SIZE GUIDE
- CAPITAN shoes are available in 10 mm increments. As each pair is handcrafted, sizing may vary slightly depending on the last, leather, and design.
- Since every foot shape and fit preference is different, it is difficult to recommend one exact size for everyone.
- Please refer to the size guide below and carefully choose your size before placing an order. If you need help selecting the right size, feel free to send us a DM on Instagram at @hola_capitan.
How to Measure Your Feet
Please follow the steps below to measure your foot length, foot width, and instep circumference.
What you'll need: A sheet of paper, a thin pen or pencil, a ruler, and a measuring tape (or a piece of string).
Tip: When tracing your foot, hold the pen perpendicular to the paper for the most accurate measurement.
- Measure Your Foot Length (Most Important)
- Place your foot flat on a sheet of paper. Measure the distance from the tip of your longest toe to the farthest point of your heel. - Measure Your Foot Width
- Identify the widest part of your foot and mark the outermost points on both sides. Measure the distance between these two points. - Measure Your Instep Circumference
- Wrap a measuring tape (or a piece of string) around the highest part of your instep (the top of your foot).
- If using a string, mark where it overlaps, then lay it flat and measure its length with a ruler.
Choosing Your Size
Select your shoe size based primarily on your foot length.
If there is a significant difference (more than 2 cm) between your foot length and either your foot width or instep circumference, we recommend contacting us via Instagram @hola_capitan before placing your order for personalized sizing advice.
Examples
- Foot Length: 23.0 cm / Foot Width: 23.0 cm / Instep Circumference: 23.8 cm → Recommended Size: 230
- Foot Length: 23.0 cm / Foot Width: 24.8 cm / Instep Circumference: 24.8 cm → Recommended Size: 230
Notice
- If your foot length falls on a size ending in 5 (e.g. 225, 235, 245), we recommend sizing down if you have narrow feet, and sizing up if you have wide feet.
- For the Michoacan and Puebla, we recommend choosing one size up.
