Getting the right shoe size isn’t just useful info—it’s vital for your comfort, especially when shopping for different brands in South Africa.

Knowing your exact shoe size can solve a problem you may not even know you have: uncomfortable footwear. Surprisingly, 72% of people wear shoes that aren’t the right fit, causing discomfort or even pain.

If you’ve been feeling uneasy in your shoes, there’s a good chance they aren’t the right size. Let’s dive into a step-by-step guide to measure your foot size accurately.

We’ll cover shoe size charts for both men and women, so you can avoid the pain of breaking in new shoes.

Measuring Your Shoe Size at Home

You’ll need two key measurements to find your shoe size: foot length and width. Grab a flat ruler and find a wall for this simple exercise. Make sure to measure both feet, as they might not be identical in size.

If one foot is noticeably larger, go for the bigger size. Some stores like Nordstrom even offer a service that lets you buy shoes in two different sizes if there’s a big enough difference in dimensions.

Measuring the Length of Your Foot

Here’s how to gauge the length of your foot:

Step 1: Lay the ruler flat on the floor with the zero mark against the wall.

Step 2: Stand so your heel touches the wall, keeping your toes straight. Make sure your heel lightly rests against the wall without pressing too hard.

Step 3: Measure the distance from the wall, or the base of your heel, to the tip of your longest toe. If your feet are longer than 12 inches, you’ll need a longer measuring tape.

Step 4: Write down the measurement.

Measuring the Width of Your Foot

Once you’ve got the length, it’s time to tackle width:

Step 1: Lay the ruler horizontally on the floor in front of you.

Step 2: Step on the ruler at the widest part of your foot, usually the ball of your foot.

Step 3: Measure the distance from one side of your foot to the other in inches.

Step 4: Jot down this figure.
