How to Choose the Right Shoe Size？

It is important to choose the right shoe size for your feet. If we wear shoes that do not fit properly or do not provide enough support, it can lead to various foot problems such as blisters, calluses and corns. The wrong shoe size will not only cause discomfort in our feet, but may also cause pain in other parts of the body. The right shoe can help keep your feet healthy and your body safe from injury, let me provide you with some tips here in this blog.

The size conversion method varies from country to country, and the shoe sizes produced by different manufacturers may also vary slightly. The specific shoe size also requires measuring the length and width of your feet to get the exact size.

Shoe Size Conversion Method

The calculation method of shoe size is different for men, women, and children. In the United States and Canada, the traditional system is similar to the British but there are different zero points for children’s, men’s, and women’s shoe sizes.

Female Shoe Size (barleycorns) = 3 × last length (in) − 23. Equivalent to: Female Shoe Size (barleycorns) ≈ 3 × foot length (in) − 21.

Male Shoe Size (barleycorns) = 3 × last length (in) − 24. Equivalent to: Male Shoe Size (barleycorns) ≈ 3 × foot length (in) − 22.

Child Shoe Size (barleycorns) = 3 × last length (in) − 113⁄4. Equivalent to: Child Shoe Size (barleycorns) ≈ 3 × foot length (in) − 93⁄4.

How to Measure Your Foot？

When determining shoe size, you only need to take two measurements: foot length and foot width. To do this, you just need a ruler. We recommend measuring both feet, as one foot may be larger than the other. If the difference is noticeable, buy the larger size.

Best Time to Measure Your Feet

It is best to measure the size of your feet in the afternoon or evening. This is because during the day’s activities, the feet will expand slightly due to walking and standing, and the size of the feet will reach its maximum in the afternoon or evening. If you measure the size of your feet in the morning, you may get a smaller result, which may cause the shoes you buy to be uncomfortable.

Measuring Foot Length

Let’s start by measuring foot length.

Step 1: Lay a ruler on the ground, vertically in front of you.

Step 2: Measure from the heel to the tip of your longest toe.

Measuring Foot Width

Once you’ve measured foot length, it’s time to measure foot width. You’ll want to measure the widest part of your foot to make sure you’re the right size.

Step 1: Lay a ruler on the ground, horizontally in front of you.

Step 2: Step onto the ruler with the widest part of your feet.

Step 3: Measure the distance from one side of your foot to the other.

Consider Foot Shape and Special Needs

In addition to foot size, foot shape is also a factor to consider when choosing the right shoe. You can identify foot shape by looking at your foot vertically from above or from below. We have specifically listed four foot shapes and the shoe shapes they require.

• Normal foot – normal heel leading to normal front
• Narrow foot – narrow heel and narrow front
• Fat foot – wide heel and wide front
• Flipper foot – narrow/normal heel leading to wide front, characterized by scalloped toes.

Tips For Trying On Shoes

• We mentioned earlier that our feet swell throughout the day, usually the most in the afternoon or evening, so trying on shoes at this time can ensure that the shoes will fit comfortably at all times of the day.
• Always try on BOTH shoes. Most people have a slightly different size on one foot than the other. Obviously, the larger of the two feet will determine the actual size you purchase.
• There should be a little space between the heel and the heel of the shoe. Too much space is not good, but the heel should not rub or press into your skin.
• The space in the head of the shoe should allow you to move your toes freely. Shoes that overly restrict or squeeze your toes can quickly make you miserable and lead to pain and more serious problems later.

Advice for Online Shoe Shopping

• Visit the shoe store’s website to check for shoe sizing guidelines.
• Read reviews to see if there are any reviews for shoe sizing from other buyers.
• Check return policies if needed, and ensure there is a good return policy.
