Measuring Your Foot for Therapeutic (Diabetic) Shoes Print out a metric ruler Measuring your foot is not that hard, but you will need a partner and the following items to do it correctly.a partner (this takes 2 people) a pen or marker (Sharpie type is best) a piece of paper (8.5" x 11") for each foot a ruler or measuring tape that has millimeters (measuring in inches is just too hard!) Place the piece of paper on the floor. Stand with your feet even- shoulder width apart. Let your natural weight rest on the paper. There is no need to press down. (Although some people measure you while seated, your foot will change shape when you stand and place your weight on it. It is best to measure standing since the shoe must be able to fit your foot in this shape.) Have your partner trace the outline of your foot. Repeat the step above for each foot. There is normally a half-size difference in feet. You need to make sure you are fitting the larger foot. (Unless there is more than a half-size, then contact us for advice.) Measure the length of the foot from back of the heel to top of the big toe, in millimeters. Measure of the width of the foot across the widest part of the foot (at the ball of the foot), in millimeters. Compare your results to the chart below. Obviously, this is not the best method, but it will help if you are not sure about your size. If you are still struggling, then print out these pages and trace your foot on them and then send them into us and we will make the assessment for you. Left Right These are legal size pages for accuracy. Remember, mail them to us, do not fax. The fax machine will change the shape.
