Buying sneakers online is easy once you know your size. This guide helps you get the right fit the first time, whether you spend under ₹4000 or more.
Measure your foot
- Stand on a sheet of paper and mark the heel and the longest toe.
- Measure the distance in centimetres.
- Measure in the evening, when feet are slightly larger.
UK, US and Indian sizes
Most Indian brands list UK sizes. A UK 8 is roughly a US 9 for men. Always check the brand’s own size chart.
Tips for a better fit
- Leave about a thumb’s width of space at the toe.
- If you are between sizes, go up half a size or pick the larger one.
- Wear the socks you usually wear with sneakers when trying them.
Sizes at NAAW

Standard UK men’s foot-length chart
Use this as a starting point. These are the standard UK men’s figures for foot length, not measurements taken from NAAW’s own lasts, so always check the size guide on the product page as well.
| UK size | Foot length (cm) |
|---|---|
| 6 UK | 24.6 |
| 7 UK | 25.4 |
| 8 UK | 26.2 |
| 9 UK | 27.1 |
| 10 UK | 27.9 |
How to use the chart
- Measure both feet and use the longer one. Most people have one foot slightly bigger than the other.
- Find your measurement in the chart. If it falls between two sizes, choose the larger size.
- Check the size guide and the AI size finder on the product page of the sneaker you want before you order.
Common fit mistakes when buying sneakers online
- Measuring in the morning. Feet swell through the day, so an evening measurement is more reliable.
- Mixing up UK and US sizes. Check which system a brand uses before you compare sizes.
- Ignoring socks. Measure, or try on, with the kind of socks you wear with sneakers.
- Buying on the numbers alone. Shoe shape varies between brands, so read the fit notes on the product page.
