Saint Laurent

It depends on the model. Saint Laurent 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 Saint Laurent 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 Saint Laurent 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 Saint Laurent 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.

Saint Laurent is a French luxury fashion house founded by Yves Saint Laurent in 1961 and led from Paris. The footwear collection covers heritage pumps, the Tribute and Opyum heels, Wyatt biker boots, and the Court Classic and SL/61 sneakers, all produced in Italy with a sleek house code.

Saint Laurent shoes generally run small - most styles fit half a size smaller than other Italian luxury brands. The Tribute and Opyum pumps have a tight heel cup; Wyatt and Niki boots run snug across the instep. Court Classic and SL/61 sneakers fit true to size for narrow feet, small for wide feet.

Order half a size up from your normal EU size for Saint Laurent pumps and ankle boots, especially the Tribute, Opyum and Wyatt. The Niki and Jane heeled boots also feel best half a size up. Court Classic sneakers fit true to size for narrow feet; size up half if you find Common Projects tight.
