How to measure your shoe size at home

A nostalgic childhood memory for many, measuring your feet is just as important as an adult - although granted, your measurements shouldn’t change quite as often! Understanding how to measure your feet at home will make buying the right size shoes much easier. The wrong shoe size can damage your feet over time, so it’s essential you get it right.

Here at Wynsors we understand the importance of comfort, so follow this helpful step-by-step guide to learn how to calculate your foot size and make sure your next pair of shoes are the perfect fit.

HOW TO MEASURE FEET

You’ll be happy to hear that it’s quick and easy to measure your foot size at home! All you need are:

2 pieces of paper

A pen or a pencil

A ruler

Once you’ve collected the correct equipment, follow the simple steps below and you’ll be measuring your feet correctly in no time:

STEP 1: TRACE YOUR FOOT 

To start with, put a piece of paper on a flat surface - we recommend the floor! Take off your shoes and socks and place your foot in the middle of the piece of paper, then take your pen or pencil and trace around the outside of your foot.

STEP 2: MEASURE FOOT LENGTH & WIDTH

Once you have the outline of your foot, measure the length between the highest point and the back of your foot. The highest point is usually the top of your big toe, but this can differ dependent on your foot shape.

STEP 3: CONVERT 

After repeating the measurement steps for each foot, use our size conversion charts below to calculate how your measurements convert into standard UK sizes. If you fall between sizes or have one foot bigger than the other (which is very common!), we always recommend sizing up. If you do fall into this category, then check out our tips for improving the fit of your shoes.
