How Should Shoes Fit - Men's Clothing Fit Guide

About this video

Weston teaches men how to properly fit sneakers using two practical methods: the index finger heel test to ensure appropriate heel room, and checking for side pressure that indicates the shoe is too narrow. Weston emphasizes that fit varies significantly between brands and recommends trying different brands if sizing issues persist.

Key takeaways

• Weston recommends fitting an index finger comfortably between your heel and the shoe’s heel when wearing your normal socks - tight fit is acceptable but excessive looseness indicates the shoe is too big
• Weston advises that any squeezing or pressure on the sides of your feet means you should try the next size up, and if that doesn’t help, try a different brand altogether
• Weston argues that sneaker fit varies considerably across brands, so an 11 in one brand may not fit the same as an 11 in another brand
