Getting the
Correct Shoe Size
In order to correctly measure your shoe
size, all you need is a piece of paper larger
than your foot, a pencil, tape and a ruler or
measuring tape.
First of all, tape the paper to the floor,
then sit so that your foot is firmly planted on
the floor with your leg bent a little bit
forward. Your shin should be just in front of
your ankle. Wear only the socks similar to those
that you will be wearing with the shoes, then
trace the outline of your foot while you hold
the pencil upright perpendicular to the paper.
Do not hold the pencil at an angle. The pencil
should also be firmly against your foot when you
draw around it. It would be best if someone else
could trace your foot, but if no one is
available, you may do it yourself.
In order to determine the length of your foot,
draw straight lines that touch the outer points
at the top, bottom and sides of the foot
outline. Then hold the measuring tape (or ruler)
completely straight and measure the length from
the bottom line to the top line. Use the closest
1/16 inch, and do not round off to anything more
than 1/16 of an inch. Write down the number.
To determine the width of your foot, measure
from the line on one side to the other side of
your foot tracing. Once again, use the closest
1/16 mark. Write down the number.
Then repeat these steps for your other foot.
Write down the number. Since one of your feet is
slightly larger than the other, you will need to
use the larger of the two.
Subtract 2/10 of an inch from the numbers you
have written down; this will be your actual foot
measurement. (The reason for subtracting 2/10 of
an inch is that you need to accommodate for the
slim space between your foot and the line made
by the pencil.)
You may convert the numbers to the actual shoe
size and width by using the conversion tables
listed below.
