making shoes
As I write this, I am wearing men’s Clearwater CNX sandals even though I identify as a woman. Clearwater sandals are also available in women’s sizing. But since these sandals have a more streamlined fit, I wanted to have a little extra wiggle room for my slightly wider forefoot. The men’s version made my feet happier, so I went with that.
Meanwhile, my KEENmate Jason really loves the new chevron print in Howser Canvas slip-ons, but they’re only available in women’s sizing. Turns out a women’s U.S. 11 fits him just right.
Shoes are largely unisex*; it’s the sizing that is gender-specific.
And if your feet are small enough, you can even purchase kids’ shoes.
TLDR: Nothing is stopping you from getting the pair of shoes you want. You just need to know how to convert women’s sizes to men’s and vice versa. Here’s how to do it:
What’s your men’s shoe size?
Quick answer: Subtract 1.5 sizes.
If you wear a women’s U.S. size 9, you may want to try a men’s 7.5. The best way to know is to check out the size chart and look at the length (heel-to-toe in centimeters) and match that up in men’s sizing. For example, a women’s 10 is equal to 25.9 centimeters, and a men’s 8.5 is 25.7 centimeters. This won’t work for everyone, though. If you have small feet, there might not be a men’s equivalent for you. But you might fit into kids’ shoes!
How to measure your foot? See our tips here.
What’s your women’s shoe size?
Quick answer: Add 1.5 sizes.
If you wear a men’s U.
S. size 9, you’ll want to try a women’s 10.5. As mentioned above, just match up the measurement in centimeters. This applies to all shoes, not just KEEN’s. For example, a men’s U.S. 9.5 is for 26.7cm long feet, and so is a women’s 11. If you have large feet, there might not be a women’s equivalent for you.
KEEN Tip: When your teen or tween starts to outgrow KEEN Kids shoes, they can probably fit into women’s shoes. A youth size 6 would be similar to a women’s 8 (both are for 24.1cm feet). Just follow the measurement on the size chart!
What’s your kids’ shoe size?
Quick answer: It depends if you normally wear men’s or women’s size shoes.
If you wear a small size in either one, you might be able to fit into youth sizes. To convert from women’s sizing, subtract 1.5 to 2 sizes. (A women’s U.S. size 5 equals a youth size 3, both are for a foot length of 21.6 centimeters.) To convert from men’s sizing, subtract .
5. (A men’s U.S. size 7.5 equals a youth size 7, both are for a foot length of 24.8 centimeters.)
We like thinking outside the box at KEEN, and sometimes that means picking the shoes you want no matter what it says on the outside of the box.
Happy shoe shopping for all genders!
*Our shoes with a women’s-specific fit are more narrow with a smaller Achilles heel area, and our men’s shoes do provide a bit more overall foot volume, since men’s feet tend to be fuller/broader.
Dr. Martens Shoe Size Chart
Here are a few pointers regarding Dr. Martens sizing:
- All sizes offered on the US site are in US sizing.
- Kid’s styles are made using a US Men’s size scale. Our Kid’s styles will display a US Men’s size, which is equivalent to a US Kid’s size.
- We offer whole sizes only. If you are a half size, we recommend going down to the nearest size.
- Fit may vary based on style. For instance, the fit of a Women’s style (offered only in women’s sizes on the product page) may be narrower than a Unisex/Men’s Style (listed in only men’s, or both men’s and women’s sizes on the product page) even in the same size.
- Going up a size will mainly change the length of the shoe, not the width.
- Sizes will be marked on the tongue of shoes, and the ankle strap of most sandals. Made in England styles will show the UK size, rather than the US size.
How to use our size guide:
- Inch measurements are of the length of the shoe insole, not the length of the foot meant to fit in that size.
- Measure your foot from heel to toe, while standing and wearing the socks you’d typically wear with that shoe or boot. Reference this length against the length of the insoles.
- Keep in mind whether you’d like a roomier or tighter fit. For instance, a 9.5” foot may fit into a US WOM 6 technically, but a US WOM 7 with more wiggle room may be more comfortable.
- The foot is three-dimensional, so any two-dimensional measuring tool can only approximate your true shoe size.
