How to Measure Your Foot for the Right Shoe Size

Follow the step-by-step instructions below to measure your foot for the most accurate size:

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Paper
    Place a piece of blank paper on a flat surface.
  2. Step 2: Position Your Feet
    Stand up straight and have your heel lightly touching the wall. Make sure your feet are properly aligned with the paper.
  3. Step 3: Mark Your Longest Toe
    Have someone mark the end of the longest toe and the back of your heel on the sheet with a pen or pencil.
  4. Step 4: Measure the Foot Length
    After marking, measure the length of your foot from heel to toe.
  5. Step 5: Measure Both Feet
    Since one foot is often slightly larger than the other, repeat the steps for your other foot and use the larger measurement for the correct size.
