How to Measure Your Shoe Size and Width at Home
- Measure your feet in the afternoon or evening, as they tend to expand throughout the day from walking and standing. Measuring in the morning can result in choosing shoes that end up too tight.
- To measure, place your foot on a sheet of paper laid flat on the floor. Use tape to secure the paper so it doesn’t shift while you trace.
- Use a pen to draw the outline of your foot. Make sure the pen is straight up, perpendicular to the paper.
- Find the longest point from your heel to your longest toe and measure this distance.
- Use this measurement with a shoe size chart or calculator to find your correct shoe size.
- Tip: If shoes often feel tight, measure both feet and use the measurement of the larger foot for shoe shopping. If there’s a big difference between your feet’s sizes, consider custom shoes or insoles.
