How to measure

1.

Paper against wall

Place a sheet of paper flat on the floor against a wall. Stand on it with your heel touching the wall.

2.

Mark longest toe

With a pencil held straight, mark the tip of your longest toe on the paper.

3.

Measure the distance

Use a ruler to measure from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in centimeters. This is your foot length.

Frequently asked questions

Should I measure in centimeters or inches?+

Centimeters gives a more precise measurement with finer increments. However, either works. Our converter accepts both and converts automatically.

When is the best time to measure my feet?+

Measure in the afternoon or evening when your feet are at their largest. Feet swell throughout the day from standing and walking, so an evening measurement better represents the size your shoes need to accommodate.

Why are my two feet different sizes?+

This is normal. Most people have one foot slightly larger than the other, typically by 2-5mm. Always measure both feet and use the larger measurement when selecting a shoe size.

Does foot length account for width?+

No. Foot length determines your size number, but width is a separate measurement. If you have wide feet, you may need a wide (W) or extra-wide (EW) version of your standard size rather than sizing up.

How does foot length relate to the Mondopoint system?+

Mondopoint is essentially foot length in millimeters, plus width. It is the most precise sizing system and is used internationally for military and safety footwear. Japanese shoe sizes are very close to Mondopoint, as they also use centimeters directly.
