Your size guide for your ATLAS safety shoes


There are plenty of reasons to buy new safety shoes or work shoes, whether it’s a new job, changing requirements or simply the desire for something new.  Now all that’s left is to choose the right size – no problem. But be careful! The sizes of everyday shoes cannot simply be applied to safety shoes. In the leisure footwear sector, ergonomic fits and width options are rarely found. As a result, a full 80 per cent of young people starting their careers choose the wrong size when buying their first safety shoes. So, should you buy safety shoes one size larger? Not necessarily!

Choosing the right size is crucial for comfort and safety in the workplace. Safety footwear or work shoes that do not fit properly can cause pressure points, blisters or even long-term foot problems. Furthermore, poorly fitting shoes can compromise their protective effect, increase the risk of injury from twisting your ankle or tripping, and, in the long term, lead to misalignments and poor posture.

How to find the right size for your Atlas shoes


There are two ways to find the right size for your new ATLAS safety shoes.

1. Simple, manual measurement

To measure your foot size and width simply and manually, place your foot on a white A4 sheet of paper. Then trace the outline of your feet. This is best done with the help of a second person. Next, measure your foot using a ruler or tape measure. Finally, refer to the table below to find your ATLAS shoe size.

2. ATLAS SCAN YOUR FEET APP – Faster, smarter, simpler

Alternatively, you can find your perfect shoe size even more easily and accurately using our ATLAS SCAN YOUR FEET APP – directly and conveniently from your smartphone. The app offers you: interactive foot measurement, pixel-perfect accuracy and detailed product descriptions.

Which shoe width is right for me?

The best way to determine the ideal width for your Atlas safety shoes is using the Mondopoint method. This internationally recognised measurement method takes into account not only the length but also the width of the foot to ensure the best possible fit. To determine the correct width, the circumference of the foot is measured at the widest point of the ball of the foot. Based on these measurements, the appropriate shoe width can then be determined using the Mondopoint system. 

All ATLAS safety shoes with standard width 10 are manufactured with a wide, foot-friendly fit. In addition, our customised multi-width system is available. Width 12 is suitable for wider feet. Our special widths 13 and 14 offer space and comfort for very wide and extra-wide, wide feet.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions



Do Atlas shoes tend to run small or large?

Compared to many sports shoes, Atlas safety shoes tend to run slightly larger for some customers, which means these customers need to go one size smaller in Atlas shoes. However, the most accurate and easiest way to determine the exact size of Atlas safety shoes is via the ‘Scan your Feet’ app or by measuring your feet. You can find further information in our size guide.

How can I find out my shoe size for Atlas safety shoes?

You can determine the right size for your Atlas safety shoes quickly and easily – either directly via the Atlas ‘Scan your Feet’ app or by measuring your feet manually. Both methods ensure that you find the perfect fit for maximum comfort and protection. You can find further information in our size guide.

How can I find out the width of my Atlas shoes?

The best way to determine the ideal width for your Atlas safety shoes is using the Mondopoint method. This internationally recognised measurement method takes into account not only the length but also the width of the foot to ensure the best possible fit.

To determine the correct width, the circumference of the foot is measured at the widest point of the ball of the foot. Based on these measurements, the appropriate shoe width can then be determined using the Mondopoint system.

What can I do if the shoe is too big or too small?

A perfect fit is crucial for comfort, safety and long-term wellbeing – especially with shoes that are worn for many hours every day.

To ensure you feel completely comfortable in your Atlas safety shoes, we recommend exchanging them for a better fit if necessary. A shoe that fits perfectly not only ensures maximum stability and protection, but also reduces the risk of pressure points, fatigue and discomfort.

Take advantage of our simple exchange service to find a style or size that’s perfectly suited to your needs. We’re also happy to advise you on choosing the right size and width so that you can find the best shoes for your everyday working life.

What is the Mondopoint method?

Mondopoint is a metric measurement system used to determine the exact size of shoes. Unlike conventional shoe size systems (e.g. EU, UK or US), Mondopoint specifies the foot length in millimetres (mm) and the foot width or ball circumference. This allows for a more precise fit, particularly for work and safety footwear, where an optimal fit is essential. Further information can be found in our size guide.
