The Fitting
Fit by Gordon Rush
Know your size. Before the box ships.
You know your size in the shoes you already own, and that they rarely agree. So we start there: the shoes already in your closet, converted onto our last. Sixty seconds, no account, nothing to upload.
What is a shoe you own that fits you well?
The pair you would wear all day without thinking about your feet. Not the pair you wish fit.

How does that pair actually fit?
Most people wear a shoe a little too big and call it comfortable. This is where we correct for that.
- Snug, a touch tight
- I notice it by the end of the day
- Right, I forget about it
- A thumbnail of room at the toe
- Roomy, a little loose
- My heel lifts slightly, or I lace it tight
- Too big, I get by
- Honestly, I bought the wrong size
How wide is your foot?
More people are in shoes that are too narrow than too long. A size chart cannot see this, so we ask.
- Narrow: Shoes often feel loose across the ball of my foot
- Standard: Most shoes fit across the foot without much thought
- Wide: The sides press. I have broken shoes in the hard way.
- Very wide: I look for wide fittings, or size up to get room
Returns and size exchanges are complimentary in the United States,
so if the first pair is not right, the second one will be.
Size Guide
Our shoes fit about a half size larger than most sneakers. If you wear a 10 in athletic shoes, start with a 9.5. Between sizes, take the half size down for lace-ups and chukkas, the half size up for loafers.

Width
All styles are made on a medium (D) width last. The Austin and the loafers are cut slightly fuller through the forefoot; the Adams cap-toe is the trimmest fit in the range.
