Why Gender-Neutral Fit Matters
Gendered sizing can feel restrictive, especially when modern footwear is designed for all identities. ARTICLE NO. eliminates that barrier by offering unisex silhouettes rooted in fit, not gender labels.
What this means for you:
-
A more accurate fit based on actual measurements
-
Equal focus on comfort and design, no matter your size
-
Footwear that flexes with your lifestyle—not a binary standard
Understanding ARTICLE NO.'s Sizing System
ARTICLE NO. sneakers use EU sizing as a universal base. You can use the brand’s size chart to convert from US Men's and Women's sizes easily.
Pro tip: If you're between sizes, size down for a snug fit, or up for roomier comfort—especially for styles with thick soles or orthopedic footbeds.
How to Measure Your Feet Accurately
To get the best fit at home:
-
Place a blank sheet of paper on a flat surface.
-
Stand on the paper with your heel against a wall.
-
Trace the outline of your foot and measure the longest length.
-
Repeat for the other foot (they can differ!).
-
Compare the larger measurement to the ARTICLE NO. size chart.
This is especially helpful when shopping online for sustainable sneakers made from premium or natural materials, which may fit differently than synthetic mass-market styles.
What to Expect From Sustainable Sneaker Fits
Because sustainable sneakers often use organic cotton, recycled materials, and vegan leather alternatives, you may notice:
-
A softer break-in period
-
A slightly firmer structure due to low-impact production
-
Longer wear life when properly cared for
If comfort is a top priority, opt for low-tops or styles with padded collars and flexible uppers—like the Burger Low-Top.
Comfort Tips for Orthopedic-Style Soles
ARTICLE NO. incorporates orthopedic-inspired soles in many of its everyday styles—especially useful if you're walking, skating, or commuting daily.
Key features to look for:
-
Anatomically contoured footbeds
-
Arch support built into the midsole
-
Shock-absorbing cushioning for impact reduction
