Extr4 Size Guide

Extr4 comes up large, so size down one. If you are a UK 9 in most shoes, order the UK 8. This guide gives the EU to UK conversion and covers what to do if you are caught between sizes. Everything we carry from Extr4 is footwear.

Does Extr4 Run Big or Small?

Extr4 runs big. Size down one. Every Extr4 product at Union 22 carries the Big Fit indicator and it applies across the range.

This is the standard position for Italian-made footwear and Extr4 is no exception. If you have bought Italian trainers before you will already expect it. If Extr4 is your first pair, take the instruction as written rather than splitting the difference.

The Union 22 Fit System

Every product page at Union 22 carries one of three fit indicators. It is an instruction about sizing, not a description of the style:

BIG FIT - SIZE DOWN ONE
The piece comes up large, so take the size below your usual one. This is the label on every Extr4 product we carry.
REGULAR FIT - TAKE YOUR NORMAL SIZE
True to size, no adjustment. No Extr4 product carries this indicator. Some of the other footwear brands we carry do, which is why it is worth reading the line rather than carrying a habit across.
SLIM FIT - SIZE UP ONE
The piece cuts close and needs the size above. No Extr4 product carries this indicator.

Extr4 Size Conversion: EU to UK

Every pair at Union 22 is listed with both EU and UK, for example EU 42 / 8 UK. Apply the size down after you convert, not before. Find your usual UK size, then take the next size down.

EUUK
EU 40UK 6
EU 41UK 7
EU 42UK 8
EU 43UK 9

Whole sizes only - there is no half size to fall back on. The run is a narrow one, so the size selector on each product shows exactly what we hold in that pair.

What To Do If You Are Between Extr4 Sizes

Go down. There is no half size to take and the shoe already runs large, so the smaller of the two is the right call. A trainer that is too big will slip at the heel however tightly you lace it.

If you are genuinely unsure, message us before ordering rather than after. On a short size run the pair you want may not come back if it goes.
