- Place the bare foot on a piece of paper and trace the outline of the foot with a pencil. Make sure the pencil is perpendicular to the paper while drawing.
- Measure the distance between the longest toe and the heel of the foot with a ruler. This gives the length of the foot.
- Also measure the width of the foot by measuring the circumference at the widest point of the foot.
- Use the length and width measurements to determine the correct shoe size using a size chart.

Calculate European Shoe Size
European shoe sizes often consist only of whole numbers. This is because the sizes are based on centimeters and because a centimeter is smaller than an Inch, the size will by definition already be more precise. Originally, the way to calculate EU shoe sizes was developed a few hundred years ago in France, the French shoe size, and goes as follows:
EU shoe size = (Length of the foot in cm + 1.5) x 1.5
So if your foot is, for example, 24 centimeters long, the calculation would be: (24 + 1.5) x 1.5 = 38.25. In this case, you would round to the nearest whole size, in this case 38.
Please note: Although this formula is often used, the result may vary based on the specific shoe size chart used by different brands or countries. It is always advisable to consult the size chart of the specific manufacturer for the most accurate conversion.
