Trouble getting the right shoe size?

Hey whats up people! I will be talking about shoes! Wanting to do online shipping for shoe but yet do not know the right size? DON'T WORRY! this is a solution for you!

Items you need:
  • a piece of paper larger than your foot
  • a pencil
  • tape
  • and a ruler or measuring tape
 Step 1





Tape the paper down to the floor.
 Step 2

 Trace Foot to Measure for Shoe Size

 Sit with your foot firmly on the floor, and your leg bent slightly forward so that your shin is slightly in front of your ankle.

Trace the outline of your foot and remember to measure your foot without shoes, but with socks similar to the ones you'll be wearing with the shoes you are buying.

Hold the pencil or pen upright and perpendicular to the paper. Do not hold it at an angle.

Make sure the pencil is resting snugly against your foot as you draw around it.

You may actually find it helpful to have someone else trace your foot, but as you can see in this image, it can be done alone.

 Step 3

Draw Lines to Measure for Shoe Size

Use your pencil to draw straight lines touching the outermost points at the top, bottom, and both sides of the outline.

Step 4

Measure Length of Foot for Shoe Size
Use your ruler or measuring tape to measure the length from the bottom line to the top line that you drew in step three.

Be sure to hold the measuring tape straight, and find the closest mark that you can (for inches, use the closest 16th mark) - don't round up or down dramatically.

Write this number down.

Step 5
Measure Width of Foot for Shoe Size


Many people will need a narrow or wide shoe. This step will help you to determine the width of your foot.

Measure the width of your foot by using your measuring tape or ruler to measure from the line on one side of your tracing, to the line on the other side.

Again, be certain to find the closest mark that you can (for inches, use the closest 16th mark).

Write this number down.

Step 6

Repeat these steps for your other foot, and use the larger of the two.

After you have your numbers written down, you'll want to subtract 3/16 of an inch from the numbers. This is to accommodate for the slight space between your actual foot and the line made by the pencil.

These final numbers are your actual foot measurements, you can convert them to the appropriate size and width using the links below.

Now YOU can go get a shoe online : D cheers everyone!
