Beckett Simonon is one of those rare brands that feels like a hidden gem. They’re handmade leather shoes, sleek designs, premium materials, and somehow, they don’t cost a fortune.
The secret is everything is made to order. No middlemen, no piles of unsold inventory. Just direct-to-you shoes, handcrafted in small batches in Bogotá, Colombia.
But that same process that keeps prices low comes with a trade-off: you have to order online without trying them on.
And since it can take up to two months for your shoes to arrive, a sizing mistake isn’t just inconvenient, it’s a full-on headache. Returns are possible, sure, but it’s a lot of waiting and back-and-forth most of us would rather avoid.
That’s why this Beckeet Simonon sizing guide matters. We’re going to walk through exactly how Beckett Simonon shoes fit, how to pick the right size, what to expect based on your foot shape or sneaker size, and how to avoid the most common mistakes.
Let’s dive right into it…
Beckett Simonon Sizing
Beckett Simonon does sizing right. Unlike some boot brands where you’re always second-guessing and going down a half size, these run true to size for most people.
If you usually go a half size down in Red Wing, Thursday, or Wolverine, I’d still recommend sticking to your true sneaker or Brannock size when ordering Beckett Simonon.
That’s the best starting point is your Brannock size or whatever size you usually wear in dress shoes like Allen Edmonds, Cole Haan, or sneakers from Nike or Adidas. For example, if you’re a 10.5 in Nike, chances are good that you’ll be a 10.5 in Beckett Simonon too.
They only offer a standard D width. If your feet are a bit wider, like an E or EE, go up half a size. That extra room usually does the trick.
On the flip side, if you’ve got narrow feet (C width), going down half a size should get you a snug but comfortable fit.
At the moment, Beckett don’t offer these sizes: 7.5, 12.5, 13.5. So, as long as you’re a standard D width, go down half a size.
If you’re not 100% sure, reach out to their customer service. They’re actually helpful, and since these are made to order, it’s worth making sure you’re dialing in the right size the first time.

Beckett Simonon Boot Sizing
Beckett Simonon Medina Sizing
The Medina is Beckett Simonon’s take on a refined cap-toe boot. It’s clean, sleek, and a little dressy without trying too hard.
Normally, when I dress up, I’m counting the minutes until I can get home and kick off my shoes. Not with the Medina. This is one of the rare cases where you don’t have to trade comfort for style.
Like the rest of Beckett Simonon’s lineup, the Medina fits true to size. If you know your Brannock size, that’s the size you want to order.
These boots are made in a standard D width, so if you usually wear an E or EE, you’ll want to go up half a size. If you’re narrower than a D, say a C, go down half a size.
What really stands out, though, is how comfortable they are right out of the box. There’s barely any break-in. I’ve worn plenty of dress boots that looked great but left my feet begging for sneakers.
The Medina somehow avoids all that and the fit feels dialed-in from day one.

Beckett Simonon Douglas Jodhpur Sizing
The Douglas Jodhpur is one of those boots that blends sharp style with laid-back ease. It comes in sizes 7 through 14, with a few strategic half sizes sprinkled in like 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, and 11.5.
That should cover most guys out there, but keep in mind there’s only one width available. It’s a pretty standard D width, maybe leaning just slightly wider.
Now, here’s where things get specific. I found that going down half a size from my Brannock measurement gave me the best fit. That makes sense because these boots wear a lot like Chelseas.
There are no laces to cinch things down, so the fit leans a bit more relaxed. The signature ankle strap does add some support, but you’re still dealing with the classic slip-on feel.
If you’re used to lace-up boots that hug your foot tight, the Douglas will feel a bit more open. That’s just the nature of this kind of design. But don’t mistake that for sloppy or insecure; they’re comfortable, secure, and never feel like they’re sliding around.
Speaking of comfort, these are ridiculous. No break-in, no hotspots, no stiffness. The leather is soft and forgiving, and the last Beckett Simonon uses for these is clearly spot-on. Straight out of the box, they feel broken-in in the best way.

