How to measure your foot length
To make sure you get the perfect fit for your shoes, always start with accurately measuring your foot length. Follow these step-by-step instructions to get the most precise measurement possible.
Materials Needed:
– A piece of paper
– A hard, flat surface
– A pen or pencil
– A ruler or measuring tape
– A friend or partner for assistance (optional but recommended)
Step 1: Prepare the Surface
Begin by securing a piece of paper to a hard, flat surface. Make sure the paper is firmly in place to prevent any slipping or shifting during the measurement process.
Step 2: Position Yourself Correctly
Stand on the paper with your feet shoulder-width apart. Ensure your weight is evenly distributed between both feet, as this will help achieve an accurate measurement. It’s essential to have only one foot on the paper at a time for precise results.
Step 3: Mark the Points
With a pen or pencil held perpendicular to the paper, have your friend or partner assist you in marking two points on the paper: the tip of your big toe and the outermost part of your heel. These marks should be made directly on the paper while you maintain a natural stance.
Step 4: Record the Measurements
Once the marks are accurately placed, carefully step off the paper. Use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the distance between the two points marked on the paper. This measurement represents the length of your foot.
Step 5: Repeat for Accuracy
Repeat the entire process for the other foot. It’s common for one foot to be slightly longer than the other, so it’s crucial to measure both feet individually for the most accurate sizing.
Step 6: Determine the Correct Size
Compare the measurements of both feet and identify the longer measurement. Refer to our size chart to find the corresponding shoe size based on the recorded foot length. If your measurement falls between two sizes, we recommend sizing up for optimal comfort and fit.
Additional Tips:
– Measure your feet in the evening when they’re at their largest due to natural swelling.
– Wear the socks you intend to wear with the shoes for a more accurate measurement.
– Stand straight and avoid curling your toes during the measurement process to ensure precision.

Nike Air Force 1 Sizing FAQs
Is Nike Air Force 1 true to size?
Nike Air Force 1 shoes tend to run large, primarily because of their spacious toe box, which offers a more relaxed feel. For the best fit, it’s advisable to opt for a half-size smaller than your regular Nike shoe size. However, if you have wider feet, you can stick to your standard Nike size as you won’t need to size down. Don’t forget that the Air Force 1s become even more accommodating as they’re broken in.
Should I size up or down in Air Force 1?
From personal experience and discussions with fellow sneaker enthusiasts, it’s widely acknowledged that the Nike Air Force 1, whether in its low, mid, or high-top iterations, tends to run about half a size larger than other Nike models. Drawing from my own insights and conversations within the sneaker community, I recommend sizing down by half a size from your usual Nike shoe size to achieve the ideal fit with the Air Force 1. For instance, if you typically wear a 9.5 in other Nike styles, getting a 9 in the Air Force 1 would likely offer a more comfortable and secure fit.
Do Air Force 1 run small?
The Air Force 1 has a reputation for running larger than expected, and while we’re not exactly sure why, it’s just one of those quirks of the shoe. So, when you’re picking out your AF1s, go a half size smaller than what you usually wear.
Do Dunks fit the same as Af1?
The Air Force 1s tend to run on the larger size, so for most people, I’d recommend going a half size down, meaning if you are a true size 10, get a size 9.5. If you have really wide feet, then you might want to consider sticking true to size, but for most people, again, half size down should be good. On the other hand, the Nike Dunks fit great, so I’d recommend sticking true to size. Here’s a cool comparison of the AF1 and Dunks.
Are women’s Air Forces the same as men’s?
Women’s Air Forces run differently from men’s sizes. To find your equivalent in men’s, just go up by one and a half sizes. So, if you’re a men’s 8.5, get a women’s 10. If you’re a men’s 9.5, grab a women’s 11.
Are Air Force One unisex?
Yes, Air Force 1s are considered unisex. While they may come in men’s and women’s sizing, the design and construction of the shoe are suitable for anyone, regardless of gender. Just remember to go up by one and a half sizes if you are a man and want to grab a women’s Air Force 1.
Is there a difference between Air Force 1 womens and kids?
While the basic silhouette and overall design of the Air Force 1 remain consistent across women’s and kids’ versions, there are differences between Air Force 1 women’s and kids’ sizes. Women’s Air Force 1s often incorporate premium materials and detailing. Air Force 1 kids’ offer features such as Velcro straps or slip-on designs for easy on and off.
