HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FOOT

Posted by Maria Rita Bihis

Size matters not according to Yoda. Not so true especially when it comes to shoes. For you don’t want it too small as it may cause you foot pains and problems or too large as it can cause blistering and lack of stability.

Determining your proper shoe size is essential to a comfortable fit. All you need is a piece of paper larger than your foot, a pencil, a tape and a ruler. Just follow these steps:

1. Tape the paper down to the floor. 2. At the end of the day when your feet are at it’s largest, place your foot, naturally stretched, on the paper. For more accurate results, sit on a chair with your foot firmly on the floor, and your leg bent slightly forward so that your shin is slightly in front of your ankle. 3. With the pencil in an upright position and perpendicular to the paper, mark the back of your heel and the tip of your longest toe and then trace the outline of your foot. Remember to wear the socks that you’ll wear with your new shoes when you measure. 4. With the ruler, measure the tracing to determine your foot length and width. · To find your foot length, measure the distance between the two longest points on your tracing. Reduce this number by 5 mm, or 1/5 inch. The result is your foot length and the number that you will use to determine your shoe size. To convert inches to centimeters, multiply inches by 2.54. · To find your foot width, measure the widest points on your tracing. Reduce this number by 5 mm, or 1/5 inch. The result is the number you will use to determine your foot width. 5. Repeat these steps for your other foot, and use the larger of the two. 6. Once your measurements are done, click here and match it with the corresponding size. Now that you know your shoe size, it’s time to look for the right shoes to match your needs.
