Vans Shoe Size Chart
Vans's own published size chart, covering a 21.5cm to 34cm foot, with 2 real width fittings rather than length alone, including a children's chart Vans publishes itself. Every figure below is keyed to a measured foot length rather than converted from another size number. Open the calculator with Vans selected to read it against all 35 brands at once.
Does Vans run small?
For women's sizes, yes. By its own size chart, Vans is in line with most brands in men's sizes and runs about half a size small in women's sizes. A 24 cm foot is a women's US 7 in 16 of 34 other brands' charts, and a US 7.5 in Vans. Charts show how a brand means its sizes to fit, not how any one shoe feels, so read Vans's own fit advice below as well.
| Foot length | Vans | Most common in other brands |
|---|---|---|
| Men's, 25.5 cm | US 7.5 | US 7.5 (20 of 34) |
| Men's, 27 cm | US 9 | US 9 (22 of 34) |
| Men's, 28.5 cm | US 10.5 | US 10.5 (19 of 34) |
| Women's, 23 cm | US 6.5 | US 6 (15 of 33) |
| Women's, 24 cm | US 7.5 | US 7 (16 of 34) |
| Women's, 25 cm | US 8.5 | US 8 (16 of 34) |
How this is worked out: every foot length from 25 to 29 cm (men's) and 22.5 to 26 cm (women's), in 1 mm steps, is read against Vans's chart and the other 34 brands' charts the way the calculator reads them, rounding up between sizes. The answer is the average gap between Vans's size and the size the other brands give most often. See the methodology.

How to measure for Vans
Vans sizing is unisex; measure bare or socked foot length heel-to-toe, standing, in the afternoon when feet are largest.
Vans fit guidance
Vans classic styles (Authentic, Old Skool, Sk8-Hi) often run about a half size large; if between sizes, many wearers size down half a size. Verified against three independently-agreeing sources for Vans's own unisex chart. Vans kids' shoes are sized on the same heel-to-toe basis as their adult range, running roughly 10.5C to 7Y. Measure the child's foot and match the length; where a measurement falls between sizes, size up.
