Size 16, 16.5 and 17 width chart
A men's size 16D (standard width) foot has a ball girth of 29.0 cm (11.42 in). Our size 16 comes in 7 widths, with ball girth running from 28.4 cm (11.18 in) in C to 32.2 cm (12.68 in) in EEEEE, each width 6 to 7 mm larger than the one before. A size 16.5D foot has a ball girth of 29.4 cm (11.57 in), and a size 17D foot has a ball girth of 29.7 cm (11.69 in). Size 16.5 runs from 28.7 cm (11.30 in) in C to 32.8 cm (12.91 in) in EEEEE, and size 17 runs from 29.0 cm (11.42 in) in C to 33.1 cm (13.03 in) in EEEEE. If you are between widths, err on the wider or more snug side based on your fit preference. Remember, leather will stretch!
Ball girth is the circumference around the widest part of your forefoot, across the ball, just below where your toes begin.

For example, a size 16 foot with a ball girth of 29.0 cm (11.42 in) is a 16D at Adelante, a size 16.5 foot at 29.4 cm (11.57 in) is a 16.5D, and a size 17 foot at 29.7 cm (11.69 in) is a 17D.
How to measure your ball girth
- Stand up. Your foot spreads under your full body weight, so a measurement taken sitting reads smaller. Measure in the evening, when your feet are at their largest.
- Wrap the widest part of your forefoot. Wrap a soft measuring tape around the ball of your foot, just below where your toes begin. Let it run at a slight angle, a little further forward at the big toe joint than at the little toe joint. Pull it snug, but not tight. No soft tape? Use a strip of paper or a piece of string, mark where the end meets, then measure it with a ruler.
- Record it in centimeters, for both feet. Use the larger number on the chart. If your feet differ by a full width or more, split sizing lets you choose a different width for each foot, free of charge.
Not sure which width fits? Take the Find My Size quiz on any product page, email your ball girth and the size you usually wear to support@adelanteshoes.com, or book a free Virtual Fitting with Crhis. You can also read how to tell if you need wide shoes.
If your foot measures 33.4 cm (13.15 in) heel to toe, order men's size 16; at 33.8 cm (13.31 in), order 16.5; at 34.3 cm (13.50 in), order 17.
