Our sizes

Clothing

Mostly we use the size ranges Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large. These sizes correspond approximately to the following measurements:

Men's clothing
Size Small Medium Large XLarge
Chest (inches) 36 38-40 42 44
Waist (inches) 28-30 32 34 36
Women's clothing
Size Small Medium Large XLarge
Clothing size (UK) 10 12 14 16

Please note that some clothes produced by differing manufacturers may vary slightly from these approximate sizes. We cannot guarantee that the size of all items will exactly match this size chart.

Shoes

We use the UK sizing for our shoes.

Some manufacturers label their boxes with US sizes rather than UK sizes. For example. if you have ordered a shoe made by Nike, New Balance, Saucony and some Asics, you would expect to see the box labelled with the US size most prominently.

As a rule, a US size would be 1 size larger than a UK shoe size for a men's shoe, and 2 sizes larger than a UK shoe size for a women's shoe.

(Exceptions are New Balance and Adidas, for which the men's US size is half a size larger than the UK size, and Nike, for which the women's US size is 2 and a half sizes larger than the UK size.)

Children's shoes are generally half a size larger in US measurements than in UK measurements.

For example:

  • Men's US size 9 = UK size 8
  • Women's US size 9 = UK size 7
  • Children's US size 9 = UK size 8.5

Widths

New Balance shoes come in different widths:

  • Men - D is standard, 2E is wide fit
  • Women - B is standard/narrow and D is wide fit
