Sizing & Fit
The right fit is essential to experience the comfort and structure of a well-crafted shoe. We recommend measuring your foot length and using it as a reference when selecting your size.

Measurement Reference
How the foot is measured
How to find your size
Measure your foot at home
Place foot on paper
Stand barefoot on a flat sheet of paper. Keep your weight evenly distributed — the foot spreads slightly under load, which gives a more accurate measurement.
Mark both ends
With a pencil, mark the furthest point of your longest toe and the rearmost point of your heel. Keep the pencil vertical against the foot for accuracy.
Measure in centimeters
Measure the straight distance between the two marks. Use a ruler, not a tape measure, to avoid any curve in the measurement.
Find your size
Match your measurement to the Foot Length column in the chart above. The corresponding US size is your Lignarolo size.
Between two sizes? Always choose the larger size. Our loafers are built on a fitted last — a half-size too large will break in comfortably, while a half-size too small will not.
'D' fitting
Size D is the standard width for men, so if your foot is wide, you may need to go up a size. It fits most men. In the UK it is known as size F; In other parts of the world, it is known as M (medium) or R (regular).
Fit considerations
Wider feet or higher instep
If your foot tends to feel tight in standard shoes, consider selecting a slightly larger size. For designs without half sizes, moving up one full size may provide a more comfortable fit. Structured styles may feel firmer across the instep.
Narrow or slim feet
For a closer fit, you may opt for a smaller size. If your preferred size is not available in halves, choosing one size down can help achieve a better hold. You can also enhance fit with an insole or heel support.
