How to Measure Your Feet
Step 1: Place a sheet of paper on a hard, flat surface against a wall.
Step 2: Stand on the paper with your heel against the wall, wearing your usual socks.
Step 3: Mark the longest point of your foot on the paper (usually the big toe).
Step 4: Measure the distance from the wall to the mark in centimetres or inches.
Step 5: Repeat for both feet and use the larger measurement.
Professional Fitting Tips
- Best Time to Measure: Measure your feet in the afternoon or evening when they are at their largest due to natural swelling throughout the day.
- Proper Space: Allow approximately 1-1.5cm (0.5 inches) of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe - about a thumb's width.
- Width Consideration: Check both length and width - Clarks offers different width fittings (D, E, F, G, H) to accommodate various foot shapes.
- Both Feet: Always measure both feet as they can differ in size - choose the size that fits your larger foot.
- Sock Thickness: Consider the thickness of socks you'll typically wear with the shoes when measuring.
- Foot Changes: Re-measure your feet annually as foot size can change with age, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy.
- Try Before You Buy: If possible, visit a Clarks store for professional fitting, especially for children's shoes which require more frequent size changes.
- Break-in Period: Allow for a brief break-in period with new leather shoes, but they should feel comfortable from the first wear.
Special Considerations
For Children: Children's feet grow rapidly - check sizes every 2-3 months. Allow extra growing room but ensure the shoe doesn't slip at the heel.
For Wide Feet: Clarks offers wider fitting options. If you're between sizes, consider going up half a size and using heel grips or insoles for comfort.
For Narrow Feet: If you have narrow feet, consider Clarks' narrower width options or use padding/insoles to achieve a secure fit.
International Shoppers: Size conversions are approximate - always refer to foot length measurements for the most accurate fit.
