Quick answer
For the Men's Roam Ripstop, order your usual shoe size if you have medium-width feet; consider going up half a size if you have wide feet or plan to wear thick socks.
Why fit matters for the Roam Ripstop
The Roam Ripstop is built for active days, so a secure fit is key. A shoe that's too loose can cause blisters, while one that's too tight may restrict circulation. Because the upper uses ripstop fabric, it has less stretch than knit styles, making initial sizing more critical.
Width considerations
OOFOS shoes typically run medium width. If you usually wear wide shoes, the Roam Ripstop may feel snug. In that case, trying a half size up often gives enough room without compromising the heel hold.
How to find your Roam Ripstop size
- Measure your foot length: Trace your foot on a piece of paper while standing. Measure from heel to longest toe. Compare to OOFOS size chart (available on the product page). Measure at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen.
- Check your width: Wrap a tape measure around the widest part of your foot. If it's over 4 inches for men's sizes 9-12, you likely need wide sizing. The Roam Ripstop runs medium, so consider a half size up. A too-narrow shoe can cause numbness; a thumb's width of space at the toe is ideal.
- Try with intended socks: If you plan to wear thick hiking or compression socks, try the shoe with them on. The ripstop upper doesn't stretch much, so account for sock thickness upfront. Wearing the wrong socks can change the fit by half a size.
- Test the heel hold: Once on, walk around. Your heel should not lift more than 1/8 inch. If it slips, the shoe is too big. If your toes jam the front, it's too small. Heel slip is the #1 sign of a poor fit in low-cut sneakers.
Product facts
- Men's Glide: The Men's Glide uses a 4-way knit construction for breathability and flexibility. Unlike the Roam Ripstop's ripstop fabric, the Glide's knit offers more give, so you may need to size differently between the two models.
