What’s the best way to ensure I’m getting the right size?

endless.com carries a huge selection of brands and styles, some of which vary slightly in their sizing. If we know a shoe tends to run large or small, we’ll add that information to the product description. Most importantly, we rely on our customers to share their own experiences by rating the fit. Look for customer ratings on all product detail pages below the description – customers tell us (and you) if particular shoe makes and styles tend to run large or small.

How do I find the right fit?

Before You Buy

1. If shoes are only available in whole sizes, order the next half size up if you are in between sizes.
2. If you generally wear a narrow and the shoe isn’t offered in a narrow width, you may want go down a half size.
3. If you generally wear a wide and the shoe isn’t offered in a wider width, you may want to go a half size up to give the ball of your foot and your toes more space.
4. It’s normal for one foot to be larger than the other; fit against the larger foot.
5. If you don’t know your size in athletic shoes, generally order a half size larger than your normal size.
6. If you are familiar with the brand, order the same size you usually wear in that brand–the sizes displayed on our site are from the manufacturers.

After You Receive Your Shoes

1. Try your shoes on with the same socks or hosiery you plan to wear with them–this will add up to half a size depending on the thickness you prefer.
2. Try on your shoes indoors on a carpeted surface–this will protect the soles of the shoes in case you need to return or exchange them.
