Foot length in cm is used to determine your size. Here are instructions for taking your measurement and finding the right size. Standing, place your bare foot on a sheet of paper and trace the outline (or ask someone to do it for you) with a pencil held vertically. Repeat for the other foot. If the measurements obtained are not identical, keep the larger of the two. Find your size using the table below, by looking at which size corresponds to your foot length measurement.
Regarding the width of your foot, we cannot provide you with a table because this measurement is very delicate to take. To determine if you need a foot width option, rely on your usual shoes. If the width of your usual shoes suits you, do not take a foot width option. If you are often tight in shoes in your size or, conversely, if shoes in your size are generally too wide for your foot, choose the custom option in the size drop-down menu.
The instep is the most prominent place on the top of the foot, just below the ankle. This is also a fairly difficult measurement to take accurately, so it's best to rely on your feelings based on your usual shoes. If you find that your instep is stronger or thinner than average, we recommend you choose the custom option in the size drop-down menu.
Inspired by ballet flats, the New Arc shoe, with its iconic round toe, evokes the world of dancers. Made from rich calfskin leather, which develops a patina and improves with age, your pair of New Arc shoes will evolve with you as the seasons change. Lightweight and versatile, they can be worn barefoot in summer and paired with elegant wool socks in winter. Where other shoes succumb to the whims of the weather, the New Arc moves forward with grace and style.
