ARM MEASUREMENT:

Measure from where the shoulder connects to the arm and down to wrist.

Measure around the widest area of the thigh.

HIP MEASUREMENT:

Measure around the largest area of your hips, encapsulating the roundest part of your gluteus.

MEASURE YOUR RIB CAGE:

Measure around your rib cage just under your bust. Round down to the closest inch. This is your rib cage measurement, which you’ll need to figure out your band and cup size.

FIGURE OUT YOUR BAND SIZE:

Take your rib cage measurement from step 1 and read across the chart below to find your band size.

SIZE BUST
XS 28-31" 71-79 cm
S 30-33" 76-84 cm
M 34-36" 86-91 cm
L 37-39" 94-99 cm
XL 40-42" 102-107 cm
2XL 42-44" 107-112 cm
1X 44-47" 112-119 cm
2X 47-50" 119-127 cm
3X 51-54" 130-137 cm

FIGURE OUT YOUR CUP SIZE - THIS IS A 2-STEP PROCESS:

First, measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape straight across your back. Round up to the nearest whole number. This is your bust measurement.

Now, subtract your rib cage measurement (step 1) from your bust measurement (step 3). The difference in inches is your suggested cup size. If you’re between sizes, round up.

BUST SIZE MINUS RIB CAGE SIZE YOUR CUP SIZE
3" 7.6 cm AA
4" 10.2 cm A
5" 12.7 cm B
6" 15.2 cm C
7" 17.8 cm D
8" 20.3 cm DD
9" 22.9 cm E

FIT GUIDELINES:

Every bra serves a different purpose for different activities and we recommend referencing each specific bra product description to determine the best bra for your body and sport. Our bras should generally fit snug. Wearing the bras too loose will not likely provide adequate support.

***Please note, a majority of our sports bras are medium support and medium coverage. If you are looking for the highest impact support that we offer; check out the X-Factor, Intensity or Moxie Sports Bra!

MEASURING TIPS:

We have determined that your waist measurement will most likely dictate your size. Right on the edge between two sizes? You can utilize your thigh and hip measurements as secondary guidelines to help you find the perfect size.

WAIST MEASUREMENT:

Measure around the smallest part of your torso, keeping the measuring tape as horizontal as possible.

THIGH MEASUREMENT:

Measure around widest area of the thigh.

HIP MEASUREMENT:

Measure around the largest area of your hips, encapsulating the roundest part of your gluteus.

DESCRIPTION

Classic Look, Built Wider.

Traditional street shoes look great, but are built narrow with minimal cushioning. After a day of wear, your toes, heels, and arches ache. Our CEO, Bear, had the same problem. He loved the look of popular skate shoes, but his feet would hurt after wearing them all day. So he decided to take what we’ve learned from the Savage 1 and apply it to a casual shoe you can comfortably wear all day. Meet the Urban Recon 1, the street shoe built for all-day comfort and functionality.

Constructed with Born Primitive’s signature wide toe box, lightweight EVA midsole, and removable dual-density molded footbed, the Urban Recon 1 delivers comfort and support where traditional street shoes fail. When it comes to your toes, millimeters matter. The Urban Recon 1's toe box is 8mm wider than the leading skate shoe and holds over 18% more volume. If you’re tired of smashing your toes into a narrow toe box for the sake of style, it’s time to try the Urban Recon 1.

FEATURES

– Upper: suede, textile, leather, TPU
– Lining: textile
– Durable molded rubber outsole with shield-tread traction
– Compression-molded EVA midsole balances stability, cushioning, and energy return
– Dual-density molded footbed for stability and all-day comfort
– Wide toe box and 4mm heel-to-toe drop for biomechanical balance
– Mid-height padded collar for comfort and ankle stability

SIZING RECOMMENDATIONS

The Urban Recon fits true to size with intentionally more room through the toe box for natural toe splay.

If you already own the Savage 1 we suggest ordering the same size. If you are new to Born Primitive, start with your standard size.

    Love the shoes

    Great quality, feel comfortable, don't get Hotspots on bottom of my feet. Had injury in my ankle this helps with mobility and stability when walking. Walked probably 20 miles in them and they clean up fairly easy. Definitely recommend for others who may have past injuries and are trying to articulate their feet more.
