Choosing work shoes based on one's sneakers can be a strategy for those looking for comfort and dynamism. We are often familiar with our size and fit of sneakers, but may not know that they can also be a reliable reference point for choosing work shoes.
However, it is essential to consider that work shoes, designed to offer protection and support in specific work environments, may have different fits than casual sneakers. In fact, it is easy to run into the wrong choices, especially with online purchases. How many times have you had to resort to returns and exchanges because you had the wrong size? Here are tips on how to find the perfect fit!

First it is important to calculate your foot size, preferably in the evening when your feet are most swollen, so that you can consider a fit that is comfortable until the end of the day.
Next, you need to take into account the type of work use: each role and industry requires different capacities for movement, friction, time spent on your feet and safety
different.
For example, if you work indoors or outdoors, your choice of footwear will change; the terrain and machines used to do your work can be really crucial.
Here are some elements to consider:
Indoor or outdoor work
Breathability
Comfort
Non-slip grip
Water repellency
Another point to keep in mind when looking for the perfect footwear is seasonality, because the materials in which work shoes are made determine the conditions in which the foot will be all day.
An SP1 U-Power shoe for example, designed to protect the toes from impact and the sole from possible punctures, is perfect in summer and for closed, dry environments.
It is therefore a type of footwear that is well suited to the logistics, construction, craftsman or technical sectors within companies.
Work shoes class S3 from U-Power, on the other hand, have a water-repellent upper that protects the foot from water and rain, so they are ideal for those who work in wet environments or who are outdoors.

Using your own experience with sneakers to find the right size of u.lite u-power work shoes is possible, but you should consult well the size guides of the various brands, which often do not match.
As you will see below in the table, sneakers and U-Power work shoes differ in size.
If we take Nike-branded sneakers as an example, we notice that they wear one size larger than U-Power safety shoes. Adidas and New Balance wear even larger than our work shoes.
Surely one method of not making a mistake is to measure the length of the foot, which, for each of us, goes from the longest toe to the heel.
Check out the chart to compare your sneakers with u.lite u-power work shoes.

U-Power work shoes are suitable for any type of work and need.
There are women's, men's or unisex styles. In finding one's size, the criteria of measuring the foot and evaluating the characteristics of the shoe do not find any kind of difference.
Our size guide is therefore suitable for everyone.

Choosing the right size for work shoes, referring to one's sneakers, is a process that requires attention to several crucial details.
One important aspect to consider is theuse of thick socks, common in many work environments, which may require a slightly larger size than the sneakers' usual size to ensure sufficient space and comfort.
It is also essential not to replace the original footbeds of work shoes with others, as this could invalidate the safety certification of the footwear, compromising its integrity and the protection it offers. In addition, the physiological characteristics of the foot play a significant role in choosing the appropriate size.
Factors such as the width of the sole of the foot, high instep, or other anatomical specificities can affect the fit and comfort of the work shoes.
Therefore, it is advisable to carefully consider these personal characteristics when comparing the sizes of work shoes with those of one's sneakers.
Choosing carefully, taking all these factors into account, will ensure not only safety and well-being in the workplace, but also a smoother and more comfortable transition from wearing sneakers to properly chosen professional footwear.

The search for the perfect fit begins with understanding measurements and conversions between different measurement systems used worldwide.
Often, as workers we are faced with the challenge of deciphering these differences, especially when buying footwear online from international brands that adopt different standards than we are used to.
To identify the exact size, it is essential to start with an accurate measurement of the foot.
This process should include the length, width and, if possible, the height of the instep to ensure that the shoe fits well in all its dimensions.
The sole of the foot is a determining factor in choosing one's safety shoes: for example, a wide sole requires a larger shoe size, while a narrower sole of the foot, may require a smaller size.