Beckett Simonon Silva Chelsea Sizing
For years, Blundstone has been the go-to Chelsea boot for a lot of people. But now, Beckett Simonon’s Silva Boot is making a strong case to replace it.
One thing that sets the Silva apart is the way it fits. You don’t just get a fixed insole and hope for the best. Beckett includes an extra set of insoles, which gives you options.
If you want a little more room, pull one out, and if you need a snugger fit, add one in. You can even drop in your own orthotics if you have them.
That kind of flexibility is rare, and it makes a big difference, especially for a Chelsea boot, which usually leaves no room for adjustment.
As far as sizing, the Silva boots run true to size. Go with your Brannock size. That worked perfectly for me, and I’ve heard the same from others, including folks who usually have trouble finding the right fit online.
Someone told me they’re a hard-to-fit size (floating between 11W and 13), and the Silvas were one of the only boots that worked out for them right out of the box.
The boots come in US sizes 7 to 14, but just one width (D). If you’re wider than a D, going up half a size is your best move.
If more brands followed Beckett’s lead with this adjustable footbed setup, I guarantee way fewer boots would get sent back. Half of mine usually do, just because the fit’s off. Not the case here.
If you’re unsure how Chelsea boots should fit in general, I recommend checking out my full article on how Chelsea boots should fit and feel. It’ll help you avoid the most common sizing mistakes.
Beckett Simonon Durant Sizing
The last has changed over the years. It used to feel more narrow and dressy, but now it gives you a lot more room in the toe box, which makes a big difference in comfort.
I noticed the instep feels a little higher than before. So, depending on your foot shape, it might feel just a touch too roomy, especially if you have a low-volume foot.
And when a dress shoe is too roomy, you’re more likely to see creasing between the cap toe and the laces as time goes on.
But that extra room also makes the new version of the Durant a lot more comfortable than the old one. If you’ve worn previous Beckett lasts, this one might actually surprise you in a good way.
The heel does feel a little wide, so if your heel is on the narrow side, you’ll want to lace them up tightly. Once you do that, the shoe really locks in. You won’t feel like you’re sliding around; just a nice, snug, supportive fit.
Now, if your Beckett Simonon dress shoes feel a little snug at first, don’t panic. That’s often normal with high-quality leather, especially if you’re between sizes or have slightly wider feet. But if the tightness doesn’t ease up after a few wears, you might want to stretch them just a bit to get that perfect fit.
I wrote a full article on how to stretch dress shoes the right way. Wheck it out if you need some practical tips to make your shoes more comfortable without damaging them.
Beckett Simonon Sneaker Sizing
Beckett Simonon Reid Sneaker Sizing
The Reid is Beckett Simonon’s sleek, dressy take on a leather sneaker, and like most of their lineup, it fits well right out of the box for most people.
That said, I did feel a bit of snugness at first. Nothing dramatic, but worth mentioning. That snug fit is mostly due to the full-grain leather upper, which just needs a little time to soften and mold to your foot. Once it does, it feels almost tailor-made.
Sizing runs from 7 to 14, and thankfully, they do offer a few half sizes, so if you’re a 10.5, you’re in luck.
Just keep in mind that these only come in a standard D width. If you need an EEE or anything wider, these probably won’t work without some discomfort.
If you’re on the fence about sizing, I definitely suggest using the size recommender on their website. It’s surprisingly accurate, especially for sneakers, and it gives you a solid starting point if you’re not sure where you land.
If you’re used to Cole Haan’s fit and you’re looking for something a little more elevated and minimal, the Reid checks all the boxes. The toe box gives enough breathing room, and overall it doesn’t feel restrictive.
Compared to something like the Thursday Encore sneaker, I actually found the Reid to be roomier through the midfoot and slightly longer overall at the same size. That means more toe space and a bit more relaxed feel, especially good for guys who hate that “tight sneaker squeeze.”
Now, here’s an article if you want to learn more about how Thursday sneakers fit. It goes into detail on each model, how they compare to other brands, and what size you should actually order.

