Vans sizing

11 replies

I have my eyes on a pair of Vans in the sale. Trainer sizing is always a bit of gamble so do I need my usual shoe size (6) my usual trainer size (6.5) or something else? Can any regular Vans wears let me know how they usually fit.

I am a 5 or a 5.5 at best so have to go for a 6 in Vans - the 5 is way too tight but the 6 is too big but manageable with an insole.

Thanks Paddler I'm thinking I should probably go for the 6.5.

I'm a size 6 and always bought 6. I think they're true

I'm a 5eee - really wide feet. I get a 5.5 in Vans and they're perfect

DS is a 9 usually and a 10 in Vansp

Dd is normally 3 but just recently got vans and needed a size 4.

Thanks - I've bitten the bullet and ordered two pairs of 6.5's so fingers crossed they will fit.

All my kids wear their usual size in vans

Should add they are adult size feet

Going to go against the grain. I'm a size 7 in all other shoes and I get 6.5 in Vans and they fit perfectly. My daughter is also 7 and gets 6.5. The size 7's feel like boats.

If they are massive I'll just have to get insoles and wear think socks. I've got small feet for my height so if they are a bit on the big side I won't look like a 🤡
