Find Your Shoe Size - Step by Step Guide to Measuring Your Feet


All you need to get your proper foot measurement at home is: a piece of paper larger than your foot a pencil tape and a ruler or measuring tape. Tape the paper down to the floor.



Sit with your foot firmly on the floor, and your leg bent slightly forward so that your shin is slightly in front of your ankle. Trace the outline of your foot and remember to measure your foot without shoes, but with socks similar to the ones you'll be wearing with the shoes you are buying. Hold the pencil or pen upright and perpendicular to the paper. Do not hold it at an angle. Make sure the pencil is resting snugly against your foot as you draw around it. You may actually find it helpful to have someone else trace your foot, but as you can see in this image, it can be done alone.


Use your pencil to draw straight lines touching the outermost points at the top, bottom, and both sides of the outline



Use your ruler or measuring tape to measure the length from the bottom line to the top line that you drew in step three. Be sure to hold the measuring tape straight, and find the closest mark that you can (for inches, use the closest 16th mark) - don't round up or down dramatically. Write this number down
