Choosing the right size
On ZANGODANCE, you select your size in EU. The tables below help you find the manufacturer's UK size equivalent. Always use the table for the brand you have chosen: size conversions and fit may vary from one manufacturer to another.
Measure your foot · Werner Kern · Diamant · PortDance
1. Measure both feet
- Place a sheet of paper on the floor against a wall.
- Stand barefoot with your heel against the wall, putting your weight on the foot you are measuring.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe with a pencil.
- Measure the distance in centimetres between the edge of the sheet against the wall and your mark.
- Repeat with the other foot and use the larger measurement.
Then compare the brand's size conversions and check the size recommendation on the product page. Foot length alone does not indicate foot width or shoe volume.
2. Werner Kern: women's and men's size conversions
Use the brand's size conversions and check the size recommendation on the product page. With Werner Kern, the last used can affect the fit. A UK half size does not necessarily correspond to an EU half size.

The centimetre measurements in the men's table are taken from the official Werner Kern guide. They should not automatically be applied to women's models.
Available sizes vary by model. Some models run smaller or larger: check the size recommendation on the product page before ordering.
3. Diamant: foot length and size conversions
On ZANGODANCE, select your European size (EU). First find your foot length in centimetres, then the corresponding EU size and the UK column for the women's or men's model.

The women's and men's Diamant charts show two differences in centimeters: EU 38 corresponds to 24.3 cm for women and 24.2 cm for men; EU 44 corresponds to 28.2 cm for women and 28.3 cm for men. These measurements are therefore presented on separate lines.
A dash means that no correspondence is provided for this measurement in the women's or men's chart provided by Diamant. For a unisex model or in case of doubt, consult the size advice on its product page or contact us.
The sizes actually offered depend on each model: this chart does not indicate availability. Also check the fit and width indications on the model's product page.
4. PortDance: foot measurement and correspondences
The PortDance chart below shows the manufacturer's measurements in centimeters and EU / UK correspondences. The UK equivalents for men and women are distinguished when they differ. On ZANGODANCE, select the EU size.

The dash indicates that no UK women's correspondence is given in the chart provided. Intermediate sizes are not detailed in this chart: if your measurement is between two lines, or if you are looking for a half size, contact us with the model and the length of your two feet.
5. Before ordering
- Check the selected model, color, and EU size.
- Read the size advice specific to the model; a conversion chart is not a guarantee of fit.
- The charts show correspondences, not available stock. Check the product page for the sizes offered and delivery times.
- If you are unsure, contact us before ordering with the model, your usual size, and the measurements of your two feet.
Try your shoes indoors, on a clean, dry, non-abrasive floor, to preserve the soles. First size exchange free: we cover the return of your pair and the shipping of the new size via standard delivery. The exchange must be requested within 14 days of receipt, subject to availability. Contact us before any return to receive the return instructions. See our return and refund policy for the terms.
