📐 Measurement Tips

  • Measure feet in the afternoon when they're largest
  • Stand with full weight on the foot being measured
  • Keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor

  • Not standing with full weight
  • Measuring only one foot
  • Using a curved tape measure

🦶 Width vs Length

  • You can have long narrow feet or short wide feet

  • Most shoes come in D width as standard
  • Width options vary significantly by brand
  • Custom fitting may be needed for extreme widths

👟 When Width Matters Most

  • Pregnancy-related foot swelling
  • Age-related foot changes
