How to Choose The Right Shoe Size for Men
- Measuring your feet at home is an easy thing to do, as you will only need things that you already have at home.
Things like paper, pencil, ruler, and chair are all that is required to have your feet measured. - Sit on the chair with your feet firmly on the ground. If you are going to be wearing socks with your shoes ensure you put them on while measuring your feet, this will allow you to buy shoes that will accommodate the socks.
- Trace around the outline of your foot with a pencil and make sure the pencil is upright and measure from the end of the drawing to the longest point.
- The width of your feet can also be measured from the same drawing you just need to measure from the two widest points on your foot.
- Make sure you measure both feet because they are usually slightly different in sizes.
Men's Sizing Chart
The US, UK, and EU all have different sizes so always remember this when buying your shoes.
Men and women sizes are not the same - a woman's size 6 might not fit a man's 6 so it is a good idea to always measure and consult with the appropriate guide to make sure you are buying the best fit for you.
Again, it is important to know that shoe sizes vary slightly from brand to brand so if you are switching brands make sure you try a new pair of shoes on.
Selecting a Shoe Size
If after measuring your feet you discover that the result is between sizes, it is always best to buy a size up.
This will ensure that the shoes you buy are not too tight and uncomfortable.
Also, if you are converting a shoe size from the US to the UK size it is also recommended you buy a size up.
This can also be applied to different styles of shoes as well. For instance, a size 12 in an athletic shoe won't necessarily be the same as a size 12 in a men's brogue.
This is because the materials and shape of the shoe can affect the way the foot fits inside the shoe.
Wearing a narrow shoe will cause more harm to your foot than wearing a shoe that is a little bigger. Shoes that are tight can cause foot problems like blisters, bunions, corns, and calluses.
This can be prevented by paying the right attention to the health of your feet.
Remembering all of these helpful tips and measuring your feet correctly will help you to buy a pair of shoes that you will enjoy wearing.
