Quick answer
For the Women's Canvas Cruiser, order your usual shoe size if you prefer a relaxed fit, or go half a size down if you like a snugger feel. Canvas stretches slightly with wear, so avoid sizing up.
Why sizing can vary
The Canvas Cruiser has a classic court silhouette with a hemp-and-cotton upper. Unlike some stretchy knit styles, this canvas material has minimal give, so the fit depends more on your foot shape and how you like your shoes to feel.
Allbirds shoes generally run true to size, but the Cruiser's low-profile design means some people with wider feet prefer a half size up for extra room across the toes.
Consider your sock choice
The Cruiser is designed for warmer days, so many people wear them with no-show or thin socks. If you plan to wear thicker socks, you may need a half size up. If you go sockless, your usual size or a half size down will work.
How to find your perfect size
- Measure your foot: Trace your foot on a piece of paper and measure from heel to longest toe. Compare to Allbirds' size chart. Do this at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen. Check both feet—one is often larger.
- Decide your preferred fit: If you like a relaxed, roomy feel, choose your usual size. If you prefer a snug, secure fit, go half a size down. Avoid sizing up, as the canvas will stretch slightly with wear. Remember: you can always add an insole if you need a bit more snugness.
- Consider your socks: If you plan to wear no-show or thin socks (common for warmer days), your usual size works. For thicker socks, go half a size up. Test with the socks you'll actually wear.
- Try them on and walk around: When you receive your Cruisers, try them on indoors and walk on a soft surface. Your heel should not slip, and your toes should have a little wiggle room. If they feel too tight, exchange for a half size up. Don't ignore pressure points—they won't disappear with wear.
