How to Measure Your Feet for Shoes

Mark Stephan

Gather the tools you will need

1

You will need a measuring stick or tape measure, a piece of paper, and a pen.

Stand Straight on the Paper

2

Place your foot steadily on the paper. You can sit, stand, or squat as you do this.

Measure the Width

3

Measure your foot’s width by measuring the distance between the right and left sides of the outline you traced. Write down this figure.

Measure the Length

4

Mark your foot’s length and width on the paper. To do this, take the marker and draw a straight line that touches each edge of the outline you traced.

Measure both feet

5

Since one foot is typically a little broader or longer compared to the other foot, it is vital you meticulously measure both feet.

Measure in the evening

TIP
