Sizing Guide & Advice Santoni is known for a very specific fit that differs from standard US or UK sizing. The Fit: Santoni shoes typically run large. Most wearers find that they need to go down a half size or even a full size from their standard athletic or dress shoe size. Specific Advice: * If you usually wear a size 9 UK, a Santoni 8 or 8.5 will likely be your best fit. They feature a slightly elongated "last" (shape), which provides a refined look but leaves extra room in the toe box. Pro Tip: For those with a narrow foot, definitely size down by 1 full size. For those with a wider foot, a half-size reduction is usually sufficient.
