Find your perfect fit in 3 simple steps

Getting the right fit starts with three simple steps.

1. Measure your feet

Measure both feet from your heel to your longest toe while standing.

2. Check your size

Compare your measurement with our men’s shoe size chart to find your Clarks size.

3. Choose your width

Select the width that gives your feet enough room and support for lasting comfort.

How to Measure Men’s Feet for Shoes

Measuring your feet accurately can help you find shoes that feel comfortable from the first wear.

For detailed step-by-step guidance, read ourguide to measuring your feet for shoes.

For the best results:

  • Place your foot on a piece of paper while standing.
  • Mark the back of your heel and the tip of your longest toe.
  • Measure the distance between these two points.
  • Compare your measurement with our men’s shoe size chart.

Remember to measure both feet and use the larger measurement when choosing your size.

Men’s Shoe Width Chart

Finding the right shoe width is just as important as choosing the correct size. Men’s feet come in different shapes, so choosing the right width can help your shoes feel more comfortable across the toe box and widest part of your foot.

Clarks men’s shoes are available in different widths to help you find the right fit.

WidthDescription
GMedium Fit
HWide Fit
XWExtra Wide Fit

What’s a Medium Fit (G Width)?

Medium fit shoes provide a comfortable amount of space for many foot shapes, offering support without feeling too loose.

What’s a Wide Shoe Fit (H Width)?

Wide fit shoes provide additional room across the toe box and ball of the foot, helping create a more comfortable fit for broader feet.

What’s an Extra Wide Shoe Fit (XW Width)?

Extra wide fit shoes provide the most room for customers who need additional space across the foot.

Tips for finding the right shoe fit

Try shoes on later in the day

Feet can swell throughout the day, so trying shoes on later can help you choose a size that feels comfortable from morning to evening.

Wear your usual socks

The socks you wear can affect how your shoes fit. Try shoes with the type of socks you plan to wear regularly.

Check your heel fit

Your heel should feel secure without slipping when you walk. A well-fitting shoe should feel comfortable and supportive.

Give new shoes time to adjust

Some shoes may need a short break-in period as the materials adapt to your feet.

Consider your foot shape

Your foot length, width, and shape can all affect how a shoe feels. Choosing the right size and width can help improve comfort and support.
