You've been there. You finally get those shoes in the mail. The ones you've been anxiously waiting for, planning outfits with, the ones that would have been perfect last weekend. Then you slide your feet in to find they are either too big or so tight they go on like your high school jeans.
I know I know there was a size chart... Who has time to dig through their junk drawer, and where do you even measure? That's why we scoured the internet (googled a few things) to find an easy way to get your measurements right every time.
Step One: Trace your foot
Use a piece of white copy/printer paper
Do your best to keep your pencil at 90°
If you can, ask someone else to do it.
Step Two: Measure Foot Length & Width
Draw a line from the tip of your longest toe
To the farthest point of your heel.
Now draw a line from the widest sides of your feet.
Step Three: Measure your Tracing
Go to https://iruler.net/ and use their accurate online calculator.
No need to adjust, this ruler finds the size of your screen and adjusts for you!
Hold your paper with the traced foot against the screen and measure.
Step Four: Convert to inches & CM
Shoe charts typically come in two measurements, inches & centimeters.
It helps to know both of your measurements.
Visit unitconverters.net to get both measurements.
Voila! Your an online shoe buying machine and shoe sizing disappointments have become a distant memory.
Happy Shopping!
