How to Properly Measure Shoe Size

You can measure your foot size with a soft measuring tape and your own two feet. There are other ways to get a rough estimate of your shoe size, but nothing is as accurate as actually measuring your foot.

By taking the time to properly measure your feet, you will greatly reduce the need to return product and know that the shoe you’re buying will properly support your feet.

If you want to know your shoe size, the best way to get an accurate measurement is to use a soft measuring tape and measure the length and the width of your foot. This will help you determine whether you need a wide or narrow shoe.

It’s important to measure both feet, as they may differ in size. Your shoes should fit the larger foot comfortably.

When you measure your feet, wear socks that are similar to the ones you’ll wear with your new shoes.

For those dealing with swelling, be sure to measure your foot towards the end of the day as your feet will be more swollen. For those with sever swelling, you’ll need to measure your ankle and mark the measurement on the form below.

If you are unsure where to find your measurements on a soft measuring tape, here are some helpful tips:

After placing the tape at the tip of your heel, pull it across the widest part of your foot, which should be the ball. If not, please call or email us as you may need specific style of shoes to ensure a comfortable fit. Make sure the tape is snug and straight across the width of your foot and write down the width in inches rounding to the nearest quarter of an inch.
