How do Converse shoes fit?

Converse shoes run large — size down about half. Here's what to know before you buy.

Converse Chuck Taylors run big — about half a size larger than your true size — so most people size down half. They're unisex, listed in US men's sizing, so women typically go 1.5–2 sizes below their women's number.

Fit varies by model and foot. Measure your foot length in cm and match it to Converse's size chart, then adjust using the fit note above.

Quick tip

Switching to Converse from another brand? Don't assume the same number fits — check your foot length against their chart. See how to measure your foot.
