Sizing Guidelines

All sizes shown are U.S. sizes. Sizing standards vary among different manufacturers, so we recommend that you order the size that normally fits you best. Shoes For Crews footwear tries to maintain consistent sizing for all of our different styles, and our sizes generally run true to U.S. sizing standards. If your shoes do not fit, don't worry - you are covered by our Satisfaction Guarantee!

All available sizes will be displayed in the Select Size drop-down menu. If a size is not shown in the list for the style that you are viewing, then we do not make that size. If you are between sizes, we recommend that you order the 1/2 size larger. Sorry, we cannot special order unavailable sizes.

All styles are made with a standard medium width. Some styles are available in wide sizes, which is an EE width for men and a C width for women. If wide sizes are not listed when you select a size, then wide sizes are not available for the style you are viewing.

Fitting Tips and Guidelines

  • When measuring your feet, measure both feet and fit to the larger size.

  • Best time to measure & fit shoes – when your feet are at their largest volume, usually in the late afternoon or evening.

  • Always try to fit your new shoes with the same hose/socks you will wear regularly with this category of shoe.

  • If you use an insert or orthotic inside your shoes, consider the extra volume when fitting new shoes.  If your new shoes have a removable insert, remember to remove this and replace with it with your own insert or orthotic.  Inserts or orthotics affect the way a shoe fits.

  • Select a SFC shoe style that best matches your foot shape.

  • Make sure the widest part of your foot (the girth around the ball) fits comfortably into the widest part of the shoe.  Shoes should be as wide as your feet and a thumb’s length (1/2 inch) longer than your longest toe when standing.

  • Wiggle your toes to make sure you have enough toe room.

  • Don’t select a shoe too small to avoid heel slippage.  Your shoes should ‘break’ nicely across the forepart, even when new. 

  • Boots are more supportive and durable but may be heavier and less flexible in the forepart.

  • Try your new SFC shoes at home or on a clean surface for a few minutes before deciding fit and comfort.

  • Remember the size of your feet change as you grow older, normally they get larger.

  • Don’t buy shoes too tight and expect them to stretch to fit.

  • Thick soled shoes cushion your feet better on hard surfaces.

  • A laced or Velcro® closure shoe usually fits more securely than a slip-on or pump style.

  • Low heeled shoes are more comfortable and safer than high heeled shoes.
