Nike Mind Slide Size Chart India: 001 and 002 Fit Guide
The Nike Mind slide is one of the few Nike styles sold only in whole sizes, no half sizes at all. That single fact causes most of the sizing confusion around the 001 and 002. This guide gives you the whole size chart and a straight answer on when to round up.

Nike Mind uses the same US, UK and EU numbering as any other Nike shoe. The difference is availability: only whole numbers exist on the size run. If your normal Nike size is a half size, there is no exact match on this slide, and that is the decision this guide walks you through.
The one rule that fixes most sizing mistakes
If your regular Nike size is a whole number, order that size, true to size. If your regular size is a half size (9.5, 10.5, and so on), round up to the next whole size, not down. Reviewers consistently describe the Mind 001 and 002 as fitting exact and short at the half size boundary, which is why rounding down leaves the toe cramped while rounding up leaves comfortable room.
Nike Mind slide size chart (whole sizes, US, EU, cm)
| US | EU | Foot length (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 38.5 | 24.5 |
| 7 | 40 | 25.0 |
| 8 | 41 | 26.0 |
| 9 | 42.5 | 27.0 |
| 10 | 44 | 28.0 |
| 11 | 45 | 29.0 |
| 12 | 46 | 30.0 |

Indian frame translation: most Indian men land on a US 8, 9 or 10 whole size. If your foot measures between two rows above, for example 26.5cm, round up to the US 9 row rather than down to US 8.
Sizing by foot type
Standard and narrow feet
True to size on your whole number. If you already wear a whole US size in most Nike sneakers, that same number works here. Narrow feet have no reason to size up.
Wide feet
Size up one full size. The Mind 001 and 002 are not built as a wide shoe, and reviewers note the strap sits snugger across the forefoot than a typical slide. One full size up gives wide feet the room they need without the slide feeling loose at the heel.
Very wide feet
Size up 1 to 1.5 sizes. If a full size up on other Nike slides has still felt tight across the widest part of your foot before, go with the larger end of that range here too.
Wearing with socks
Size up one full size if you plan to wear the slide with socks rather than barefoot, since the true to size fit assumes bare or minimal foot contact.

India specific fit considerations
Half sizes. Most Indian buyers who wear a half size in Nike sneakers will need to round up here, not down, since there is no half size option on this style. Treat the whole size chart above as the only available scale, not a rounded version of a fuller chart.
Barefoot wear. Indian summers mean most buyers wear slides barefoot rather than with socks, which is exactly the use case the true to size fit assumes. If you know you will wear these with socks through cooler months, add the sock adjustment above.
Every pair from the Nike collection at Kicks Machine is inspected in house before it ships, including a size stamp check against the box label.
Care tip: a snug fit protects the strap
The Mind slide's single wide strap is the part that takes the most stress. A size that is too small stretches the strap unevenly at the pivot points; a size that is too large lets the foot slide inside it, wearing the strap's inner lining faster than normal use would. Getting the size right the first time is the easiest way to make the strap last. Our sneaker care collection has the cleaning tools we recommend for slide straps and foam footbeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Nike Mind 001 come in half sizes?
No. It is sold in whole US sizes only. If your regular Nike size is a half size, round up to the next whole number rather than down. Check current available sizes on the [Nike collection](https://www.kicksmachine.com/collections/nike).Should I size up for the Nike Mind slide?
If you wear a whole size and have standard to narrow feet, order true to size. Size up one full size if you have wide feet, plan to wear socks, or your regular size is a half size with no exact match on this style.Is Nike Mind 002 sizing the same as the Nike Mind 001?
Yes. Both are part of the same Mind slide line and use the same whole size only scale. The sizing advice above applies to both the 001 and 002.What size should I order if my foot measures between two rows on the chart?
Round up to the larger size. Because this style only comes in whole numbers, a foot length that falls between two rows is safer rounded up than down, especially if you have average to wide feet.Do Nike Mind slides run true to size overall?
For a whole size wearer with standard or narrow feet, yes. The main sizing risk is not a true to size versus runs small question, it is the missing half sizes, which is why the rounding rule above matters more than the usual true to size question.Closing thoughts
The Nike Mind slide chart is simple once you know the one thing that trips most buyers up: whole sizes only. True to size on your whole number, round up if you are a half size, and add a full size for wide feet or sock wear.
