How to measure your foot and find its size & widt

20090214104033849You can accurately determine your foot size and width using these simple instructions and the size and width tables below. The results will be the same as if your foot was measured with the familiar Brannock Device used in shoe(Nike shoes) stores. You’ll need :

  1. A chair
  2. A sheet of paper on which to trace an outline of your foot
  3. A pen or pencil
  4. A measuring tape or ruler
  5. Socks of the type you intend to wear with the boots

Before starting, you should wade through the long dissertation on sizing and socks above so you’ll know what type of sock to wear. You also should consider the following points about feet.

  • Feet swell a bit and get larger as the day passes. So you should measure later in the the day.
  • As people pass through their middle forties into their fifties, their feet get larger. You can expect to gain a half to a full size during this period.
  • Left and right feet often differ slightly in size. Measure both feet and use the measurement for the larger foot. If the difference is over a half size, consider ordering custom fitted boots so that each foot can be accommodated with a boot of the correct size.

Follow these steps for each foot. It is easier to have someone else do the tracing of the foot.

  1. Measure the length and width of the tracing at the points shown in the diagram below.
  2. The tracing will be slightly larger than your feet because of the thickness of the pencil. Subtract 0.2 Inches ( 5 mm ) from each measurement to compensate for the thickness of the pen or pencil. This correction gives you the actual length and width of your foot.Nike Air Max TN10-3" src="http://www.nike4sales.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Nike-Air-Max-TN10-31-150x150.jpg" alt="Nike Air Max TN10-3" width="150" height="150" />So, if the tracing of your foot measures 10.5 inches long, you subtract 0.2 inches (.5 mm) to get the actual length of your foot which is 10.3 inches which is about U.S. men’s size 9.

    Note that you can place your foot between two flat, solid objects such as bricks then measure the length and width between the bricks. In this case you get the actual length and width immediately and do not need to subtract anything to compensate for the pencil thickness.

  3. Enter the Boot Size Chart with your corrected length measurement and find the USA Men’s size.
  4. Enter the Boot Width Chart with the USA Men’s size and find the closest match to your corrected width measurement on that row. The column gives the USA width measurement. The Boot Width chart is in Inches. To convert from centimeters to inches, divide by 2.54.
