Measuring Your Feet for Accurate Shoe Sizing
While these charts are a great starting point, accurately measuring your feet is essential for the best shoe fit. Follow these steps to measure your foot length at home:
- Place a piece of paper on the floor against a wall.
- Stand on the paper with your heel against the wall.
- Mark the longest point of your foot on the paper. This is usually the tip of your big toe, but it could be another toe.
- Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in inches or centimeters.
- Compare your measurement to the inches/cm columns in our charts to find your corresponding US, UK, and European shoe size.
Remember to measure both feet, as one foot is often slightly larger than the other. Always use the measurement of your larger foot when choosing your shoe size.

FAQs and Essential Shoe Sizing Tips
What if I’m between shoe sizes?
It’s generally recommended to size up, especially for athletic or sports shoes like running shoes and hiking boots. Extra room allows for foot swelling during activity and prevents discomfort.
Does a 0.5 size difference matter?
Yes, it absolutely makes a difference! Shoes that are too small, even by just half a size, can lead to pain and injuries. Common issues include blisters, loss of toenails, and bunions, particularly for runners.
Is it normal to have one foot bigger than the other?
Yes, it’s very common. Always fit your shoe size to the larger foot. Buy shoe pairs in the size that accommodates your larger foot.
Should shoes fit tightly or loosely?
Shoes should be neither too tight nor too loose. A good rule of thumb is to have about a thumb’s width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. You should also be able to fit an index finger snugly between your heel and the back of the shoe. If there’s too little or too much space in either area, try a different size.
When is the best time to try on shoes?
For runners, it’s ideal to try on running shoes at the end of the day. Feet tend to swell throughout the day, especially after being on your feet or engaging in physical activity. Trying shoes on when your feet are at their largest helps ensure a comfortable fit even after long runs.
Will this shoe size chart guarantee a perfect fit?
While these charts are highly accurate, they are still a guide. Shoe sizes can vary slightly between brands and shoe types. For the most accurate fit, especially for specialized footwear like running shoes or hiking boots, consider visiting a specialty shoe store where trained fit experts can assist you.
