Making sure that you are wearing the right size shoe is a basic for daily comfort. Shoes that are too small are one of the major causes of foot pain and problems. Shoes that are too large can cause blistering and a lack of stability. Also, just because you knew your shoe size a few years ago doesn't mean it is the same--feet, like people, change over time.

Measuring tips:

The best time to measure your feet with the following method is at the end of the day, when your feet are at their most swollen.

Wear the same style of socks that you plan to wear with your shoes.
Measure both feet and choose the shoe size that fits the bigger foot.
If you are alone, it is best to take the measurements while sitting. If someone else is helping you, then standing on your feet is best.
--For a more accurate measurement, use centimeters instead of inches. If need be, you can convert inches to centimeters by multiplying by 2.54.
--There are wide variations among shoe measurement systems and the fit may be quite different depending upon the brand and type of shoe you buy.
--With an exact toe to heel measurement, which some sellers provide, you are more likely to order the correct size.

How to Measure Your Feet:

1.Sitting or standing (see tip above), place one foot on a piece of paper. This may seem obvious, but make sure the sheet is bigger than your foot. You may want to tape the paper down to keep it from moving.

2.Holding a pencil as straight as possible, trace around your entire foot.

3.Using a ruler, measure your foot width and length.
Length: Measure the distance between the two longest points on your foot tracing. Now, reduce this measurement by 5 mm or 1/5 of an inch. This accounts for the slight space between your foot and the pencil.
Width: Measure the distance between the two widest points on your tracing, & also reduce this measurement by 5 mm or 1/5 of an inch. This number will help determine your foot width.

4.Using your measurements from step 3, refer to the following chart to determine your shoe size. Remember that sizes can vary significantly among different shoe types and brands.
