Vans size chart

Vans’ own size charts cover unisex 34.5–50, infant 1C–4C, toddler 2C–10C, little kid 10.5C–3Y, big kid 34.5–39, plus charts for socks.

Vans runs large in men’s shoes, against 23 other brands’ charts: size for size, its chart is made for a longer foot than another brand’s 57% of the time, about the same (within 2.5 mm) 33% and a shorter one 10%, typically by half a size. Go about half a size down from the size you wear in most brands, or size from your foot length on its chart.

Does Vans run big or small?

From Vans’ own foot lengths: first against the other brands’ charts, size for size (whether a US size is made for a longer or shorter foot than theirs), then against the standard size tables, foot by foot. Brands measure differently (Nike’s chart, for one, prints a box size in centimetres beside the foot length and says the two differ), so this is what each chart advises, not a fit test.

Men’s

Vans runs large in men’s shoes, against 23 other brands’ charts: size for size, its chart is made for a longer foot than another brand’s 57% of the time, about the same (within 2.5 mm) 33% and a shorter one 10%, typically by half a size. Go about half a size down from the size you wear in most brands, or size from your foot length on its chart.

Against the standard size tables, Vans’ chart gives a US size half a size to 1½ sizes smaller for 12 of 12 foot lengths from 24.0 to 30.0 cm: its sizes allow a longer foot than the standard ones.

For example, Vans’ men’s US 9 is for a foot up to 27.0 cm (the standard US 9: 26.25 cm). The other 23 brands’ charts make it for a foot from 26.0 to 27.7 cm: 11 for a shorter foot than Vans’, 10 for about the same (within 1 mm) and 2 for a longer one.

Charts that size like Vans’: Saucony, Timberland, UGG, Dr. Martens, Fila, New Balance, Crocs and Under Armour. Charts that size like the standard tables: Nike, adidas, HEYDUDE, KEEN, SOREL, HOKA, ANTA, Clarks and Reebok.

Women’s

Vans sits in the middle in women’s shoes, against 21 other brands’ charts: size for size, its chart is made for a longer foot than another brand’s 19% of the time, about the same (within 2.5 mm) 33% and a shorter one 48%. Your usual US size is a good start; check your foot length on its chart.

Against the standard size tables, Vans’ chart gives a US size half a size to a size smaller for 11 of 12 foot lengths from 22.0 to 27.5 cm: its sizes allow a longer foot than the standard ones.

For example, Vans’ women’s US 8 is for a foot up to 24.5 cm (the standard US 8: 24.1 cm). The other 21 brands’ charts make it for a foot from 24.0 to 25.3 cm: 4 for a shorter foot than Vans’, 8 for about the same (within 1 mm) and 9 for a longer one.

Charts that size like Vans’: Saucony, Timberland, UGG, Dr. Martens, New Balance, SOREL, Teva, Zara, Golden Goose and Under Armour. Charts that size like the standard tables: KEEN, Clarks, Crocs and Reebok.
