1. Get ready
Remove your shoes and socks. Stand on a sheet of paper, putting your full weight on the foot you’re measuring. Hold the pencil vertically and carefully trace the outline of your foot.
2. Measure the foot length
Mark the tip of your longest toe and the center of your heel.
Measure the distance between these points — this is your foot length (see the black line in the diagram).
3. Measure the foot width
Find the widest part of your foot (around the ball area near the toes).
Measure the distance between these points — this is your foot width (see the white line in the diagram).
4. Tips for accuracy
Take the measurement while standing to account for natural foot expansion under weight.
Repeat the measurement twice and record the average result in centimeters.
