How to Measure Your Feet
Measuring your feet correctly is the best way to get an accurate shoe size. Follow the steps below and use our printable sheet and converter to find your size in US, UK, EU, and more.
Where to measure
Measure foot length from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe (usually the big toe). Use the diagram below as a reference.
Step-by-step instructions
- Place a piece of paper on a hard, flat floor with one end against a wall.
- Stand on the paper with your heel touching the wall. Weight should be even.
- Mark the paper at the tip of your longest toe (use a pencil held vertically).
- Measure from the wall to the mark in centimeters. Use a ruler or our printable sheet.
- Repeat for the other foot. Use the larger measurement for shoe size.
- Convert your measurement using our Shoe Size Converter or CM to US Shoe Size tool.
