Wearing a thicker material can help stretch out the shoe so your feet don’t suffer. Find a thick pair of socks, or two pairs of your everyday ones, and wear them under your new Vans shoes. Tie them up as normal – unless you’re breaking in a pair of our Slip-Ons of course – but don’t lace them up too tight!

Why are Nike sizes so small?
Nike is notorious for having a narrow design. For many people, this means needing to get a size 1-1.5 inches BIGGER than their normal size. It’s not necessarily “smaller”, just skinnier. But most people don’t have long, boney feet like characters in Medieval paintings.

As seen below, when it comes to both brands’ running shoes, Nike trainers are actually 0.2″ bigger than adidas trainers, thus making them a full 44 in EU sizing.

Will my Nikes stretch out?
No, running shoes don’t loosen up. But they do deform around the foot. And when they do that, it means that those shoes never did fit. A new pair of shoes should fit properly, right out of the box.
Which is more comfortable Vans or Converse?

Should Vans be tight or loose?
Tie them up as normal – unless you’re breaking in a pair of our Slip-Ons of course – but don’t lace them up too tight! The idea is to stretch the shoe out slightly for a more comfortable and personal fit to you. Wear your Vans around the house when you’re in – an hour or two each evening is perfect.
Should I wear socks with Vans?
Socks absorb a lot of sweat, and they’re easy to change and throw in the wash after each wear. They also make it easier to get your trainers on and off as your feet won’t be sticky with sweat. So it’s usually a good idea to wear socks with your Vans, even if you can’t see them.
Do Vans last long?
They last a long time but it all depends on how you take care of them! I’ve had mine for almost a year. They last even longer if you use a water resistant spray. More than a year if you treat them with care.
Should I size up or down for Converse?
In general, Converse fit bigger than your average shoe. On their site, the brand states that Converse fit a half size bigger but some people say to go down a full size, especially if you wear a larger size to start with. A great way to find your Converse size is by manually measuring your foot.