Beckett Simonon Morgen Sneaker Sizing
Out of all the sneakers Beckett Simonon makes, the Morgen trainers are the best-fitting pair I’ve tried. No need to overthink it: these run true to size, and they just work right out of the box. I didn’t have to second guess my size or worry about sending them back. They nailed the fit here.
At first glance, they might look narrow, but once you get them on, there’s more than enough space in the toe box. I could move my toes around easily, and that surprised me in a good way. They’re sleek and streamlined, but not tight or restrictive.
If you’ve worn sneakers from brands like Nike, Adidas, Allbirds, Koio, Greats, or Oliver Cabell, your usual size in those should translate well to the Morgens.
That said, if your feet run on the narrow side, going down half a size (if that’s an option for you) will probably give you a better lockdown fit.
For guys with wider feet, you’ll want to go up a half size to give yourself a bit more breathing room.
The Morgens only come in full sizes, from size 7 to 14. So if you’re in between (say a 10.5), and your feet are average to slim, you should size down to 10. If you’re wide-footed, you’ll be better off rounding up to 11.

Beckett Simonon Garcia Sneaker Sizing
One thing I really like about the Beckett Simonon Garcia sneakers, and honestly, all their sneakers, is that the sizing is simple. You usually get it right the first time.
Unlike a lot of other brands where you end up going up a half size to get a decent fit, Beckett Simonon sneakers actually run true to size.
If you’re a size 10 on the Brannock Device, you’re going to be a size 10 in the Garcia sneakers. It’s that easy. They really seem to have the fit dialed in.
There’s also a solid shoe sizing guide on each product page, and I found it helpful. It doesn’t overcomplicate things and just tells you what you need to know.
If you’ve ever struggled to get the right fit in other dress sneakers, you’ll probably be relieved with how straightforward Beckett Simonon makes it.
The Garcia sneakers feel well balanced, not too roomy, not too snug. Unless your feet are unusually wide or very narrow, you won’t need to size up or down. For most people, the Brannock size just works.
How the Beckett Simonon Made-to-Order Model Works
Beckett Simonon doesn’t stock piles of shoes in warehouses. They’re not guessing how many size 10s in oxblood you might want.
Instead, they run a made-to-order model. When you place an order, they wait until they have enough customers lined up, and then they produce your shoes in batches.
That means less waste, no unsold inventory sitting around, and no pressure to overstock. And all those savings pass them on to you.
Now, just to be clear, this isn’t bespoke shoemaking. These aren’t custom-fitted shoes built to the shape of your foot. But the system avoids a big chunk of traditional retail overhead.
Brands like Allen Edmonds, for example, have to front-load production and hold inventory in every size, color, and style. And guess who pays for that? You do.
Beckett Simonon flips the script. They start making your shoes after you order. Once your batch is confirmed, they’ll send you updates, and they’re actually great at that.
They’ll even introduce you to the person crafting your pair, which is a cool touch. But don’t expect Amazon Prime speed. From order to doorstep, you’re looking at roughly 8–10 weeks, give or take.
So yes, you’ll save a lot. But here’s the trade-off: you don’t get to try them on beforehand. And since there’s a long wait involved, any sizing mistake can feel extra frustrating. That’s why getting your size right the first time is key and why, again, this Beckett Simonon sizing guide matters.
Break-In Period: What to Expect from Beckett Simonon
When you pull your new Beckett Simonons out of the box, expect some of their shoes to feel tight, a little stiff, and maybe even uncomfortable at first.
That’s not a flaw. That’s just what happens when you’re dealing with high-quality, full-grain leather that hasn’t been over-processed to feel soft right away. It’s a real boot. It needs time.
Here’s the good news: if you push through those first few wears, things change fast. The leather softens up, molds to your feet, and pretty soon you’ll feel like they were made just for you.
Now, not every pair takes forever to break in. Some styles like the Reid or Morgen sneakers, or the Douglas Jodhpur, feel great right out of the box.
But if you’re going for something like the Durant, Medina, or Silva Chelsea, just know they might take a few wears before they really open up.
