How to Measure Your Shoe Size and Width at Home
- Measure your feet in the afternoon or evening because they expand after a day of walking and standing. Measuring in the morning may lead to buying shoes that are too small.
- Place your foot on a sheet of paper on the floor. Secure the paper with tape to prevent it from moving.
- 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.
