How to find your sneaker size at home
By the 11 Cross team · 15 November 2026
Short answer
Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, mark the tip of your longest toe, and measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres. Match that length on our size guide. Between two sizes? Take the larger one.
What you need
- A sheet of paper bigger than your foot.
- A pen or pencil.
- A ruler or measuring tape with centimetres.
- The socks you plan to wear with your sneakers.
Measure in four steps
- Put the paper on a hard floor with one edge touching a wall.
- Stand on it with your heel against the wall and your weight on that foot.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe. It isn't always the big toe.
- Measure from the paper's wall edge to the mark. Do the other foot too, and keep the longer number.
Small things that change the answer
- Measure in the evening. Feet are a little bigger at the end of the day.
- Stand up while you mark. A foot spreads under your weight.
- Most people have one foot slightly longer. Size for that one.
- Thick socks take up room. Measure in the pair you'll actually wear.
Turn the number into a size
Find your foot length on the size guide and read across. It shows UK, EU, US men's and US women's sizes side by side. The Eleven Low is unisex and comes in UK 3 to 10, whole sizes, so order by the UK number.
The chart uses standard conversions, so treat it as a strong starting point. If the pair that arrives isn't right, size exchange is free within 7 days of delivery.
Common questions
I'm between two sizes. Which one?
The larger one. You can tighten laces, but you can't add length. If it still feels off, exchange it free within 7 days.
Are the sizes different for men and women?
No. The Eleven Low is one unisex shoe in UK 3 to 10. The size guide shows the matching US men's and US women's numbers if those are the ones you know.
Can I just use my size from another brand?
It's a fair first guess, but brands vary. Measuring takes two minutes and is more reliable.
