How to Measure to Determine Women's Correct Shoe Sizes

Above all, we advise always having a detail-oriented friend to help you carefully take measurements to ensure accuracy. With the measurements, you can check our sizing chart on the item's product page or the image gallery to determine the correct size.

Step 1: Gather the right tools

Before measuring to determine your correct shoe size, you'll need the right tools. These include a measuring tape, a ruler, or a Brannock device. If you don't have a measuring tape or ruler, you can print out a shoe sizing chart readily available on the item's product page or in the image gallery.

Step 2: Measure your feet

The next step is to measure your feet. Stand on a flat surface with your heel against a wall. Place a ruler or measuring tape on the ground and measure from the heel to the longest toe on your foot. Measure both feet and use the larger measurement as your shoe size. It's important to note that your feet can change in size due to weight gain or pregnancy, so it's always best to measure your feet each time you purchase new shoes.

Step 3: Find your size on a chart

Once you have the measurements for your feet, you can use our shoe sizing chart to determine your shoe size. It's important to note that shoe sizes can vary depending on the brand or type of shoe.

Step 4: Consider the width

In addition to length, shoe width is essential in determining a good fit. Shoes come in various widths, including narrow, medium, and comprehensive. To determine your shoe width, measure the widest part of your foot. A shoe that is too narrow or too wide can cause discomfort and even lead to foot problems. Hence, it's essential to choose the shoes that fit correctly.

Step 5: Know your shoe style

Different shoe styles require extra measurements. For example, running shoes may require a slightly larger size to accommodate movement and impact during exercise. On the other hand, high-heel pumps may need a smaller size to avoid slippage and discomfort.
