Measure your feet
Wear the type of socks you'll wear with your shoes and measure feet in the afternoon (feet typically swell during the day). Distribute weight evenly before measuring.

Place a piece of paper on a hard floor with one end to the wall. Stand on the piece of paper with the heel slightly touching the wall.

Mark the end of your longest toe with a pencil for both feet.

Take the larger of the two foot length values and compare it with our sizing chart, to define your shoe size.
