YZY Pods sizing: yeezy.com changed the chart, and most guides missed it

Search “Yeezy Pods sizing” and you’ll get two different answers. One says a size 3 fits US 10 to 13. The other says US 11 to 13. Both came from yeezy.com. The store changed its chart when it relaunched the Pods in February 2024, and plenty of guides are still quoting the first one.

Here’s each chart, when it applied, and which size fits which foot.

Two official charts, two months apart

The Pods went up for pre-order in December 2023 at $200, in black only, in three sizes. The size guide on that pre-order page read: size 1 under US 6, size 2 US 7 to 9.5, size 3 US 10 to 13. Hypebeast printed the same chart on 15 Dec 2023, and Footwear Magazine repeated it in January. The launch itself is in the Pods launch file.

On 11 Feb 2024, yeezy.com cut the price to $20 and put up a new size table. Size 1 became US 6 to 8.5, size 2 became US 9 to 10.5, and size 3 became US 11 to 13. By March the product description had been rewritten to match.

The old chart had a hole in it: nothing covered a US 6 or 6.5. The new one runs straight from 6 to 13 with no gaps, which is the likeliest reason it changed.

Pod size	Pre-order chart (Dec 2023)	Current chart (from Feb 2024)
1	Under US 6 (EU 39)	US 6-8.5
2	US 7-9.5 (EU 40-43)	US 9-10.5
3	US 10-13 (EU 44-47)	US 11-13

The fit note yeezy.com added

Under the new table, the store added one line of advice: “Brother is size US 11 he is wearing a size 3.” That’s the bottom of the size 3 range. It’s also the only fit note yeezy.com ever published for the Pods.

How they actually fit

The Pod is a one-piece stretch knit with a collar that rises up the shin and thin rubber pods under the forefoot and heel, Sneaker Freaker and Hypebeast both reported. There aren’t any laces, and Hypebeast described the knit as stretchy, so there’s give in every size.

That stretch is why owners lean small. Revolt reported in 2024 that buyers were advised to size down, without saying by whom. Footwear Magazine’s September 2024 review rounded up Reddit owners and found that most who wear a US 10 or 11 chose a size 2.

So read it this way. If you’re a US 11 to 13, it’s a size 3: that’s yeezy.com’s chart and its own fit note. A US 10.5 is a size 2 on the current chart, and you’d only take a 3 if you want it loose. Between a 10 and an 11, owners lean to the size 2, though a 3 fits with more room at the toe.

From $200 to $20

The Pods retailed at $200 at the pre-order. Then, on 11 Feb 2024, yeezy.com dropped them to $20, and Complex reported that anyone who’d paid $200 could ask for $180 back. Sneaker Freaker credited the design to Steve Smith in its December 2023 coverage.

The Pods sold under two charts and two prices inside the same winter. Only one of each survived, and if you’re a US 11, it’s the size 3.
