How to measure your shoe size
The most reliable way to choose a size is foot length. Measure both feet because they can differ slightly. It is best to measure in the afternoon, when your feet are a bit fuller after daily activity.
How to measure
- Place a sheet of paper on a flat floor next to a wall.
- Stand on the paper with your heel touching the wall. Put your weight on the foot you are measuring.
- Trace your foot with a pencil or pen held perfectly vertical. If you tilt it, the outline will be inaccurate.
- Mark the two farthest points: the center of the heel and the tip of the longest toe.
- Use a ruler to measure the straight distance between those points. Add 0.5 cm for comfort.
- Repeat for the other foot and use the larger result.
How to use your result
Once you have your foot length, check the size chart of the specific brand. Charts can vary, so when ordering, share your foot length in centimeters. This is the simplest way to get a pair that fits properly.
