This is the most comprehensive guide on “How to measure your shoe size”.

Whenever we choose to buy a pair of shoes from an online store, the first thing that comes in our mind is that whether the shoes will fit us properly or not?! A lot of times, we end up getting a pair that is either too loose or too fit. If this has ever happened to you, you’d know how disappointing it is! However, you do not have to worry anymore because in this guide, we will share with you everything you need to know for buying the right pair of shoes! So, what are we waiting for? Let’s just get started!

For measuring your shoe size, you need to have a tape measure or a ruler, a blank page, a pen or pencil, and a pair of socks! 

To get the most accurate measurements, it is usually recommended that you measure your feet after 2 p.m. 

Also, before measuring, you should wear your dress socks and make sure that you are relaxed! And yes, do not forget to put all your weight on your feet while taking the measurements to make it as big as possible!

Place the blank piece of A4 paper on a hard surface, just next to the wall.  You can also use a piece of cardboard if your foot size is more than 11 inches as that won’t fit on the A4 paper. Put your foot on it such that the back of your heel is against the wall. Remember to put all your weight on that foot to make it as big as possible. Then measure the length from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe. You can also draw your whole foot on a piece of paper and take the measurements but remember to keep your pen vertical for that!

Once you have drawn your foot on a piece of paper or cardboard, you just have to identify the widest point of your feet from the left and the right side and note down the measurement as the width of your feet.

 

Identify your end toe joints and measure the circumference of the ball inline between these two joints. Do not forget to put as much weight on that foot as possible to get the most accurate measurements.

Circumference of the Instep:

Find the highest position of your arch to your instep, then measure around your foot over these two positions. 

Circumference of the foot waist:

The circumference of your foot waist is between your ball and the instep. Measure around your foot over these two positions and note down the measurements. 

Circumference of the heel:

Wrap the tape around your ankle and heel, just above the instep, and note down the measurements.
Take the same measurements for your other foot as well and you are good to go!
