fit considerationsA good fit involves the length and width of the shoe. Getting this right will help ensure the comfort and performance of your footwear. A good fit allows you to easily wriggle your toes inside the footwear. Feet should feel firmly held inside the footwear and not slide back and forth easily.

lengthA good guide is with your shoes unlaced and toes pushed to the front; you should be able to get a finger to a finger and a half down the back of your heel.

widthThis is largely based on the individual and different widths will depend on the brand. It’s important to ensure the width suits your foot shape.

A Kathmandu team member can help you measure your foot size correctly, to ensure you get the best fit.

*THE MONDOPOINT SYSTEM: This is the same as measuring the foot (not the shoe) in millimetres (mm).To measure your foot using this system: Place your heel against a wall and measure from the back of the heel to the end of the longest toe.
