The Right Shoe Project

Shoes are made in many factories around the world and even models within the same brand can be quite different. To assist our customers in choosing the right size, we measure every shoe we receive. And on top of that, customers give us feedback as well. All this information is compiled so you can shop with confidence as we're able to provide a recommendation of your size in each model. 

How do I measure my foot?

Firstly, ensure that you always take your measurements standing, and if possible at the end of the day. This will ensure that the maximum size of your foot is measured, and you don't end up with shoes that are too tight after a long days trek!

Secondly, take your largest foot and place your heel against a wall. Use a tape measure or ruler to measure the distance from the back of your heel to your longest toe. See the diagram below.

If you don't feel you can get an accurate measurement by yourself, enlist the help of a friend! Remember, these are shoes that you will be wearing for a long time, through thick and thin, so you want to make sure you get the best fit possible. For best accuracy, measure your foot multiple times and take the average of the lengths found.

What fit am I?

Everyone has a different preferred fit when it comes to shoes, so it's always good to bare this in mind when choosing a size! When calculating your foot length, decide how snug of a fit you tend to gravitate towards and add on length according to the corresponding measurements - 1 cm (tight), 1.5 cm (standard), and 2 cm (loose) - to account for additional room between the end of the toes and the end of the inside of the shoe.

Please note that this only accounts for length and not width. Width doesn't have a standardised number measurement for each shoe and size, however a lot of shoes will have a Standard and a Wide version. In Womens sizes, a Standard fit will be represented as a B and a Wide fit as D. In Mens sizes, a Standard fit will be represented with a D, a Wide fit as 2E, and an Extra Wide fit as 4E.
