Geox

It depends on the model. Geox fit varies between styles, so a single verdict for the whole brand would be misleading, and we only publish a fit verdict where we have measured one. The dependable way to answer it for the pair you are buying is to work from a shoe you already own and know fits: enter it above and we will tell you which Geox size matches it.

Start from a shoe you already own that fits, rather than from your usual number. Enter it above and we will convert through foot length to the matching Geox size, which is the part that carries across brands. The EU to US offset is not the same for every brand, so a rule of thumb learned elsewhere will not hold here.

Not directly, because a size label means whatever the brand decides it means. A Nike 42 and an Adidas 42 are cut for different foot lengths, and so is a Geox 42. Foot length is the common unit, which is why our comparison works from the measurements behind each brands chart rather than from the number printed on the box.

Geox is an Italian footwear company founded in 1995 by Mario Moretti Polegato, who invented the patented breathable sole after puncturing holes in rubber soles during a walk in the Nevada desert. The micro-porous membrane lets vapor escape while blocking water.

Geox shoes run slightly large with a roomy, comfortable fit. First-time buyers often find they need half a size smaller. The Nebula sneaker range is the most oversized. Uomo Symbol dress shoes are closer to true size. Womens styles run about half a size large.

Consider going half a size down for your first Geox purchase. The brands roomy fit is intentional for all-day comfort. If between sizes, go with the smaller size. For narrow feet, definitely size down. Try with the socks you plan to wear regularly.
