall between two sizes, sizing up is generally recommended to prevent discomfort during intense court sessions.
- Consider your playing style: If you play predominantly on hard courts, you may prefer a slightly roomier fit to accommodate the additional impact absorption. On clay courts, a snugger fit often provides better court responsiveness and foot stability.
- Break-in period: New Wilson shoes typically require a short break-in period of 2–3 hours of light play. The cushioning systems and synthetic materials will conform to your foot shape, so don't assume an initially snug fit is incorrect. However, the shoe should never cause pain during this period.
- Verify the country of purchase: Occasionally, shoes sold in different regions may have slightly different sizing specifications. When ordering internationally, confirm the retailer's location and returns policy to ensure you can exchange sizes if needed.
- Width considerations: Wilson shoes are generally cut with a standard width fitting suitable for most players. If you have particularly narrow or wide feet, consider ordering from a retailer with a generous return policy, or visit a physical store to try on multiple pairs before committing to your purchase.
Returns and Size Exchanges
Most authorised Wilson retailers offer straightforward returns and exchanges within 30 days of purchase. If you receive shoes that don't fit correctly, check with your retailer regarding their specific return window and postage policies. Many retailers provide free returns on size exchanges, particularly for orders over certain value thresholds. Before initiating a return, ensure you've only tried the shoes indoors and that they show no signs of court wear, as this may affect your eligibility for exchange or refund.
When in doubt, contact Wilson's customer service: If you remain uncertain about your size after reviewing the charts above, Wilson's customer support team can provide personalised assistance. They can also advise on specific shoe models' fit characteristics, as some models may run slightly tight or loose depending on their construction and intended use.
