I wear US/Euro size “X”; what does that convert to in FiveFingers size?
Because FiveFingers require a precise fit, we do not convert standard US or Euro sizes to our products, although in Euro they may coincidentally be the same. Instead, we measure the foot in inches per the instructions below.
How do I determine my FiveFingers size?
Because FiveFingers require a precise fit we measure the foot in inches per our sizing instructions .
What if my second toe is longer than my big toe (otherwise known as Morton’s Toe or Greek Toe)?
In this instance, we recommend that you measure your foot to the end of your longest toe (in this case it is your second toe) . Please choose your FiveFingers size according to that measurement. If your second toe is significantly longer than your first toe, you may still try FiveFingers by following the instructions above. However, we warn that you may not achieve an ideal fit.
Do you make children’s sizes, or extra large sizes?
Currently, we do not make sizes below a Euro 36 or adult sizes above a Euro 47. We are considering adding them for the future. Use the sizing chart to see if your child may actually fit in one of the sizes we currently make.
Do FiveFingers come in different widths?
We do not make FiveFingers in different widths. However, FiveFingers can accommodate foot widths A through EEE due to their adjustability.

This entire process typically takes between 7 and 10 business days (not including transit time, weekends, holidays, or delays caused by weather).
