How to Measure Your Feet and Get the Right Shoes
Step 1
Wear socks. Place a piece of paper on the floor and stand on it. Make sure both feet are set on it.
Step 2
Get a pen and trace your right foot’s outline on the paper. It is imperative that you hold the pencil perpendicular to the paper. This will ensure accurate tracing.
Step 3
Make a straight line at the foot’s heel, the foot’s farthest edges and big toe.
Step 4
Get the tape measure and gauge the distance from the toe line to the heel. Take the measurement in inches to the closest 16th of an inch.
Step 5
To get the foot width, measure from each side’s line until you get to the other. It is imperative that you measure to the nearest 16th of an inch.
