Sizing Tips

Quick Tips:

  1. Don’t forget to try the FeetSizer App!
  2.  If you are between sizes, order the larger size and request our custom insoles
  3. Lace-ups, boots, and sneakers tend to fit true to size.
  4. Loafers, Belgian slippers, boat shoes, and drivers tend to run a 1/2 size small.

Here at Robert August our footwear fits true to size, which means you should order the size you usually wear or, more specifically, the size that appears most frequently in your closet.

If you are unsure of your size we’ve compiled some helpful information here for you. Don’t forget we also have partnered with FeetSizr  you can use their app to measure your feet and use that information to order your shoes. More information here.

Comparing Lasts

When comparing two different shoes you should know that, despite their external differences, the inner shape is the key element when it comes to fitting.
See below a comparison between two Wholecut shoes as an example, both with the same size (42 EU).
As you can see, the long and narrow toe shape of the 773 last generates a larger blind / unused space at the toe. How much space you have in front of the toe varies depending on the type of shoe and its toe shape.
That is why, even though the shoe on the right is 1 cm longer (total length measured from the heel to the tip of the toe) both shoes are effectively the same size.
Admittedly, there’s no point in comparing the fitting of two different shoes only based on their total length.
The one on the left is made using the Zurigo Last (rounded toe) and the other one uses the 773 Last (long chisel toe).
