How to measure your feet

Takes two minutes, and it's the most reliable way to get the right shoe size.

Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, wearing the socks you'll wear with the shoes.
Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure from the wall to the mark in centimetres.
Measure both feet and use the longer one. Measure in the late afternoon, when feet are at their largest.
Match your measurement to the foot-length column in the charts below. Between sizes? Choose the larger one.

Clothing: measure your chest or bust at the fullest part, keeping the tape level, and your waist at your natural waistline.

Footwear size charts

Match your foot length (in centimetres) to the chart. If you're between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Brand fit notes: footwear

How each footwear brand we stock fits, and what we'd advise.

Skechers

True to size

Sizes: UK / EU

True to size on most styles. Relaxed Fit and Wide Fit are roomier. Slip-ons and memory foam can feel snug at first, then ease.

Our adviceTake your usual size. Wider feet: choose Relaxed Fit or Wide Fit rather than sizing up.

adidas

True to size, slightly narrow

Sizes: UK / EU, including ⅓ sizes (e.g. 42⅔)

Generally true to size but cut slightly narrow. Some lifestyle styles (e.g. Samba, Gazelle) feel snug in the forefoot.

Our adviceTake your usual size. Wide feet or between sizes: go up half a size.

New Balance

True to size in length

True to size in length. Width is the bigger variable (see Width fittings above).

Our adviceTake your usual length and pick the width that suits.

Sizes: UK / EU

Lifestyle styles fit true to size. Slightly narrow through the midfoot.

Our adviceFor running, go up half a size, as most running retailers advise.

Dubarry

True to size

Junior sizes run 10 to 13.5, then restart at 1. Foot length is the measured foot, not the inside of the shoe; we allow growing room when fitting.

Leave room to growAim for about 1cm (a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Measure both feetMost children have one foot slightly bigger. Always fit to the larger foot.

Check width tooIf shoes pinch at the sides, try a wider fit rather than a bigger size.
