what size do I have?
- Stand vertically on a piece of paper and trace your feet. Then measure the maximum length in cm and determine your UK size
- Please do not add anything to this. Yes, your foot needs some space because the foot moves in the shoe as it rolls. This has already been taken into account in the table when converting.
- If you have wide feet, you don't need to add anything, as almost all Jim Green shoes are already wide. Wide width EE (almost all Jim Green models). Normal width D (e.g. Shoellie, Baobab, Numzaan) .
- Please call us if you have any doubts. Shop with peace of mind as you can exchange your size at any time.
