Which Joya size should I choose?

Ratgeber Buying guide | Joya shoe size

The right Joya shoe size depends on foot length, foot width, instep height and the specific model. Your usual shoe size is a good starting point, but it does not replace checking the actual fit.

The shoe should provide sufficient toe room, fit securely at the heel and not press on the sides or instep.

Note: Model-specific size recommendations should be taken into account when choosing.

Does this affect you?

  • You are buying Joya for the first time
  • You are between two sizes
  • You are ordering online
  • You have wide feet
  • You wear insoles
  • You want to better assess the fit before buying

Possible causes

  • Foot length
  • Foot width
  • Instep height
  • Different lasts
  • Insoles
  • Individual foot shape

What role does the shoe play?

The right shoe size results from the interaction of length and volume. A longer shoe is not automatically wider, and a wide foot does not necessarily require a larger size.

What matters

  • Foot length
  • Toe room
  • Foot width
  • Instep height
  • Heel fit

In short

Your usual shoe size is a good starting point.

Length and width must fit together.

Insoles can change the internal volume.

A larger shoe is not automatically better for wide feet.

The heel should fit securely.

Trying the shoes on remains the most reliable check.

Buying guide

Start with your usual size. If unsure, try an adjacent size, walk for a few minutes and check toe room, width and heel fit.

Joya shoe size - Frequently asked questions

Which Joya size should I choose?
Start with your usual shoe size and check the fit on the specific model.
Should I buy Joya one size larger?
Not as a general rule. A larger size is only useful if it actually provides a better length and fit.
What should I do if I am between two sizes?
If possible, compare both sizes and pay particular attention to heel fit and toe room.
How important is foot width?
Very important. The right length can still feel too tight if the last does not suit your foot width.
What should I consider if I have wide feet?
Choose a suitable last shape instead of automatically choosing a longer shoe size.
What should I consider if I have narrow feet?
The foot should be held securely, especially at the heel and midfoot.
Can I bring my insoles when trying on the shoes?
Yes. This is recommended because insoles change the fit.
When should I try on shoes?
Trying shoes on later in the day can be useful when your feet have slightly more volume.
How much toe room do I need?
Your toes should be able to move freely and not touch the front when walking.
How can I tell if a shoe is too large?
If the heel slips noticeably or the foot does not have a secure hold in the shoe, the shoe may be too large.
How can I tell if a shoe is too small?
Pressure on the toes, sides or instep, as well as touching the front, indicate that the size is not suitable.
