How to Measure Feet

How to Measure Feet

To properly measure and convert your big kid shoe size to a women’s size, you’ll need:

  • A pair of socks
  • A wall and hard-surfaced floor
  • A piece of paper that’s larger than your foot
  • A pencil or something to mark the length
  • Tape
  • Ruler

Step 1: Tape the paper to the floor with its shorter side lined up against the wall.

Step 2: Put on a pair of socks you plan to wear with your shoes. Then, stand on the paper with your back and ankles against the wall.

Step 3: Mark the longest part of both feet with a pencil.

Step 4: Use the ruler to measure each foot’s length (heel to toe) and width.

Tip: Once you have your measurements in inches follow this simple equation and round up for your correct womens' size US Womens' = (3 × inches) - 21.

Step 5: Use the below women’s and big kids’ shoe size chart to determine your correct size.
