How To Measure Foot Length & Width
Measuring your feet is one important step that you should never skip. It sounds straightforward that most people already know their shoe sizes, but a lot of people don’t actually know their foot measurements and this comes in handy, especially when it comes to buying shoes online where you cannot try them on like you would in a store.
So, in this section, we’re going to go over a quick and simple way to measure your foot, and unless you have a Brannock Device, this will be the easiest way for you to measure yourself for shoes.

What you’ll need:
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of foot measurement, you will need a couple of everyday household items. You will need a ruler or measuring tape for the measurement itself. Either/or will work for this.
You’ll need a few pieces of paper, and I say a few just in case you mess up and need to start over. Printer paper works best.
You will also need a pen, pencil, or marker to mark your measurement point.
Let’s get started…
The method I use is the “wall technique”. There are other techniques out there like tracing your entire foot, but I prefer this method. The results will be the same for either technique.
Step 1:
Find a flat surface to work on, preferably against a wall. This will provide stability and ensure accurate measurements. Clear any clutter to create a comfortable space where you can focus on your feet.
Place the piece of paper vertically on the wall and step on it with your heel slightly touching the wall behind you. Make sure your weight is evenly distributed.
Step 2:
Next, grab your pen or pencil and carefully mark on the piece of paper where your longest toe ends at. If you have trouble bending over, you may want to ask someone to mark it for you or just try your best and mark it as close as possible.
Make sure to keep the pen perpendicular to the paper for precise results.
Step 3:
Now, measure the length of your foot from the tip of your longest toe to the back of your heel. I recommend using centimeters since most sizing charts will use that as their unit of measurement and it’s also more precise.
Don’t forget to record the measurements somewhere and also which foot you measured.
Step 4:
Repeat the same steps (step 3 and 4) for the opposite foot.
Step 5:
If you are interested in measuring the width of your foot for custom shoes or if you are wide-footed, this technique will be the same.
Now, measure the width of the widest part of your foot. First, start by placing the piece of paper horizontally on the wall and step on it with the side of your foot against the wall.
Next, mark on the piece of paper where the widest part of your foot ends then measure from the edge of the paper to the marking. Record the measurements and repeat these steps for the opposite foot as well.

| Width | Women | Men | Kids |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narrow | N, 2A | N, 2B | ─ |
| Standard | M, B | M, D | M |
| Wide | W, D | W, 2E | W |
| Extra-Wide | XW, 2E | XW, 4E | XW |
| Extra-extra-wide | XXW, 4E | XXW, 6E | ─ |
| Wide calf | WC | ─ | ─ |
| Extra-wide calf | XWC | ─ | ─ |
| Wide width, wide calf | W WC | ─ | ─ |
| Wide width, extra-wide calf | W XWC | ─ | ─ |
Again, jot down this measurement for both feet.
That’s pretty much it. That’s how you measure yourself for shoes. It’s a simple and easy technique that almost anyone can do.
Your measurements may not be super exact, but it should be close enough to give you a general idea of what your shoe size actually is.
Most shoe brands provide size charts that correlate with foot measurements. Use these measurements and compare them to the shoe company’s sizing chart where you plan on getting your shoes at.
Knowing your foot measurements will always ensure you end up choosing the correct size when buying a new pair of kicks.
Once you’ve narrowed down your options, and especially if you have the chance to try on shoes in-store, try on different styles and sizes to see how they feel. Pay attention to how the shoes hug your feet and whether there are any pressure points or areas of discomfort. Don’t hesitate to go up or down a size if needed.
