    Why do shoes fit differently from brand to brand?

    Why do shoes fit differently from brand to brand?

    Not only do all shoe brands fit differently, shoes within each brand fit differently! The best way to determine the right fit is to try on the shoes. Shoes are built on different shoe lasts  - the 360° models of the foot used to create each shoe - and shoe lasts can be narrow, slim, wide, deep or shallow. Tops for Shoes staff will ensure we find the right brand and shoe last for you.
