👟 Shoe Fit & Size Guide – RunMotion

The right fit makes all the difference between a good run and a great one. Follow these tips to find your perfect pair of RunMotion running shoes.

📏 How do I find my perfect running shoe size?

Running shoes should fit snug but not tight, leaving about a thumb’s width (1 cm) of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Your heel should feel secure, with minimal slipping.
The midfoot should feel comfortably supported.
Toes should have room to move naturally while running.

Use our Size Guide for brand-specific conversions (US, UK, EU).

📈 Should I size up or down for running shoes?

Most runners prefer to go half a size up from their casual shoe size.
This extra room helps prevent blisters and black toenails during longer runs when your feet may swell slightly.
If you typically wear thick socks or run in hot weather, sizing up is recommended.

🦶 How to measure my foot length and width at home

Place a sheet of paper against a wall and stand on it barefoot.
Make sure your heel touches the wall and mark the tip of your longest toe.
Measure the distance from the wall to the mark — that’s your foot length.
Repeat for both feet (one is often slightly longer).
Use our size chart to find your corresponding size.

To measure width, wrap a measuring tape around the widest part of your foot and compare it to standard width charts (B for narrow, D for standard, 2E for wide).

😕 What if my shoes feel too tight or too loose?

Too tight: Try loosening the laces, removing the insole temporarily, or sizing up half a size.
Too loose: Try thicker socks, a heel lock lacing technique, or sizing down half a size.

💡 Pro Tip: Always try on running shoes in the evening — your feet naturally expand throughout the day, giving you a more accurate fit.
