- Measure at the right time - Feet swell during the day, so measure in the evening for shoes. Fingers also expand in heat.
- Measure both sides - Your left and right foot/hand may be different sizes. Always use the larger measurement.
- Use proper tools - A ruler or measuring tape on a flat surface gives the most accurate results.
- Double-check - Measure twice to ensure accuracy before ordering.
