What size to pick when it's a gift?
The easiest route: grab the size from a pair the person already wears, then cross-check with our size guide brand by brand. Sizing doesn't line up the same way across Nike, adidas, and New Balance, and this is where most gift mishaps happen.
- Jordan: most retros fit true to size, but the Jordan 4 has a narrower fit through the forefoot. Check the Jordan size guide if you're torn between two sizes.
- adidas: Sambas and the BW Army have a low volume and half-sizes in thirds, so it's worth checking the cm conversion.
- UGG: the clog fits a touch snug, and the lining softens with wear. If they're between sizes, go with their usual size.
- Slide: stick with their regular sneaker size, no need for extra room.
- Kids/GS: the New Balance 9060 in grade school cuts off early in the run, double-check your target size exists before hitting purchase.
And if you still get it wrong, don't panic: exchange and return terms are spelled out in our FAQ, worth a read before you wrap the box.
