Like regular street shoes, athletic shoe sizing is based on the
length and width of your foot. Determining your proper shoe size
is essential to a comfortable fit.

Fit tips
- Shoes that are too small are one of the major causes of foot
pain and problems
- Shoes that are too large can cause blistering and a lack of
stability
- Don't assume your shoe size is the same as it always has been.
The shape of your feet changes over time.
Measurement tips
- Take your measurements at the end of the day, when your feet
are the largest
- Wear the socks you'll wear with your new shoes when you measure
- Measure both feet and fit shoes to the larger foot
- If you are doing the measurement by yourself, you will get more
accurate results if you sit in a chair when measuring. Don't stand.
- If you have someone to help you take your foot measurement,
standing is the best choice
- You may take measurements in inches or centimeters. To convert
inches to centimeters, multiply inches by 2.54.
How to measure your foot
- While seated, place your foot on a piece of paper in
front of you
- With a pencil, trace around your foot. Hold the pencil
as straight up-and-down as possible while measuring and be sure
that your pencil remains in constant contact with your foot during
this process.
- With a ruler, measure your tracing to determine your
foot length and width
- Foot length
- To find your foot length, measure the distance between the
two longest points on your tracing. Reduce this number by
5 mm, or 1/5-inch. The result is your foot length and the
number you will use to determine your shoe size.
- Foot width
- To find your foot width, measure the distance between the
two widest points on your tracing. Reduce this number by 5
mm, or 1/5-inch. The result is the number you will use to
determine your foot width. Use the chart below to determine
your width.
Find your shoe size & width
Make sure you are looking in the proper column, either men's or
women's, when determining your size. The standard width for women
is B. The standard width for men is D.
