Looking for reliable information about Premiata? In this article we share our knowledge about the fit and sizing of Premiata. As a family business with decades of experience in premium fashion, we know the fabrics, fits and details inside out, and you'll find our full range in the complete Premiata collection.
Short answer: Premiata often runs slightly large; many wearers choose their normal size or half a size smaller. If you have a wide foot, stick to your normal size. If you're unsure between two sizes, consult the size chart on the product page and take into account what you'll wear underneath.
Premiata: heritage and origins
Premiata comes from Montegranaro, the heart of the Italian shoe industry, and builds on a long family tradition in shoemaking. Known for luxury sneakers with a "used" finish and a rich mix of materials.
That background explains why Premiata does what it does: think of models like the Lander (popular runner model with material mix). You see that heritage reflected in every piece we stock, which you can view in our Premiata collection. It's precisely that consistency — generation after generation with the same attention to origin and finish — that makes Premiata maintain its reputation and hold its value.
Distinctive materials and craftsmanship
What makes Premiata recognisable lies in the materials and finish. These are the details by which you recognise an original:
- A combination of suede, leather and mesh on one silhouette
- An intentionally vintage/used finished look
- Italian production with an eye for detail
These material choices are no accident but a deliberate trade-off between function, comfort and durability. They explain why a piece from Premiata wears more pleasantly, ages better and lasts longer than a cheaper alternative. Want to look specifically? Check out Premiata for men.
Iconic models
A few models form the backbone of the house. Anyone considering Premiata should know them:
- Lander — popular runner model with material mix.
- Mick — much-worn low-top with vintage finish.
- Conny — women's model with the same Italian finish.
Many of these icons come in both men's and women's versions; check out Premiata for women for example for the women's models.
How do Premiata fit? Sizing advice
Premiata often runs slightly large; many wearers choose their normal size or half a size smaller. If you have a wide foot, stick to your normal size.
Quick size selection at a glance:
| Situation | Sizing advice |
|---|---|
| Normal, average foot | Your normal (EU) size |
| Wide foot or in-between size | Consider one size larger |
| Wearing thick socks | Half to full size larger |
Our tip: always check the size chart on the product page and take into account what you'll wear underneath. Sizing can vary slightly per model, so don't let one model determine your choice for another. Still unsure about a model? Compare easily within Premiata offers.
Common sizing mistakes
- Blindly sticking to your ready-to-wear size without checking the brand-specific size chart.
- Not accounting for the layer underneath (a thick jumper often requires one extra size).
- Ignoring the width of your foot; a narrow or wide fit changes your sizing choice.
- Placing too much value on loose online reviews instead of the official size chart.
What to pay attention to when buying
- Buy from an official retailer: this ensures your Premiata is genuine and that warranty applies.
- Check the material (full leather or premium suede) and finish; this determines longevity.
- Maintain properly right away: with the right care you'll preserve the look for years.
Many customers ask us why Premiata is worth the price. The answer lies in the combination of origin, material choice and finish: each choice you see reflected in fit, durability and wearing comfort. Once you're used to the quality, you notice the difference from fast fashion immediately.
Premiata's reputation is no accident: it comes from consistent choices in material, construction and finish. That explains why a piece from Premiata does what it promises in practice — and why it holds its value.
Our experience as a family business teaches us that the right size and proper care make the difference between a purchase you enjoy for years and a misstep. Unsure about size, model or care? Our customer service is happy to think it through with you without obligation.
Also keep the wearing occasion in mind. A piece you wear daily deserves a timeless, versatile finish; for a specific occasion you can certainly choose something with more character. By choosing consciously you build a wardrobe that lasts years rather than being replaced each season.
Finally: quality and durability go hand in hand. A well-made piece that you wear for a long time and maintain properly is not only more beautiful in the long run but also smarter than constantly buying something cheaper. That's what we believe in, and that's what we advise our customers on.
For us it's not about the trend of the moment. We select brands and models that have earned their reputation through craftsmanship, and we stand behind every piece we sell. Have a question about a specific model or material? We're happy to answer it based on experience rather than sales talk.
How to style it
Premiata works well within a premium wardrobe. Keep the silhouette balanced: let the shoe be the accent and keep the rest understated. Need inspiration? Check out sneakers for men or sneakers for women to complete your look.
The beauty of a premium base is that it moves with the rest of your wardrobe. One well-chosen pair of shoes elevates both a casual and a smarter outfit, as long as you keep the proportions calm and let the material do the work.
