How to Measure Your Feet Correctly

Measuring your feet accurately is essential to ensure you choose the perfect shoe size, especially when shopping online. Follow this simple guide to measure your feet precisely and make informed decisions before ordering.

What You’ll Need

  • A sheet of paper larger than your foot.
  • A pen or pencil.
  • A ruler or measuring tape.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your Space
Place the sheet of paper on the floor, against a flat wall. Ensure the surface is hard and even.

2. Position Your Foot
Stand barefoot or with the type of socks you plan to wear with the shoes. Place your heel firmly against the wall. This detail is crucial as it affects the measured length.

3. Mark the Tip of Your Foot
Using a pen or pencil, draw a line at the tip of your longest toe. Ensure the pen is held vertically for greater accuracy.

4. Measure the Length
Use the ruler or measuring tape to measure the distance between the edge of the paper (at the wall) and the line you marked. Record the value in centimeters or millimeters.

5. Repeat with the Other Foot
Feet can vary slightly in size. Measure both feet and use the measurement of the larger foot to select your shoe size.

Additional Recommendations

  • Consider Thicker Socks
    If you plan to wear the shoes in cold conditions, especially boots, consider the possibility of wearing thicker socks. In such cases, you may need to choose a larger size, allowing an additional 0.5 to 1 cm for added comfort.
  • Leave Extra Space
    To avoid overly tight shoes, add 0.5 to 1 cm to your foot measurement. This extra space ensures comfort during extended wear.
  • Avoid Measuring at Night
    Feet can swell throughout the day. The best time to measure your feet is in the late afternoon when they are at their most accurate size.
  • Check the Size Chart
    Refer to our size chart to find the corresponding number for your measurement in centimeters. Note that sizes can vary significantly between different models and manufacturers.

    Tips to Avoid Common Mistakes

    • Ensure your heel is firmly against the wall while measuring.
    • Hold the pen or pencil perpendicular to the paper to avoid errors.
    • Avoid measuring your feet while sitting, as weight distribution affects foot dimensions slightly.

    Why Is It Important to Measure Both Feet?

    It’s common for one foot to be slightly larger than the other. By using the measurement of the larger foot, you avoid the discomfort of tight-fitting shoes. Remember, comfort should always come first!
