How to Choose the Right Women Shoe Sizes
Measuring your feet at home is very handy when you are buying shoes online or for someone who can't go to the local store to purchase them.
The feet swell as the day progresses, so it is a good idea to measure them at the end of the day.
If you normally wear socks with your shoes, make sure you measure your feet with your socks on, doing this will help to ensure that your shoes are not too snug when you wear both your socks and shoes.
You don't need any fancy equipment to measure your feet. All you need is a piece of paper, a pencil, and a ruler.
How to Measure Your Feet
Length
- Place a piece of paper on a flat hard surface with the edge of the paper against the wall.
- Stand on the paper with your heel also against the wall.
- Mark on the paper with a pencil where your foot is at the longest point. If you can't bend over that far, you can have someone else do it for you.
- Repeat this process on the other foot as there might be a slight difference between the two and measure from the heel to the toe length for both feet.
Width
- To determine the width of your feet, repeat this process but this time measure the widest point of your foot.
UK Shoe Size to US Womens Sizes
The chart above tries to match women's size up as best as possible because there is no perfect way to convert US, EU, and UK sizes.
If you are in doubt as to what your size is, it is a good idea to always go for something larger - it could be half or whole size bigger to ensure that the shoe fits you properly.
This size chart is merely a guide and it is normal to have different sizes of feet.
When buying shoes it is not only the length of the shoe that should be considered, the width should be considered as well to make sure they fit properly.
Women's shoe style can sometimes vary so it is possible to find a size up or a size down that could fit you better for a particular shoe.
It is important you choose the right size of shoes as this is not only good for the health of the feet but also for comfort.
There is nothing worse than wearing a pair of shoes that pinch.
