How to use it
- Stand on a sheet of paper and mark your heel and longest toe.
- Measure the distance in centimeters or inches and enter it.
- Read the estimated sizes. Try shoes on when you can, as brands vary.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the result an estimate?
Shoe sizes are based on the shoe last, not the foot, and each brand adds its own allowance. Expect up to a half-size difference.
Which formula is used?
A typical 1.5 cm toe allowance is added to the foot length. EU size is 1.5 × that length in cm; UK and US sizes use the barleycorn (⅓ inch) scale.
Should I measure both feet?
Yes, in the evening when feet are slightly larger, and use the longer foot.
