How to Measure Your Foot Size
For the most accurate measurement, measure your feet at the end of the day when they are at their largest. Wear the type of socks you would normally wear with the shoes you intend to purchase.
1. Prepare Your Space:
Place a sheet of paper on a hard floor, ensuring it is flush against a wall.
2. Position Your Foot:
Stand on the paper with your heel firmly against the wall.
3. Trace Your Foot:
Using a pen or pencil held upright, carefully trace the outline of your foot. It's often easier to have someone else do this for you.
4. Mark the Length:
Mark the longest point of your foot (from the tip of your longest toe to the back of your heel) on the paper.
5. Measure the Length:
Use a ruler or tape measure to find the length in both centimeters (cm) and inches (in).
6. Repeat for Both Feet:
It's common for one foot to be slightly larger than the other. Measure both feet and use the larger measurement to determine your size.

Tips for Finding the Perfect Fit

Find Your Perfect Fit
A great fit goes beyond just the length of your foot. Consider these points when trying on your new shoes:
- Check the Width: The shoe should feel snug around the sides of your foot but not tight. You shouldn't feel excessive pressure on the ball or sides of your foot.
- Allow for Toe Room: There should be about a thumb's width (approximately 1/2 inch or 1.3 cm) of space between the end of your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Walk Around: The best way to test the fit is to walk on a carpeted surface. Your heel should not slip out of the back of the shoe, and you shouldn't feel any pinching or rubbing.
- Consider the Arch: The arch of the shoe should align comfortably with the arch of your foot, providing adequate support.
Fit Advice for Different Shoe Styles
Different shoe constructions can affect the fit.
Oxfords & Dress Shoes:
These are typically designed to have a more precise and structured fit. Ensure a snug fit without being restrictive, as high-quality leather will mold to your foot over time.
Loafers:
A proper loafer fit should be snug from the start. They will stretch slightly and conform to your foot with wear. A small amount of heel slip is normal initially but should diminish as the sole becomes more flexible.
Boots
When fitting boots, ensure you have enough room to wiggle your toes. The boot should grip your heel and instep firmly to prevent your foot from sliding forward, especially on inclines.
