How to measure your feet
To measure your feet in the simplest way, you need a wall, a piece of paper, a pencil, and something to measure with, for example a measuring tape or a ruler.
- Place the paper edge to edge with the wall and make sure there is no space between the wall and the paper.
- Stand on the paper with your heels against the wall.
- Put a mark on the paper where your longest toe ends. Do this for both feet.
- Use the measuring tape or ruler to measure from the edge of the paper to the mark. Now you know your foot length.
How to choose the right shoe size
Start from the foot length of your longest foot. It is common to have different foot sizes, and by starting from the longest, it is more likely that the shoes will fit both feet.
- Add 5–20 mm (0.2–0.8 inches) to allow space in front of the toes.
- The exact allowance depends on the shoe model and your preferred fit.
- Keep in mind that your feet may swell slightly during the day.
