EVERY FOOT IS UNIQUE
The human foot is made to move freely: to walk, run, and feel the ground.
But sometimes it needs protection.
We know that choosing the right size isn't always easy. That's why we've created this comprehensive size guide to help you find the best fit.
To choose the most suitable size
Before you start: measure your feet preferably at the end of the day, when they are usually slightly more swollen after walking.
- Place a sheet of paper on the floor, against a wall.
- Put your foot on the sheet and rest your heel against the wall.
- Place a book or magazine upright in front of your foot, gently touching the tip of your longest toe.
- Mark the spot on the sheet of paper where the book is located and measure the distance from the wall to the mark. This will be the length of your foot.
- Repeat the process with the other foot and use the measurement of the longer foot as a reference.

2. Compare with a shoe that already fits you well
If you have comfortable shoes, preferably barefoot shoes, remove the insole, measure it, and compare its length and width to the measurements in our guide. This is usually one of the most reliable methods for choosing the right size.
Take note of the insole's shape:
- Flat insole: If it's flat, like Dolfie insoles, you can use the full measurement.
- Concave insole: If it has a small raised edge around the heel, subtract approximately 0.4-0.5 cm from the total length before comparing.
3. Choose your preferred setting
As a general guideline, we recommend leaving between 0.5 and 1 cm of space between the length of your foot and the length of the insole. The ideal margin may vary depending on the shape and volume of your foot, as well as your preferred fit.
4. Always consult the specific guide for each model
Sizing may vary between our models because we use different lasts and soles. Before choosing, always check the size guide for the model you wish to purchase.
If you are starting to use barefoot footwear:
If you're not used to walking barefoot or wearing barefoot shoes, start with the 6mm insole. It will provide more cushioning and help you adapt gradually.
Consider the material of the footwear:
If you choose a leather model, please remember that we use high-quality natural leather. With use, it may stretch slightly and gradually adapt to the shape of your foot. However, the shoe should offer a comfortable fit from the very first time.
