Gucci is known, in particular, for their loafers, which have been an important part of the brand since the 1950s and have now expanded into a whole collection, including the Jordaan loafers and the Princetown loafers.
If you are thinking about buying a pair of Gucci shoes, then you need them to have the proper fit. That’s where we come in to help! This article answers the question of how Gucci shoes fit to make sure you get your favorite Gucci shoes that fit just perfectly. Plus, we are going to take a closer look at some of the best-selling Gucci shoes that we think you need in your life! Let’s get started!
How Do Gucci Shoes fit?
To give you a quick answer, Gucci shoes usually run true to size or a little large, depending on the shoe. However, one notable exception to this rule is the Ace sneaker. The Ace sneakers are known to be an oddity in Gucci’s usual sizing, and it’s recommended that you go a full size down.
So, if you are typically a 38.5 in EU size, and you’re looking to purchase the Ace sneakers, size 37.5 will be a good fit for you.
Otherwise, go for your usual size when shopping for sneakers, sandals, or boots. As Gucci offers half sizing, you’ll be able to find your perfect fit quite well! However, if the particular style that you are interested in purchasing is out of stock in your usual size, we would recommend opting for a smaller size, as some Gucci shoes tend to run large.
Below, we’ll analyze Gucci’s sizing in more detail to give you a full picture of the fit of the shoes. Hopefully, all of these tips and tricks will help you easily buy the right size when you are shopping online.
1. Gucci sizing
The first thing that Gucci has done to make sure you get the perfect fit, is that they’ve made all of their shoes available in full and half sizes, as we’ve mentioned above. This means you have more options to choose from so you can find the right size for your feet.
The Gucci shoe sizing is shown in both European sizes and US sizes, which means it is super easy to find your usual size without having to convert between the European sizes and the American sizes – so much simpler!
There is also a size guide on the Gucci website, which makes it easy to work out your shoe size no matter where you are in the world. Also, if you are double-checking your shoe size by measuring your feet the Gucci size guide also lists the cm and mm measurements that are ideal for the shoe, so that it’s simple to find your true size.
Overall, Gucci’s sizing is pretty straightforward, and the sizes are pretty similar to other high-end designer brands, so finding your size shouldn’t be a huge problem. Also, the Gucci website and most department stores that sell Gucci shoes have a good returns policy if you try your new shoes on at home and find that they aren’t the perfect fit.
2. The style of the shoe
As we mentioned earlier, while most Gucci shoes fit true to size, sometimes, the fit can depend on the style of shoe you are going for and if you have narrow or wider feet. For most Gucci sneakers, you should stay your usual size – there is no need to change the size if you are buying a Gucci Tennis 1977 sneaker or the Gucci Rhyton sneakers.
However, if you are buying the Gucci Ace sneaker, we recommend sizing down by either half a size or one full size depending on the width of your feet. As the Gucci Ace sneakers have a narrow fit, if you have wide feet, it may be better to size down by just a 1/2 size to ensure a comfortable fit. Otherwise, opt to size down by one full size.
Similarly, if you have wide feet, it is safest to size up by half a size for any shoes with a pointed toe, so your toes are not squished at the end of the shoes. Shoes with a round or square toe are often a little more forgiving, and therefore you can buy your normal size with confidence.
Finally, some shoes are a little more forgiving than others. Generally, flat sandals, Gucci slides, and Gucci mules are easier to find in the right size. These shoes do not have a back to them, so they aren’t going to rub on the heel of your foot.
3. Measuring your feet
A great way to make sure your Gucci shoes fit right is to measure your feet with a tape measure and use the size guide to work out your size. The insole length is the key measurement you need to take.
Take a tape measure and measure the length of your foot from the heel to the tip of your big toe. Or, some may find it easier to draw around your foot on a piece of paper and then measure this drawing to find your foot length.
Then, if you are buying flats, it is recommended that you add 1 cm to your foot length to find your Gucci shoe size and convert from there. For example, if your foot is 24cm in length, you would add 1cm to get to 25cm – then convert the 25cm shoe to a US size 8 or EU size 38.
However, if you are buying high heels, it is best only to add 0.5cm to your foot size, so the shoes feel snug and secure. Therefore, if your foot is 24cm, you would add 0.5 cm to get 24.5cm, which would mean you should buy your shoes in a US 7.5 or an Italian 37.5.
If you are not buying the shoes from the Gucci boutique or website, and the shoe length in cm is not available, it is always worth contacting customer services to find out the exact size of the shoe – most customer services reply pretty quickly with this information so you can confidently buy your own pair of Gucci shoes.
4. materials + Stretch Over Time
It is important to think about how much the shoes will loosen and stretch over time. Different materials will react differently to regular wear, so it is worth considering this when you buy your first Gucci shoes.
Leather is stiff and tough, especially the high-quality leather used by Gucci, so leather shoes will often feel a little tighter, to begin with, and loosen up in about 3-4 weeks of daily use as you break them in.
Considering this, you may want to go for a pair that has a snug fit when you first buy them so that when you break the shoes in, they loosen and are not too big.
With this said, rubber doesn’t stretch over time, so if you are looking to purchase leather sneakers that have rubber on the edge of the shoe, be mindful about how your toes fit inside the shoe, as this part won’t really stretch all that much.
Finally, canvas, velvet, or raffia shoes will not be so stiff and touch when they are first purchased and will not stretch and loosen so much over time. This means for any non-leather shoes is best to go for a pair that feel secure and comfy from the start as the shoes do not loosen so much with years of wear.
5. Breaking in your shoes
It is recommended that you break in any pairs of shoes that you buy before you spend a whole day wearing your brand new shoes.
Gucci loafers, sneakers, and boots that are made from leather will typically take a few weeks of daily use to break in and mold into your feet. To speed up the process, you can wear your new shoes with thicker socks indoors to prevent any blisters, then after a few times of doing this, your new Gucci shoes should be good to wear for the entire day without much discomfort.
Any non-leather shoes, such as rubber slides or canvas espadrilles do not require so much breaking in as the material is not as stiff, to begin with, so wear them with confidence from the get-go.

Conclusion

Plus, it is always worth checking the Gucci size chart and measuring your feet to you are 100% sure you are getting the perfect size for you.
It is also important to consider whether you have wide feet or narrow feet as well as the style of the shoe. Some shoes, such as the Jordaan loafers are a little narrower so you may need to size up, while Gucci slides have a wider fit so you may need to size down by 1/2 size.
