Men’s Shoe Size Guide
Shoescoo dress shoes are handcrafted using EU sizing molds. This guide helps you choose your perfect fit with US–EU conversions, at-home measurement instructions, and comparisons to popular brands. All US orders include Free Shipping & Free Returns, so finding your size is completely risk-free.
How Shoescoo Sizing Works
- If you wear Nike / Adidas, choose the 1/2 half US size.
- If you wear Allen Edmonds, choose your usual size.
- If you wear Cole Haan, choose your usual size.
- Shoescoo fits true-to-size (TTS) with a comfortable break-in.
Quick At-Home Measurement Method
Use this simple method to confirm your size at home:
- Put on the socks you normally wear with dress shoes.
- Stand with your heel touching a straight wall.
- Place a sheet of paper under your foot and mark your longest toe.
- Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimeters.
- Repeat with your other foot and use the longer measurement.
If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
