How to measure foot length

We need to know the length of our feet, because only by knowing the length of our feet can we buy the right shoes. Otherwise, we can only buy based on our feelings. Buying bigger or smaller shoes will not be comfortable for us to wear. Because the shape of the foot is not very regular, we cannot measure it by measuring a rectangle or a circle. So how do we measure the length of our feet to get the correct shoe size?

First of all: I want to talk about foot length. Foot length refers to the entire length of the foot, not the length of the footprint. So here we would like to introduce the correct method to measure foot length: we need to place the foot flat on a piece of white paper, press the ground as hard as possible, and then use a pen to mark the widest points on the left and right and the longest points front and back. The combination of the two points front and back and the two points on the left and right is the correct length and width of the foot. And remember to measure both feet and take the maximum value.

Secondly: What we are talking about is the foot circumference. Some people may ask why it is not the width of the foot, but the foot circumference? Generally, the measurement is based on the vertical width on both sides of the sole to determine the size of the foot and then convert it into the foot circumference according to a certain rule. This method cannot achieve accurate measurement. For example, some people have wide and flat feet, some have narrow and thick feet, and so on. For soccer shoes that require a tighter foot, it is most reasonable to measure the circumference of the foot. The correct way to measure your foot circumference is: always remember to wear football socks! Then start measuring around the widest part of the instep so that we can get the most accurate foot circumference value.

Before you start measuring, for accuracy, ask a friend to help you. The best time to measure is in the evening or after a game. At this time, the feet are in a fully stretched state due to congestion and long-term upright standing. Our football shoes should be purchased when the feet are fully stretched. When buying shoes, it is best to leave appropriate space between the longest toe and the tip of the shoe, so that the football shoes you buy will be more comfortable to wear.

A person's left and right feet are only basically symmetrical, but not completely equal. When measuring, you should choose the largest foot.

Lifting your feet to measure is the most common mistake people make! The human feet will vary due to different forces, so when measuring, the body should be upright and the weight should be evenly distributed on both feet.

The foot measurement posture should be as follows: please stand on the ground with both feet evenly stressed when measuring the length of your foot;

There are some things to note when measuring sports shoes: If you need to buy sports shoes, it is recommended that you measure your foot length after wearing socks suitable for the corresponding sport;

Measuring time: It is recommended that you measure your foot length in the afternoon, when your feet will be larger.
