True Motion Running Shoes Size Guide

Stand on a white sheet of paper without shoes, preferably in your running socks. Make gentle heel contact against a straight wall.

Draw a straight line across the paper above the longest toe (the big toe is not always the longest!) Measure both feet and use the larger measurement.

Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (where your heel is) to the line above your longest toe. Add 0.5 inches. Find your size below.

Why add 0.5 inches? See "Foot Measurement Tips" below.

Choose your running shoe one-half to one size larger than the size of your everyday shoes. A thumb's width (about 1.5 cm/0.5 inches) of space in the front of the running shoe is very important to avoid damage to your toes and to have a comfortable run.

You may have noticed that your feet change during the day and become thicker. This also happens when you run, and it's completely normal. With an extra thumb's width of space, you can avoid conditions like blue toes. That's why we recommend adding 1.5 cm/0.5 inches to your measured foot length.

It's best to measure your feet in the afternoon/evening.

An example of the calculation:

On your left foot, the second toe is the longest, bringing the length of your foot to 25 cm (9.8 inches). Adding 1.5 cm (0.5 inches) results in a shoe length of 26.5 cm (10.3 inches).

Do you prefer a slightly tighter or wider fit in your running shoes?

If in doubt, we recommend the larger shoe size!

You already have running shoes of a different brand that fit well.

You can use the sizes of the following brands as a guide when choosing your True Motion running shoes: Brooks, Asics, Saucony, Mizuno, New Balance. Just choose the same US size.
