The UC Fit Guide
Size Guide
Every pair we ship is hand-finished in our Cape Town workshop, so getting the fit right first time matters. Use the chart below to convert between UK, EU, US Men's, US Women's and true foot length (cm). If you're between sizes on a Jordan, AF1 or Dunk, we recommend sizing up. On runners and knits (Yeezy, NMD, Ultra Boost), stick to your true size.

Conversions are a guide. Fit varies slightly between silhouettes and brands.
How to Measure Your Foot
- 1
Stand on a blank sheet of A4 paper with your heel flush against a wall. Wear the socks you'd usually wear with sneakers.
- 2
Mark the tip of your longest toe on the paper with a pen held vertically.
- 3
Measure from the edge of the paper (your heel) to the mark in centimetres. Repeat on the other foot — use the longer measurement.
- 4
Match your measurement to the Foot Length column above. That's your true UK size.
Jordans & Dunks
Run about half a size small. If you're between, size up.
Runners & Knits
Yeezy, NMD, Ultra Boost, 550s — go true to your UK size.
Wide Feet?
Court silhouettes (AF1, Blazer) fit wider. Runners feel narrower — size up half.
