These industry standard letters, which indicate shoe fittings, are commonly used by many British footwear brands. The meaning for each letter is as follows...

MEN
'E' - narrow
'F' - considered average
'G' - wide
'H' - extra wide

WOMEN
‘D' - standard
'E' wide
'F' extra wide.

On every individual product page we confirm the fitting in the Information section. Also further down this page we include sizing notes for each of the LANX shoe lasts, and how they compare to these industry standard letters which indicate shoe fittings.

At LANX we use many shoe lasts which have different fittings. For people with wider feet we would suggest the below...

Women's F fitting (extra wide) - click here

Women's E fitting (wide) - click here

Men's G fitting (wide) - click here

Alternatively please purchase a full size up or half size up in the style you like and try these sizes out for fitting. In case the fit isn’t quite correct just send your shoes back and we will post you an exchange pair or process a refund. Worth noting that we offer free UK shipping and exchanges.

We use excellent leather in all our footwear and more often than not our shoes will need to be broken in. Shoes that may feel snug at first will soften over time and you will get a better fit to the shape of your foot. If your new LANX shoes are only nipping a bit then it is likely you have a well fitted shoe and you should persevere breaking them in.

Your friendly and often very helpful local cobblers shop should also be able to stretch your shoes, to allow for a little extra room. This will help make them fit better. To find your local cobblers please visit the Society of Master Shoe Repairers website: www.somsr.com/home

When you do contact them please make them aware of the style of LANX shoes you have and the leather the shoe is made from, details of which can be found on the specific product page.

On each product page (and further down this page) we list the shoe last each individual shoe is built on, plus the sizing guide for that particular shoe. All LANX shoes are built on a shoe last which gives shoes a distinctive shape, width and fit. For more information about shoe lasts please scroll down this page.

Our shoes & boots are all made on an industry standard sole profile - this means that the footbed is not completely flat, it is slightly curved to ergonomically fit the profile of a standard foot. So, essentially there is a small amount of arch support, but if more support is needed then perhaps an orthotic insole would be needed. Our insoles technically can be removed from the shoes, however it is not advised. The insoles are glued onto the hard under layer, so removing them will leave this exposed for you to put your orthotics on top of, so comfort may well be compromised. It is also worth mentioning that once they have been removed they are not in a resalable condition and therefore cannot be returned. We have found that with some of our customers that wear orthotic insoles, because our shoes have a little bit of extra room sometimes orthotics can be placed on top of our existing insoles.

With regards to our leather brogues and boots - their insoles technically can be removed from the shoes, however it is not advised. The insoles are glued onto the hard under layer, so removing them will leave this exposed for you to put your orthotics on top of, so comfort may well be compromised.

This topic is something that we have discussed at great length. Obviously our Men's and Women's shoes can be worn by anybody - they are timeless styles.

The biggest stumbling block is sizing, as the structure for men's and women's shoe sizes are quite different. For example, a women's size 6UK is different to a size 6UK men's (somewhere between a half and a full size difference.) Both sizes are globally accepted within their own sizing structure (Men's & Women's). But when you start to combine them (unisex sizing), that's where things start to get difficult.

We say this from experience, as we did for a while have combined unisex styles for men and women. We labelled the shoes as accurately as we could, to cater for both size structures, along with an explanation as to how they can expect the shoes to fit against their more familiar Men's or Women's sizing. Unfortunately, the whole thing was a disaster and we had to revert back to the previous sizing structure, because it was much more widely recognized and accurate.

To put it plainly, the only reason why we follow this sizing structure is that we want to give our online customers the best chance of receiving shoes that fit correctly and comfortably the first time around. The best chance we have to do this is to follow the already recognised sizing structures. We are still a young company, so the risk of many returns/exchanges because the sizes are not what people are used to, is a risk too great for us at this stage.

If you are looking at purchasing some shoes from a different sizing structure that you are used to, our advice is that:
• If you are familiar with the Women's size structure but you are looking at buying a shoe in the Men's section, we suggest that you purchase the size down.
• If you are familiar with the Men's size structure but you are looking at buying a shoe in the Women's section, we suggest that you purchase the size up.

Rest assured, we do have a free returns policy if your shoes aren't quite the right size. Please see all info here.
