A person’s foot size changes over time. This is due to a variety of factors, including age, pregnancy, weight gain, fluid retention, and other factors. That’s why it’s always important to measure your foot before buying new shoes online. You can easily do this at home. It is important to note that there is no universal shoe size standard. Shoe sizes may be different from manufacturer to manufacturer, so it’s pretty convenient to know the length of your foot in centimetres and to check out the trademark’s size chart before buying shoes.

Sometimes, both feet have slightly different lengths. In this case, choose the shoe size according to the larger foot (for example, if your left foot’s size is 38 and your right foot’s size is 37.5, choose the larger size). It is important to mention that there is no universal shoe size standard, so the data in the chart is not completely specific. In order to avoid any inconsistencies, check the product information to find out the shoe size equivalent when shopping at DOLITA.

Sneakers are extremely versatile and perfect for any occasion. No matter their shape, colour or material, sneakers are the ultimate in sports-casual footwear. Representing the perfect combination of comfort and flexibility, they add a modern allure to any outfit, whether laid-back or formal. Wear them with a single-breasted blazer and classic-cut trousers for easygoing elegance, or with a T-shirt and cuffed jeans for an evergreen, spontaneous look.

This must-have of the male wardrobe defines formal, elegant looks. In addition to their distinctive, classic lines, lace-ups are available in a wide choice of styles, making them perfect throughout the day — from mornings in the office to evening events and weekend outings. Iconic lace-up styles include the Oxford and Derby, which are distinguished by their lacing. Oxfords feature closed lacing, creating a slender silhouette that envelops the foot, while Derbys are defined by open lacing for a more unbound look and feel. These classics have been updated in various materials and styles — including chukka boots, monk straps and brogues — making them perfect in an even greater selection of outfits, adding a touch of elegance to any occasion.

Loafers were originally created as slippers for the British king George VI to wear around the home. They became a popular style of outdoor footwear in the 20th century when American businessmen started to wear them with suits in the 1960s. Today, loafers are a staple of the men’s wardrobe, thanks to their casual-yet-elegant allure. This comfortable item is available in a wide array of styles, including docksiders, penny loafers and tasseled looks. They are a viable alternative to sneakers, as they offer an impeccable look when worn with suits, straight-cut trousers and Bermuda shorts.

Sophisticated details and materials elevate this summer wardrobe staple. No longer just for the beach, men’s sandals are all the rage. Their easygoing allure conveys an image of relaxed comfort, making them naturally perfect for informal, everyday use, even in the city. Leather styles can be paired with wide-legged trousers and linen shirts for a casual, sophisticated look, while minimalist items are perfect for those who prefer a cleaner, classic allure. A pair of evergreen flip-flops are a must-have for long walks at sunset.

Costomized Shoes

As a runner, what you do off the track, road, or trail often has just as big an impact on your race performance as what you do on it. Research shows that regular cross-training—plyo circuits, power lifting sessions, bootcamp-style workout classes, or even cycling—can help make you fitter, stronger, and faster. But first, to really boost those benefits and reduce your risk of injury, you need to swap your regular running shoes for a training-specific style, like the ones below. Keep reading to learn why and how these workout shoes give you the stability, bounce, and support you need—and why your high-mileage pairs probably don’t.

A recent study published in the Journal of Sport and Health Science revealed that runners who completed plyometric workouts twice a week improved their performance—and their power—in just six weeks (or 12 sessions total). And another study, published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, showed that even well-trained ultramarathon runners had room for improvement: After 12 weeks of incorporating explosive plyo workouts into their routines, they saw a boost in their running economy, or their ability to run faster and longer, while using less energy. For most runners, cross-training adds variability to an all too often monotonous routine. When you log miles without doing anything else, your muscles adapt to the work and, because they’re never pushed beyond the limit they’ve already reached, your strength gains begin to taper. Your progress plateaus. Your risk for overuse injuries increases. But building regular cross-training into your running schedule (especially when it’s done strategically, under the guidance of a coach or trainer) can improve strength, power, speed, and even aid in your recovery.

We looked for cross-training shoes with design elements that help support multi-directional movements, explosive workouts, cardio/strength circuits, and heavy lifting sessions. These features include flexible uppers, cushioned (yet firm where you need it) midsoles, minimal heel-to-toe drops, reinforced heels, extra grip, and protective overlays. Many of these styles are built on lasts that are similar to your favorite running shoes; however, they will also give you the added stability and flexibility necessary to knock out all your cross-training needs.

Created as a smart solution for exercisers who are opting for outdoor workouts rather than studio sessions these days, this cross-training shoe basically provides all the benefits and comfort of the Nano X1, but with a more rugged exterior. It’s low to the ground, lightweight, flexible, and just cushioned enough underfoot for executing both strength and speed-building moves. It also has sturdy rubber lugs on the outsole that offer good grip while performing lunges on your driveway, strides on the trail, or lateral drills in the park. Its upper is covered with a breathable yet durable ripstop fabric that conforms to your foot and helps protect you from rocks and other debris you may encounter mid-sweat. Plus, an anti-microbial lining leaves your feet smelling fresh throughout.

If you’re looking for something to help you rock all those WODs (that’s Workout of the Day for you CrossFit newbies), this newest iteration of the beloved Nano is everything you need and more. Its wide base, lightweight heel clip and low-to-the-ground (aka, minimal heel-to-toe-drop) design provides extra stability for heavy weight days, a super responsive foam midsole adds some protective cushioning for plyo circuits. A soft, flexible, yet tightly woven upper keeps your feet cool and comfy, no matter how intense (or sweaty) your session gets. Strategically placed grooves on the rubber outsole improve grip both when you’re standing still and moving fast in multiple directions, too.
