Nike trainers sizing (womens)?

21 replies

I’m a 4 in ‘normal’ shoes but sometimes get a 5 in a running shoe. (Nike also do a 4.5 which has thrown me!) Haven’t bought a pair of Nikes for years - can anyone advise on how the sizing comes up? (Am ordering online and would love not to have to go through the palaver of returning! 🤞🏼) TIA.

I’ve always found Nike very true to size - I’m a 5.5 in most shoes and so always bought 5.5 in Nike. But IMO they’ve really gone downhill in the last few years - haven’t lasted nearly as long nor been as comfortable. I’d personally recommend Brooks instead for running, but that’s just me!

I've found them usually true to size but lately a couple have been on the smaller size

I've always found Nike to be quite generous (accurate) to size and no difference between the men's and women's sizes - unlike eg Adidas where even one size bigger is too tight. For reference I have fairly narrow feet with high insteps, I am normally between a 7 and 8 and Nike 7.5s fit me perfectly with plenty of room.
You should probably try a 4 to start with (maybe 4.5 depending on style).

I have quite wide feet and can wear a 7 in sketchers but need an 8 in Nike for width more than length

I got sone size 4 nikes a few months ago and they were tight!! Took a lot of breaking in(which I don’t expect for trainers!) now they are fine but very frustrating so maybe try the 4.5

I'm a standard 4 in everything EXCEPT Nike. Always take a 5 in running shoes, 4.5 in every other trainer. I make my sister do the same. The 4 is VERY snug.

Shopgirl1 · 17/01/2022 21:59

Are you buying fashion shoes or running shoes? It’s normal to go up a half size or a size in running shoes to avoid destroyed toes.

Miraloma · 17/01/2022 22:02

I have Nikes from 4.5-6. It's totally style dependant unfortunately!

User574773662 · 17/01/2022 22:12

Their fashion shoes are quite roomy, I always size up, but their running shoes are fairly small….

imnottoofussed · 17/01/2022 22:29

I personally have found them to be small. I've got Nike sb and Nike Thea and both had to go up in size and in fact the Thea are really too narrow and not that comfortable and the sb are slightly too short in the toe length. I'm contemplating ordering some venture runners but not sure whether to go up even another half size

Rollergirl11 · 17/01/2022 22:32

I’m a 4 in normal shoes. I have some Nike Air Zoom Pegasus trainers for running that I ordered in 4.5. They are a perfect fit for me. DD has Air Max 90’s and 270’s in 4 and they are true to size.

TokyoSushi · 17/01/2022 22:34

I'm a 5, I have 5.5 Nikes, perfect fit although I have had a 5 before which were too small.

I'd suggest you go up a .5

Einszwei · 17/01/2022 22:35

I am normally a 5 but always get Nike trainers in a 6.

TheFlis12345 · 17/01/2022 22:35

I agree with @Miraloma, it is style dependent. I have Nikes ranging from 7-8.5.

QuizzicalEyebrows · 18/01/2022 12:23

Nikes tend to be true to size. I find adidas always slightly small to size.

IvorCutler · 18/01/2022 14:20

They are always true to size for me.

IvorCutler · 18/01/2022 14:20

Nike that is

NewYearEveryYear · 18/01/2022 14:27

Nike running shoes - size up.
Nike children's trainers (for adults) - size up.
Nike fashion trainers - true to size.

All in my experience.

CovidCurious · 18/01/2022 18:23

I take a UK 8 EU42 Nike 8.5

imnottoofussed · 19/01/2022 21:06

Anyone happen to have a discount code for Nike website?
