HOW TO MEASURE

Follow these six steps.

Take your time, measure both feet, and refer to the diagram above for the exact measurement points.

  1. 1

    Prepare your supplies.

    You'll need paper, a pencil, a flexible tape measure, and socks you plan to wear with your shoes.

  2. 2

    Stand and trace your feet.

    Place paper on a hard floor, stand naturally, and trace the outline of each foot.

  3. 3

    Measure length and width.

    Using the top view, measure the length (A) and widest part (B) of each foot.

  4. 4

    Take the four girths.

    Using a flexible tape, measure the forefoot, midfoot, instep, and ankle at C–F.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the other foot.

    Measure both left and right feet, as they often differ. Record each separately.

  6. 6

    Include fit concerns.

    Tell us about high insteps, wide forefeet, bunions, or any other fit notes in the form below.

A Few Things to Know

Foot Measurement Questions.

Should I measure both feet?

Yes. Record both feet separately. If one is slightly longer or wider, include that difference when discussing fit rather than sending only one number.

Should I wear socks while measuring?

Use the type of socks you normally wear with the shoes you are buying and keep the same approach for both feet.

Is my foot measurement the same as my shoe size?

No. Foot measurements inform the fit discussion, but the shoe's last, toe geometry, offered width and construction also affect how it feels. Consult our Sizing & Fit guide before selecting a product configuration.

Can I send measurements for an upcoming event?

Yes. If timing matters, include your event date when you contact us. We can discuss fit and production feasibility before you place an order.
