Size & Fit
The fit of a shoe is of utmost importance to ensure the foot is well supported and isn't slipping within the shoe while walking.
Kumfs specially designed lasts (the moulds around which shoes are formed) offer superior fit and comfort. Using natural materials, such as leather that mould to your feet and designing with adjustable straps, elastic gores or lacing systems also adds to a shoe that provides a personalised fit.
Selected styles also come with two sets of inlays for an even more individual fit. You can wear one, both, or neither - whatever feels right for you.
As a company founded by podiatrists, KUMFS really know feet, which is why such emphasis is placed on fit. Most Kumfs styles come in sizes 4 - 12 including half sizes (in Euro sizing that's 35-44).
Kumfs range of women's shoes come in a variety of width fittings from Medium to Extra extra wide fitting shoes.
However not all styles and colours come in every width fitting - ask your sales consultant for advice.
A guide to choosing the best fitting shoes for you:
- The best time to try on shoes is in the afternoon, as your feet may swell during the day.
- Allow 5 - 10mm between the end of your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- There are tools to measure your foot size. However keep in mind that each shoe style and pattern fits differently - so in different styles you may wear different shoe sizes. Judge each shoe by how it fits you.
- Try shoes on both feet; many people have one foot larger than the other, and it's best to fit the larger one.
- Walk in the shoes to make sure they fit without putting pressure on the front of the foot.
- There should be room in the toe area to wiggle your toes.
- Feet spread with age, so over time your shoe size might increase - again go by how the particular shoes fit and feel rather than what you expect your size to be.
