Should you size up or down in flip flops?
When buying Flips flip-flops, we recommend buying a half inch size bigger than your heel-to-toe measurements for a more relaxed fit. For a more snug fit, choose the exact measurement. So for a 9.5” heel-to-toe measurement, choose Size 6 for a more snug fit and Size 7 fit.
What is the correct fit for flip flops?
Check for 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of room around your foot when you try them on. When standing in them you should be able to see about a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) of the footbed all around your foot. If you try them on and your toes or heels hang over the edges, go up a size.
Is it better to have flip flops too big or too small?
When in doubt, you’re better off going up the size, as having your feet hang off of a small footbed is worse than having a little extra space. With that said, for any Vionic sandals only available in whole sizes, our recommendation is to size down to the nearest whole size if you typically wear a half size.
How is flip flop size determined?
You can also measure your foot to figure out your slippah size and compare how it matches to your US shoe size. Simply measure the distance from the back of the heel to the furtherst toe tip, then add 3/4 of an inch to figure out your slippah size.
