How To Measure Shoe Size

1. Take your best fitting pair of shoes.

2. Remove the insole from the shoe and stand up on the insole. Check that the insoles fit snuggly or note how narrow or loose they fit, so you can add extra width. Insoles should contact firmly the sides, front and back, the insole must be longer than the foot.

3. Measure the distance from toe to heel, find the measurements in the size chart and choose the right size.

4. If you are between the sizes, you need to round a number up.

5. Never forget that the foot must have a space in the shoes.

1Insole

The insole is the inside part of the shoe that runs underneath and supports the bottom of the foot.
