Common Sizing Mistakes

  • Carrying YEEZY 350 V2 sizing over directly. YEEZY 350 V2 runs about half a size larger in number. If you wear YEEZY 350 in 10, take Vans Era in 9.5.
  • Assuming Era fits differently than Old Skool. Vans Era and Vans Old Skool round to the same size in the Feetlot model. Same number in both.

How Feetlot Computes These Numbers

Every Vans Era sizing recommendation on Feetlot is the output of a global offset model fit to over 100,000 owner-reported shoe records. Each shoe gets a single number — its "size offset" — that captures how its sizing drifts relative to a reference shoe (the Nike Air Force 1). The result: sizing advice that holds up no matter how unusual a wardrobe is.
