Why is this important?

Every shoe manufacturer uses different lasts in terms of instep height, toe shape and foot width. However, the basis for finding your own shoe size is always the length of your feet. Thus, you should always determine your foot length before buying in order to choose the right shoe.

Step 1: tracing your feet

Take off your socks, place a piece of paper against a wall, and place your foot on it so that your heel touches the wall. Now use a pen to trace the shape of the foot on the front of the toes. Hold the pen exactly upright.

Important: Both feet must be measured, as they are often of different lengths! Feet often swell during the day, which is why we recommend taking the measurement in the late afternoon.

Step 2: measure and add

Now you can measure the edge of the paper from where the heel was to the longest toe and determine the length of your foot. Use your longer foot as a guidance. You get the required inner length of the shoe by adding an extra of 0.4 inch to your foot length.

Step 3: Look it up in the shoe size table

Our shoe size table helps you convert your own foot measurements into manufacturer sizes in order to make the right choice.
