HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FEET

The reliable fitting of footwear depends on the provision of accurate sizing and width measurements. The majority of our customers, who know their shoe size, simply quote this when placing their order. However, if you are unsure of your size, please follow the guidelines detailed below. If you have previously provided this information we will already hold your details on file, and we will refer to this when you place your order.

1. Measuring Your Shoe Size

The best way to find your shoe size is to measure the length of your foot. If your feet are different lengths, please provide the measurement of your longer foot. To measure the length of your foot, take a blank sheet of paper and place this against a wall. Then position your foot on the paper ensuring your heel is against the wall. Please remember to place your weight firmly on your foot when taking the measurement and to wear a pair of socks of the thickness likely to be worn with your footwear. The length of your foot is the measurement shown at the longest point of your foot, wherever this might be. Please record this measurement in sixteenths of an inch.

To find your shoe size, in the table below, look down the left hand column until you find the measurement which corresponds with your foot length, then look across to column 2 to find your shoe size.

2. Measuring Your Shoe Fitting

Begin by measuring the circumference of your foot at its widest point, which is around the front joint. To do this accurately, use a tape measure, making sure that you wear a pair of socks similar to those to be worn with the shoes, and that the tape measure is not held too tightly. Record this measurement to the nearest eighth of an inch. To arrive at your shoe fitting, look at column 1 in the table below, locate your shoe size (already calculated at 1. above), then look across until you see the measurement corresponding to that just calculated for your joint. If your measurement falls between the two figures in adjacent columns, select the column to the right. Your shoe fitting can then be found by looking down to the box at the foot of the same column. When quoting your fitting, it is advisable to quote the relevant letter eg D/E/F/G/H. The narrative eg ‘Narrow’, ‘Extra-Wide’ is included merely by way of explanation.
