Aside from the style and color, you’ll need to take into account your correct size and width, quality, comfort and the technical features of the shoe when shopping for sneakers.

Setting your budget will help you narrow down the huge variety of sneaker styles available.

Find sneakers that match the activity you plan on wearing them for. Everyday sneakers will be designed with a different sole and features to one that has been produced with running, basketball or tennis in mind. Running shoes typically have EVA outsoles for a lightweight feel, while fashion sneakers often come with rubber soles that are quite heavy and make it harder to build up speed as you exercise.

Finding your correct size is important. We wouldn’t recommend buying sneakers that are too tight and expecting them to stretch with wear. To work out your size, you can use an app to measure your foot size, or measure it manually. Simply mark the length of your foot from heel and toe on a piece of paper and then measure the length in CM. Use this measurement to find your corresponding men’s EU, UK or US sizing in the chart below.
