Positano - Black dance sneakers - Werner Kern
Chaussant : Fits true to size
Fits true to size
Olympic shape: choose your usual shoe size (true to size), based on your dress shoe size rather than your sneaker size. It should fit securely without being tight, as the leather will soften with dancing.
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.

| 32⅔ | 1 |
| 33⅓ | 1½ |
| 34 | 2 |
| 34⅔ | 2½ |

The Werner Kern women's table consulted provides EU and UK size conversions, but no measurements in centimetres. No lengths have been estimated using another brand's data.

| 24,2 | 38 | 5 |
| 24,7 | 38⅔ | 5½ |

| 31 | 48 | 12½ |
| 31,4 | 48⅔ | 13 |
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.

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.

For which styles and skill level
