Measure a foot at home

  1. Print this page in landscape at 100% / Actual Size with “fit to page” turned off.
  2. Check that the highlighted calibration segment measures exactly 10 cm. If it does not, do not use the ruler.
  3. Stand with heel at zero, measure the longest toe, and repeat both feet while wearing usual socks.
  4. Use the larger measurement with the brand’s current size chart. Foot length is not the same as shoe size.
