Finding your perfect pair of sneakers is a little like finding the right rhythm in your day. Effortless once it clicks, but transformative when it does. A pair that fits just right doesn’t just support your steps; it carries your confidence. It’s the difference between sneakers you wear once in a while and sneakers that become your go-to for years.

Superga has long been known for crafting shoes that feel as good as they look: timeless, comfortable, and unmistakably Italian. But even the most beautiful shoe only shines when it fits perfectly. So, how do you find your perfect Superga size?

Let’s walk through it together - from understanding measurements to exploring how materials and styles affect fit.

 

Why Finding The Perfect Fit Matters

The best shoes are the ones that disappear the moment you put them on. Not literally, but in the way they move with you, not against you.

Superga sneakers are built for real life: long walks, city adventures, weekends on your feet, or quick coffee runs. Each pair is made with vulcanized rubber soles and soft, breathable uppers that mold to your movement. A correct fit prevents blisters, foot strain, and uneven wear, while ensuring your sneakers stay comfortable and last longer.

Whether it’s a sleek 2750 or a pair of bold platform sneakers, a proper fit ensures they feel like an extension of you. Because when it comes to sneakers, comfort isn’t just a luxury, but a foundation.

Step One: Know Your Size

Before you fall in love with a pair, start with the basics - your size. Superga uses European sizing, so your first stop should be the shoe size chart. It’s a simple yet essential tool that helps you match your measurements to the right fit.

If you’ve worn Superga before, you’ll be glad to know that their sizing stays consistent across most collections. However, slight differences can occur between styles, especially when comparing unisex and women’s-only designs. Always check the size guide for the specific model you’re buying.

But if you’re new to the brand (welcome!), taking fresh measurements can make all the difference between a good fit and a perfect one.

Superga Size Conversion Table

To make sizing easier, here’s a quick shoe size conversion guide for Superga sneakers:

Step Two: Measure Like a Pro

A well-fitting shoe starts with knowing your true size and you can measure it right at home. Here’s how to measure shoe size in the simplest way possible:

1. Place a blank sheet of paper on the floor against a wall.

2. Stand with your heel touching the wall and your full weight evenly on both feet.

3. Mark the tip of your longest toe on the paper.

4. Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimeters.

5. Repeat for the other foot (since most people have one foot slightly larger).

Now compare that measurement with the foot size chart on the website. Always go by the larger foot, because comfort comes first.

If you wear insoles or socks with extra cushioning, measure your foot while wearing them. This gives you a more accurate idea of the fit you’ll need.

 

Step Three: Navigating Sizing Systems

One of the biggest confusions in footwear comes from regional differences. A US 8 isn’t always an EU 39, and that’s where shoe size conversion becomes your friend.

Superga’s sizing runs true to European standards, but depending on the style. European sizes generally follow a 0.66 cm length increase per size, while UK and US sizing differ by about 0.85 cm. Knowing this helps when comparing across brands.

No matter if you’re buying a lightweight canvas or a structured leather design, the feel can vary just slightly. If you’re in between sizes, a quick size comparison will help you choose with confidence.

Step Four: Know Your Foot Type

Your foot type says more about your ideal fit than you might think.

• Wide feet: Choose breathable canvas styles like the 2750 Cotu Classic. They stretch naturally over time, adapting beautifully to your shape.

• Narrow feet: Go for leather or suede styles that hold their form and provide a snug, glove-like fit.

• Flat or high arches: Consider a supportive insole or a cushioned sole option for maximum comfort.

• High instep: Try styles with slightly deeper uppers for ease and flexibility.

Identifying your type of foot also helps you avoid sizing up or down unnecessarily. A wide-footed person, for example, may not need a larger size but just a more flexible material.

Step Five: Style and Fit Go Hand in Hand

Each Superga silhouette tells its own story. The shoes in size you choose might fit slightly differently depending on the material or design, so here’s what to expect:

• The 2750 Cotu Classic: The original Superga icon. It fits true to size and offers a relaxed, breathable feel - the ultimate everyday sneaker.

• Platform sneakers: These add a little height without sacrificing comfort. Because of the thicker sole, some people prefer going half a size down for a more secure fit.

• High-tops and mid-tops: Offer extra ankle support and start off a bit snug, but soften beautifully with wear.

The secret to finding your perfect pair? Think about when and how you’ll wear them, then choose the fit that feels right for your routine.

 

Step Six: Sizing for Kids

When it comes to little feet, precision matters even more. The kids shoe size chart helps you stay one step ahead of growth spurts. Children’s feet change fast, sometimes every few months, so measure often and leave a little room to grow, roughly a thumb’s width of space at the toe.

Superga’s kids’ sneakers carry the same signature quality as the adults’ line - durable canvas, easy fastenings, and flexible soles that move with active feet.

Pro tip: Measure their feet in the evening, when they’re slightly larger from a day of running around.

Step Seven: Men’s and Women’s Sizing

Superga sneakers are largely unisex, but fit preferences can differ. The average shoe size in men tends to fall around EU 42–43 (US 9–10), while for women, it’s closer to EU 38–39 (US 7–8).

Men’s versions are often slightly roomier, offering more width in the sole, while women’s styles may have a more tapered silhouette. If you’re switching between men’s and women’s sizing (for example, a women’s 39 to a men’s 39), expect about a half-size difference in fit and width.

Always double-check the product-specific sizing notes before you order, especially if you’re exploring new materials or collaborations.

Step Eight: Materials Matter

Not all sneakers feel the same on your feet and that’s the beauty of it.

• Canvas: Lightweight, breathable, and built for movement. It softens with wear and pairs with everything. Perfect for everyday wear. If you live in warmer climates or travel often, canvas styles are your best bet for year-round comfort.

• Leather/Nappa Leather: Smooth, refined, and structured. It molds to your shape over time while maintaining its polished look. These are great for cooler seasons or dressier outfits.

• Rubber or Specialty Materials: Designed for durability and weather resistance. Great for outdoor adventures or unpredictable weather. Superga’s rubber-soled styles even offer added traction on wet pavements.

Each material tells a different story and creates a slightly different fit, which is why it’s always worth checking the details before you decide.

Step Nine: When You’re Between Sizes

If your measurement sits between two sizes, you’re not alone. Many people fall right in the middle. The general rule of thumb?

• If you like a relaxed fit (or wear thicker socks), size up.

• If you prefer a snug, glove-like feel - especially in canvas styles - size down.

A quick walk test can tell you everything you need to know. Your heel shouldn’t lift when you walk, and your toes should have a little breathing room.

 

Step Ten: Your Perfect Superga Fit

Once you’ve gone through the charts, compared sizes, and considered your style, you’ll start to realize something: finding your perfect fit is all about feeling.

The best Superga fit is one that disappears into your day. It lets you move, explore, and live freely.

Because in the end, choosing the right Superga sneakers means finding the pair that fits not just your feet, but your lifestyle.

So whether you’re stepping into your first pair or adding to your collection, let your next pair of Supergas remind you how effortless great style can feel - one perfectly sized step at a time.
