The one rule that fixes most sizing mistakes
Order true to size using your longest foot measurement, and size up if you fall between two numbers. Anta's own sizing guidance recommends measuring both feet at the end of the day, when they are naturally at their largest, and using the bigger measurement to choose your size.

C202: fit notes
The C202 is Anta's carbon plated marathon racing shoe, the model most Indian buyers are searching for. True to size for most feet, though a small number of reviewers describe specific colourways feeling snug and slightly short at their normal US size. If you have found other performance racing shoes fit true to size for you, the C202 should match; if you are between two sizes on the chart above, sizing up is the safer call given this occasional snug feedback.

India specific fit considerations
Measuring at the right time. Anta's own advice to measure feet at the end of the day is especially relevant for Indian buyers doing longer runs or standing through work hours before a run, since feet naturally swell over the day.
Racing versus daily use. If you plan to race in the C202, keep the fit true to size or only size up if you are genuinely between two numbers. If you are buying primarily for the look or occasional shorter runs, a size up trades a small amount of performance precision for comfort.
Every pair from the Anta collection at Kicks Machine is inspected in house before it ships, size stamp checked against the box label.
Care tip: carbon plated racing shoes need the right fit to perform
A well fitted C202 keeps the carbon plate positioned correctly under the foot for its intended propulsion effect. An oversized pair lets the foot shift inside the shoe, reducing how effectively the plate works. Our sneaker care collection has cleaning products suited to lightweight racing mesh uppers like the C202's.
