How to measure your feet in 4 easy steps:

1. Find a hard, flat surface.
2. Stand barefoot on a piece of paper, drawing the shape of your foot accurately with a pencil at 90 degrees (you may wish to draw both feet as each foot may slightly differ in size).
3. With a ruler measure each foot from the heel to the end of the longest toe as accurately as possible. For foot width, measure the widest part of your foot.
4. If you drew both feet and the dimensions differ slightly, choose the measurements of the bigger foot.

Top shoe fitting tips:

• Measure your feet at the end of the day as they swell a little after all day walking.
• Measure your feet bare unless measuring for sport footwear where you wear socks.
• Most of us have one larger foot than the other, so fit your shoe to your larger foot.
• Pointed toe shoes have less room and may feel smaller.
• Select a size that allows for minimal slipping when walking.
• Don't buy shoes that feel too tight and expect them to stretch to fit.
• Try your new shoes at home on a carpeted surface to make sure they feel comfortable.
• Block heels are generally more stable and comfortable to wear than stiletto heels.
• If you are looking to add a little bit of hight but value comfort, try kitten heels.
• Invest in shoes made from breathable material, like leather. This helps air to get in and out of your shoes and prevents overheating and skin irritation as well as ensures comfort and durability of your shoes.
