    Size guide

    When choosing footwear, please pay close attention to both size and fit (model). Well-fitting shoes are not only more comfortable, but also more durable. If the size is too small (e.g. your toes are cramped in the toe box), the shoes may wear out faster.

    HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FOOT CORRECTLY

    👉 Grab a sheet of paper (A4), a pencil, and a ruler.

    1. Place the paper against a wall on a flat floor and stand on it with your full weight, barefoot.
    2. Trace around your foot.
    3. Measure the distance from the heel to the tip of the longest toe, and use right angles to measure the width.
    4. Compare your measurements to the size chart below ⬇️. Add a toe allowance of 0.5–1.2 cm ( 0.2 – 0.5 inches) to find your ideal shoe size.

    Tip: Measure both feet. When choosing your size, always go with the larger foot — for most people, the left is slightly bigger.

    🕓 Measure your feet at the end of the day — they naturally swell and are slightly larger.
    📌 Factors like your instep height, foot volume, or personal preference can also affect the best size for you.

    SHOE WIDTH

    Standard or Wide?

    Bohempia barefoot shoes come in two width options:

    STANDARD – for narrow to regular feet, or for those new to barefoot footwear.

    WIDE (marked with a “W”, e.g. 38W) – for wider feet or more experienced barefoot enthuiasts.

    TOE ALLOWANCE

    Why add extra space?

    Barefoot shoes are designed to let your toes move freely and naturally.
We recommend adding 0.5–1.2 cm (0.2–0.5 inches) to your foot length when choosing your size — this extra space is called the toe allowance. Be careful not to add too much — the shoes should still fit securely and not slip off while walking.

    Example: If your foot measures 25 cm, choose a shoe with an internal length of approximately 25.7–26.2 cm.

    EACH MODEL FITS DIFFERENT FOOT TYPES

    How to choose the best one for you?

    HIGH OR LOW INSTEP?

    👉 Go for models with longer lacing: FELIX, HERLIK, ORIK, HOSKA

    SHOES FEEL TIGHT AROUND THE ANKLES?

    👉 Try styles with a soft ankle collar: FELIX, VELIK, VIKLA

    BAREFOOT SHOES LOOK TOO WIDE FOR YOU?

    👉 Try the FELIX – its toe design visually narrows the foot
