Maison Mihara Yasuhiro makes sneakers that you recognize immediately. They have a distinctive, almost "melted" sole and a bold look that you don’t often see elsewhere. Popular models like the Peterson Sole and the Hank Sole have been increasingly seen in streetwear and high-end fashion lately.
But how do these sneakers actually fit? Can you just order your standard size, or do you need to go a bit bigger or smaller? In this blog, we explain it all clearly, so you know exactly what you’re choosing.
Do Mihara sneakers run large, small, or true to size?
In general, you can say that Maison Mihara sneakers tend to fit normal to slightly roomy. They look a bit rough, but feel surprisingly comfortable on the inside. Especially with models like the Peterson Sole, which feels a bit wider at the toes, there is enough room without it becoming bulky.
The Hank Sole fits a bit tighter around the heel and instep, but still not too tight. This model usually also applies: your own size is fine.
All models have a kind of 'casual fit'. They are not tight like a sports shoe, but give you just that little bit of space that is nice for daily use.
Do you have narrow feet, or do you like a shoe that fits snugly around your foot? Then you might consider a half a size smaller to consider, especially with the Peterson Sole. That model fits a bit looser than the rest.
How about the wearing comfort?
You might expect them to be heavy or stiff because of those thick soles, but that’s really not the case. Maison Mihara sneakers are nice and sturdy, yet flexible on your feet.
The inside is softly lined, and the sole provides good cushioning when walking. Whether you are out for a day, going to work, or just hanging around the city. These shoes hold up well without causing foot discomfort.
Size advice for the Mihara models
To make your choice easier, here are a few simple guidelines:
-
The Peterson Sole runs a bit roomier, especially at the toe. For narrow feet, a half size smaller can feel better.
-
The Hank Sole fits a bit tighter, especially around the ankle and instep. Feel free to take your normal size here.
-
Are you unsure between two sizes? Then rather choose the larger one. They should not fit tight like running shoes.
-
Try on new sneakers preferably at the end of the day – then your feet are slightly swollen and you get the most realistic feel.
Here's how to make the right choice!
Maison Mihara sneakers usually run normal to slightly on the roomy side. The Peterson Sole is a bit looser and gives you extra room at the toes. The Hank Sole fits a bit tighter, but is still comfortable enough for daily use.
Do you want a relaxed fit that combines style and comfort? Then you can safely choose your normal size. For those who are a bit narrower built, a half size smaller can feel better, especially with the Peterson model.
