A practical in-person fit check

For a fitting appointment, bring the player’s normal match socks and any equipment they already use in their shoes. Compare both feet and note current pressure points or heel movement.

A size label, age, shopping category or playing position cannot establish an exact physical fit. Record the native size system and use a verified chart for the exact brand/model.

What to do next

• Describe the current pair’s fit rather than guessing a new size.
• Try movements appropriate to the shop and check the seller’s returns policy.
