Werner Kern dance shoes are usually slightly larger than regular street shoes. The shoe should fit firmly, as the nappa or suede leather will yield when dancing. Basically, we recommend, for example, for size 42 to choose the shoe in size 7½ or for 43 the size 8½.
When buying, please also pay attention to the last of each article.
Each article is made on its own last. You can find the last of the article under additional information at the very bottom. All articles within a last are more or less the same. Since the size chart only shows the conversion from UK to EU and US sizes, we have added an additional chart that shows the variation from the size chart.

| CANYON | - ½ |
| BISCAYNE | - 1 |

If you choose for example the article Arezzo and you normally have size 42, then you will see under the additional information that it is the last CANYON. Therefore, select ½ size smaller (marked with - ½) i.e. 7½.
Another example: You would like to purchase the article Treviso in blue. A brilliant shoe! And you normally have size 43. According to the size chart, that would be a size 8½. The shoe is constructed on the Glacier last. Therefore, according to the performance chart, you should choose a size 7 (8½ - 1½). You think that is too small, no, because the last Glacier has a very large fit. We will be happy to advise you personally. It's always better to try on different models and sizes.
