How should I measure my feet at home to check Adidas sneaker fit?

We recommend measuring both feet in the late afternoon while standing: trace each foot on paper, measure heel-to-longest-toe and the widest part of the forefoot, and use the larger foot as your guide; allow roughly a thumb’s width (about 1-1.5 cm) in front of your longest toe and try the measurements with the socks you’ll wear most.

How can I tell if I need a wider or narrower Adidas last?

If your forefoot measurement sits noticeably above average for your length you’ll likely need a wider fit, while a below-average forefoot usually means you’ll prefer a narrower last; you can also judge by whether the forefoot feels cramped or the heel slips as you walk.

Which Adidas shoe features should I look for if I have a wide or narrow forefoot?

For a wider forefoot we suggest knit or mesh uppers and deeper toe boxes; for a narrow foot look for a firm, structured heel counter and use lock lacing to secure the heel, and consider removable insoles either way to adjust space or support.

What simple in-store or at-home adjustments can improve fit before returning shoes?

We advise trying alternate lacing patterns (straight bar for more forefoot room or runner’s lock for heel security), swapping or removing the factory insole, and for leather styles using a short break-in or cobbler stretch; a brief assessment with a podiatrist can also help if you’re unsure.

How much do Adidas ladies’ sneakers typically cost on Bash?

Why fit matters for Adidas sneakers for ladies

We believe a great pair of sneakers starts with the fit. For many women the difference between a shoe that feels fine and one you reach for every day comes down to width: a narrow forefoot that slips and rubs, or a wide forefoot that feels cramped. Adidas makes lots of ladies' silhouettes - from knit trainers to classic leather styles - and most can work well for different foot shapes when you know what to look for.

A quick, practical check at home

Measure both feet in the late afternoon while standing. Trace each foot on paper, measure length from heel to longest toe, then measure the widest part of the forefoot. Use the larger foot as your guide. If your forefoot measurement sits noticeably above average for your length, you likely need a wider fit; if it falls below average, you may prefer a narrower last.

Room for toes: allow roughly a thumb’s width (about 1-1.5 cm) in front of your longest toe.
Heel security: the shoe should hold your heel without slipping as you walk.
Try with the socks you’ll wear most often - thin gym socks versus thicker casual socks change the feel.

How Adidas features help - and what to choose

Not all Adidas styles are the same: uppers, materials and lacing systems change how much room a shoe gives. Here are the features we check first when choosing Adidas sneakers for wide or narrow feet.

Stretch knit or mesh uppers - excellent for slightly wider forefeet because they give across the top.
Structured heel counters - useful if your foot is narrow and you need the shoe to lock the heel in place.
Removable insoles - let you add a thin orthotic or swap for a slimmer insole to gain extra width or support.
Deeper toe boxes - seek these if you have visible bunions or a high forefoot; they reduce rubbing and pressure.

If you want to browse styles built for comfort, start in our women’s sneakers collection and filter by material or features. Explore our selection here: Women’s sneakers.

Simple in-store and at-home fit adjustments

Before returning a pair, try these low-effort fixes we use in store:

Alternate lacing patterns - a wide forefoot can gain room from a straight bar lacing; a narrow foot benefits from a runner’s lock lacing to stabilise the heel. Johns Hopkins and other clinics recommend using eyelet placement to tune fit for the forefoot and heel.
Swap or remove the insole - a thin orthotic can lift the arch and stop toes hitting the toe box, while removing a factory insole can give a little extra width.
Stretching - for leather styles, a short break-in period or a local cobbler’s stretch can relieve tight spots.

If you live near a podiatrist, a short footwear assessment can be worth it; the Podiatry Association of South Africa offers clear guidance on fit that many of our staff refer to when advising customers.

Estimated price guide for Adidas ladies’ sneakers on Bash ranges from about R1 200 to R2 500 depending on materials and cushioning - these are approximate bands to help plan a purchase.

How we help you pick the right Adidas sneaker on Bash

We make fit easier with clear product notes and helpful filters. When you find an Adidas style you like, check these product details before you buy: listed materials, whether the insole is removable, and any mention of a "wide" or "narrow" fit in the item description. If a product page doesn’t say, our product team often adds fit tips based on customer feedback.

Two common shopper scenarios and what we recommend

Scenario A - You have a wide forefoot and like cushioning: pick knit or mesh uppers, remove the factory insole if needed, and avoid narrow leather models until you try them on. Scenario B - You have a narrow foot and want lockdown: choose a shoe with a firm heel counter, use lock lacing and a slim insole if the fit feels loose.

For everyday walking - prioritise a roomier toe box and flexible sole.
For gym or running - secure heel fit and removable insoles are often more important than a slightly snug forefoot.

If you’d like to see similar options, check our broader women’s collection: Women. For brand-wide browsing, our brands hub helps you compare styles and features: Brands.

Returns, exchanges and buying confidently online

We recommend trying shoes at home on a carpeted surface and wearing them short walks before deciding - that testing approach makes returns easier if the fit isn’t right. Keep your original box and allow for the exchange window; if you need help choosing an alternative size or model, our customer team can walk through the fit details with you.

Quick tip: order the size you measured, not the size you used last year. Feet change with activity, pregnancy and age - measuring today gives the best result.
