How to measure foot size

Measuring Your Foot for Shoes

 

What you’ll need to measure your foot size:

  • pencil or pen
  • piece of paper (at least the size of your foot).
  • a ruler or measuring tape that has millimeters. Inches won’t work.
  • a helper (if possible).

 

 

How to measure:

  • Place the piece of paper on the floor and sit down in a chair with your foot resting on the piece of paper. Do not push down with your foot or place your body weight on the foot, just let it rest squarely on the piece of paper.
  • Have your helper trace the outline of your foot. (Don’t bend over to see what they are doing!)
  • Trace the outline of the foot.
  • Measure the length of the foot from heel to tip of the big toe, in millimeters.
  • Measure of the width of the foot across the widest part of the foot, in millimeters.
  • Consult the chart below.
  • The numbers shown are the largest measure that can wear any given size shoe.  For example: Your foot is 236mm in length and 96mm wide, you would  wear a women’s 7.5 (men’s 5.5) extra-wide EE/EEE.

 

Be sure to measure in millimeters.  Measurements in inches are to inaccurate.

Here’s a shoe width chart that helps determine your foot width. Foot width is measured as AA, A, B, C or D and E, EE, EEE, or 4E. The smallest foot width size is AA and the largest or widest is 4E or extra wide.
