Nike Air Force 1 Sizing Guide: Do They Run Big?

The Nike Air Force 1 is the best-selling white sneaker of all time and probably the most versatile pair out there. Its fit, though, is one of the widest in Nike's lineup, which throws a lot of people off when picking a size.

Does the Air Force 1 run big?

Yes. The AF1 feels wide and long on most feet. The classic advice is to go down half a size from your usual number, especially in the Low. If you have wide feet, your true size will be perfect.

Low, Mid and High

The Low is the most popular and the one where going down half a size makes the most sense. The Mid and High lock in your ankle more, but they share the same width, so the rule still applies.

Quick recommendation

  • Regular or narrow feet: go down 0.5 size.
  • Wide feet / high instep: your true size.
  • Wearing thick socks: your true size.

A classic that goes with everything

The white AF1 is the perfect foundation for any rotation. If you're after a pair, check out the Nike Air Force 1 '07 White and every colorway of the Nike Air Force 1. To get both length and width right, cross-check with the official size guide.
