How to measure your foot
- Place a sheet of paper against a wall and stand on it with your heel touching the wall.
- Mark the tip of your longest toe, which is not always the big toe.
- Measure from the edge of the paper to the mark in centimeters or inches.
- Measure both feet and use the larger one. Most people have one foot slightly bigger.
- Measure in the evening, when your feet are at their largest.
Tips for a better fit
- Between sizes? Choose the larger size, or go up half a size for pointed toes and heels.
- Mind the width. If shoes pinch at the sides, try a wide fit instead of a bigger size.
- Check the material. Leather and suede stretch with wear, while synthetic materials usually don’t.
- Wear the right socks. Try boots and sneakers with the socks you’ll wear them with.
- Buying online? Read reviews for “runs small” or “runs large” and check the return policy.
