How to measure your foot size at home
All you need is paper, a pen and a ruler. Your foot length in centimetres is the one measurement every brand shares.
Step by step
1. Put paper on a hard floor against a wall. Stand with your heel to the wall.
2. Mark the tip of your longest toe. Measure from the wall edge to the mark in cm.
3. Match the length to a size chart. Measure width too at the widest part if needed.
Measure both feet and use the larger. Measure at the end of the day when feet are largest, in the socks you'd wear.
