how to measure

finding your shoe size takes just 3 steps.

  1. Stand with one bare foot on a piece of paper.
  2. Mark the paper at the back of your heel bone & at the end of your longest toe.
  3. Measure the distance between these two points in a straight line, & repeat the same steps for the other foot.

If one foot is longer, use the larger measurement to find your shoe size by referencing the size chart above. If your measurement is in between sizes & the shoes don’t come in half sizes, please round up to the next size.

Remember, this chart can only approximate your true shoe size. Finding a shoe that fits also depends on brand, style and individual. To find the best fit, we recommend visiting a Target store to try on different shoe sizes & styles.

    This sneaker is so comfortable. Last seaon, I bought the cream and the gold. This season I bought the silver. I love the platform sole. They fit true to size and are comfortable right out of the box. The memory foam is an added bonus. I just started walking to work and now wear these with dresses.

    I love love love these. I wear them all the time and get compliments almost every time. I should mention that I had major foot surgery and these do not irritate the surgery part of my foot. I'm usually and 8.5-9, I got the 81/2 and they're perfect. Going to buy another color. LOVE

    Mediocre Quality, Cute Style

    Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
    Alaina - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
    Need to be a little wider to accommodate foot-shaped feet (i.e., real feet!) because they pinch a little bit at the wide spot of my feet. They are really comfy otherwise—I’ve worn mine to Disney & wear them to work every day where I’m constantly walking. They don’t last super long and tend to fall apart after 6 months to a year of constant wear. The fabric lining inside the shoe tends to be poor quality and fall apart and additionally the rubber toe tends to come apart from the fabric shoe after a while. Lastly, they conduct static electricity very well, so be careful in a setting with metal (gas station, work filing cabinets, printers, etc.) as you will get shocked frequently. Otherwise, I love them and they’re super cute.

    These shoes are very stylish and for the most part comfortable. I have gotten many compliments on them! One thing I do have to say is that at the tongue of the shoe it does sometimes hurt the top of my foot... I just untie and adjust it and then it's fine again. I would buy again in another color!

    I love the look of these shoes. I’ve had many compliments on these. I usually wear high end trainers so I’m use to comfort. Standing in them all day I thought the soles needed replacing since I’m use to more cushion. Easy fix. I replace the inserts for a more comfortable wear. These look great to scale up your sporty outfits.

    I don't usually write reviews, but I've had these since September and walked them into the ground. They're easily the most comfortable shoes I own. They do run the slightest bit big, but I think that's what adds to the comfort. I do wish they brought back the blue and black colors

    These are the most comfortable shoes I own. I am a teacher on my feet all day and they are sooooo comfortable all day and cute too. They are not heavy. If you can sometimes wear 2 sizes, size down. I’ve worn them all year and now I’m buying another pair for next year!

    These tennis shoes are true to size. They fit comfortably and easy to glide your feet into. I Love these tennis shoes! Not your typical tennis shoes, these shoes can dress up or down. I wish they had more color options as I’d be ordering another pair. I like the “tweed” look and the speckles on the rubber side of the shoes. These are lace up shoes. Adorable, I can’t say enough about the quality and durability of these shoes. I’ve taken a few pictures to show them off. Outstanding value.