So, don’t size up just because they feel snug on day one. That tightness is temporary. The regret of ordering the wrong size isn’t.
How to Measure your Feet for Beckett Simonon
Beckett Simonon aren’t mass-produced shoes you can swap out with a quick return. They’re handcrafted, made-to-order shoes and boots and they take weeks to arrive.
So before you click “buy,” it’s worth spending a few extra minutes to make sure you know your size.
Option 1: Get Measured by a Professional
The most accurate and reliable way to know your shoe size is to visit a real brick-and-mortar shoe store, preferably one that specializes in quality dress shoes, and ask a sales associate to measure your feet using a Brannock Device.
That’s the metal tool you’ve probably seen at stores like Allen Edmonds or Nordstrom.
These professionals know what to look for:
- Your heel-to-toe length (your standard US shoe size)
- Your arch length (important for boot fit and toe box placement)
- Your width (C, D, E, etc.)
If you’ve never done this before or haven’t been measured in years, don’t skip this. Feet can change shape over time due to weight shifts, aging, and injury.
Option 2: Use a Brannock Device at Home
You can buy a Brannock Device for around $30–$40 online. It may sound excessive, but if you’re serious about buying high-quality shoes online, it’s a smart investment.
How to measure with a Brannock Device:
- Wear socks you’d typically wear with your Beckett Simonon shoes.
- Place the device on a hard floor (not carpet).
- Stand up straight with equal weight on both feet.
- Insert your heel snugly into the back cup of the device.
- Measure your heel-to-toe length. That’s your base size.
Check the arch length by lining up the ball of your foot with the arch indicator. If your arch length suggests a larger size than your toe length, size up to that number.
Finally, measure the width. This is just as important as length. Beckett Simonon only offers standard D width, so this matters.
Option 3: Measure Your Feet at Home Without a Device
If you can’t get to a store and don’t want to buy a Brannock, you can still get a good approximation at home.
Here’s how:
What you’ll need:
- Two sheets of paper
- A pencil or pen
- A ruler or tape measure
- Socks you’d normally wear
Steps:
- Place the paper on a hard surface and tape it down.
- Stand on the paper with your full weight evenly distributed.
- Trace the outline of each foot with the pen held vertically (not at an angle).
- Measure the longest distance from heel to toe on each foot—this is your foot length.
- Measure the widest part across the ball of your foot—this is your foot width.
- Repeat for both feet (one may be slightly larger).
Use Beckett Simonon’s size chart to convert those measurements into a shoe size.

Pro Tips to Get the Right Fit
- Measure at the end of the day. Your feet swell slightly throughout the day. You want to measure them when they’re at their largest.
- Always measure both feet. Go with the size of the larger foot if there’s a difference.
- Use the socks you’ll actually wear. Don’t measure bare feet if you’re buying boots or sneakers.
- Don’t size down for “tight leather.” High-quality leather will break in, but ordering too small will just give you pain and blisters.
- Know your width. Beckett Simonon only offers standard D width. If you’re an E or wider, go up half a size. If you’re a C, go down half a size.
Final Thoughts
Let me be straight with you.
Buying boots online from a made-to-order brand like Beckett Simonon is not like grabbing a pair off the rack. You don’t get to try five sizes, walk around the store, and debate between a 10 and a 10.5 while sipping bad coffee under fluorescent lights.
You make your choice. Then you wait. Sometimes for months.
So yeah, getting the size right the first time matters more here than almost anywhere else. That’s why I made this Beckett Simonon sizing guide just to make sure you don’t sit around waiting 8 weeks for the wrong size to land on your doorstep.
Because here’s the truth: when the sizing is dialed in, Beckett Simonon makes some of the best-value boots and shoes you can buy. Hands down.
You’re getting full-grain leather, handcrafted details, and a level of comfort that punches well above the price tag.
But it only works if they fit.
Once they arrive and that leather starts to mold to your feet, you’ll get it. You’ll forget about the wait, the worry, and the tracking emails. You’ll just be wearing a pair of boots or sneakers that feel like they were made for you.
Because they were.
