How to measure

1.

Paper against wall

Place a sheet of paper flat on the floor against a wall. Stand on it with your heel touching the wall.

2.

Mark longest toe

With a pencil held straight, mark the tip of your longest toe on the paper.

3.

Measure the distance

Use a ruler to measure from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in centimeters. This is your foot length.

Frequently asked questions

Do dress shoes fit differently than sneakers?+

Yes. Dress shoes typically have a narrower last and less toe room than athletic shoes. Many men wear a half size larger in dress shoes than in sneakers. Breaking in leather dress shoes also affects the fit over time.

What is the difference between D and EE width?+

D is standard width for men\'s shoes. E is wide, EE is extra wide, and EEE is triple wide. If you have wide feet, look for brands that offer width options like New Balance, ASICS, and Brooks.

Are UK and US men\'s sizes the same?+

No. UK men\'s sizes are approximately 0.5 to 1 size smaller than US. A US 10 is roughly a UK 9.5. The difference comes from different starting points in the barleycorn system both countries use.

How should work boots fit?+

Work boots should have about a thumb\'s width of space between your longest toe and the front of the boot. Size up if you plan to wear thick socks. Steel-toe boots may require a half size up from your regular shoe size.

Do feet get bigger with age?+

Yes. Feet tend to spread and flatten with age due to gradual loss of arch support. Many men find they need a half size larger in their 40s and 50s compared to their 20s. Remeasuring every few years is worthwhile.
