Foot Measuring Sheet

Print check: the bar below is exactly 50 mm. Print at 100 percent (Actual Size), turn off "Fit to page", then measure the bar with a ruler before you use this sheet. If it is not 50 mm, your print scale is wrong.

50 mm The small box beside it is 10 mm.
  1. Put this sheet on a hard floor with the heel line against a wall.
  2. Stand with your heel touching the wall and your weight on the foot.
  3. Mark the longest toe on the scale. It is not always the big toe.
  4. Read the millimetres from the heel line to the mark. That is your foot length.
  5. Measure both feet and use the longer one.

Measure in the evening. Feet lengthen and swell over the day, so a morning measurement can leave a shoe too short.

For children, buy by inner length, not the label. Leave 12 to 17 mm in front of the longest toe: Austrian foot research sets 12 mm as the minimum and 17 mm as the maximum growing room, because a young foot can outgrow a 12 mm gap in about a month. Remeasure every three to four months.

Your foot length in millimetres is your CM (Mondopoint) size. Convert it to US, UK and EU at convertsizes.com. Shoe interiors run longer than the foot, so a size allows for toe room on top of this length.
