Size Guide
For the best fit, measure your foot at home before ordering. It takes 2 minutes.
Place a sheet of paper on the floor against a wall.
Put on the same socks you would wear with these shoes.
Stand on the paper with your heel touching the wall, foot straight.
Ask someone to mark the tip of your longest toe. Repeat both feet — use the longer measurement.
Measure heel to mark in cm. Find your size in the chart below. If between sizes, always go larger.

Barku shoes come in three fits to suit different foot shapes.
Narrow — Luna, Mira, Race, Nitrix. Slimmed over the complete length of the foot with a straight toe line to accommodate the toes in a natural position.
Wide — Raven. Spacious last to accommodate wider feet — approximately 1cm wider in the forefoot area than the narrow fit at UK8.
Kids — Fox. Adapted to the anatomy of children where the ratio between length and width is smaller than adult feet — designed with space to grow.
