For the best result, measure your bare feet later in the day, as our feet tend to expand.

1. Use a pencil or ballpoint pen to trace both feet on a sheet of paper.
  • No pen and paper handy? Just stand on a ruler or measuring tape with your heel at the 0 point, and note the length to your longest toe.

  • 2. Measure the distance from your heel to the tip of your longest toe. If your feet are different lengths, use the longer one to determine your shoe size.
  • if between sizes, round up or down to the closest size within 2mm.

  • 3. For running shoes, it’s best to have about a thumb width of space between your longest toe and the tip of your shoe, so consider going a half size up from your measured size.
