It is very important that you measure your feet using our tools and that you don't rely on sizing from other brands. We have adjusted our sizing to be in-line with US Brannock device sizing. We offer both a "D" and "E" width, based on the US Brannock sizing system. The "How to Choose the Correct Size" video shows the best methods for determining your Ace Marks size and width. Best methods are:
- Go into a store and have your feet measured using a Brannock device. (Video #1 @ :39)
- Print our Measuring Tool (Video #1 @ 1:40)
Step 1) Print Size (Length) Measuring Tool

How To Print The Sizing or Width Measuring Tool
How To Use The Sizing or Width Measuring Tool
How To Determine Your Size & Width Using The Sizing & Width Measuring Tool:
- Remove your shoes, but be sure to leave on a pair of socks similar to the type that you plan to wear with your shoes.
- Put a straight edge (ruler, clipboard, book, etc.) on the red line behind where it says "Right/Left Heel" (depending on which foot you are measuring--using the correct side is VERY IMPORTANT).
- While standing, put your heel firmly against the straight edge and put your foot down.
- Record the size indicated at the tip of your longest toe (the longest point of your foot). Marking this with a pen while standing on the tool is best, as it can be difficult to accurately read the measurement from a distance. If the size falls between two lengths, choose the longer length.
- Repeat entire measuring process for your other foot, but remember to flip the measuring tool so that you are using the correct side: Right or left heel. Very few people have feet that exactly match one another, and you should buy shoes based on your larger foot size.
- Record the width indicated on the widest part of your foot (make sure that the inside of your foot is properly aligned with the red line). Marking this with a pen while standing on the tool is best, as it can be difficult to accurately read the measurement from a distance. If your width falls between two widths, and you prefer a closer fit, you may want to stick with the narrower width unless you have a high instep. If you prefer a looser fit, go with the wider width.
- If you are a "2E" make sure that you buy half a size bigger than what you measure. So if you are a size 10EE, buy a size 10.5E.
- If you are a "3E" make sure that you buy a full size bigger than what you measure. So if you are a size 10EEE, buy a size 11E.
- If you have a high instep, you should stick with one of the lace shoes or monk straps. If you have a VERY high instep, go up half a size (if you are a "D" width with a very high instep, get an "E" width in your proper size).
- If you are a "C" width, make sure that you buy a half size smaller than what you measure. So if you are a size 10C, buy a size 9.5D. You should also stick with a lace shoe so that it can be better adjusted to your foot.
- If you are a "B" width, make sure that you buy a full size smaller than what you measure. So if you are a size 10B, buy a size 9D. You should also stick with a lace shoe so that it can be better adjusted to your foot.

Product Reviews
- RARobert A.Rated 4 out of 5 stars6 years agoBeautiful Shoes, but...
I just received these a couple days ago. I was hoping they would be a little more burgundy in color, but they are still a very nice color. I??e only worn them once and are very comfortable. When I ordered these via the clearance/blemish special for $199.00, I was unsure of the size to order since these are my first Ace Marks. I already have Ferragamo??, Santoni, Mezlan, Massimo, Magnanni and AE?? so know the fits are all over the place. Luckily, I watched the fit video and when Ace was compared to Magnanni they said order a size bigger in Ace. A 9 1/2 E Magnanni fits me perfectly so ordered the 10 1/2 E Ace. As soon as I put these Milo?? on, they felt great (I probably should have gone with the 10 E because they are a touch one but I like my shoes a little on the loose side due to my high instep).
Now for the critical parts. The shoes had slight creases just to the rear of the toe box when they arrived, as if they had already been worn. The quality of the leather is a little suspect as you can see in the photos. I do leather work and am familiar with the various qualities of leather and the part of the shoe where there is a close-up photo, the leather almost appears to be belly cuts of leather or other less than high quality cuts. There is also a flaw line in that same photo coming down from the corner. Then again, these are clearance/blemish shoes so I can?? be too critical.
Overall, aside from the described minor flaws, they are very nice shoes and I will likely order…

- JLJesse L.Rated 4 out of 5 stars5 years agoNice in-between shoe
Ace Marks strikes that balance between cheaply made, inexpensive shoes and the shoes you have to save up to buy. These blucher shoes broke in nicely. They fit as expected (I would say they are sized as advertised). They were a little snug around the middl
- SLScott L.Rated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoGreat shoes
Great shoes. Fit perfectly and look great. I've had a couple people compliment them in the one week I've been wearing them. Definitely will be a repeat customer.
