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:

  1. Put on the socks you normally wear with dress shoes.
  2. Stand with your heel touching a straight wall.
  3. Place a sheet of paper under your foot and mark your longest toe.
  4. Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimeters.
  5. Repeat with your other foot and use the longer measurement.

If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
