# How to measure your foot to find the right shoe size
##### Buying Guide
How to measure shoe size at home: trace both feet, measure heel to longest toe in centimetres, then match your number to the Nike size chart. Check out the full guide here.

Wearing the wrong size shoe is more common than you think—a [2018 research review in the](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13047-018-0284-z) [*Journal of Foot and Ankle Research*](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13047-018-0284-z) found that up to two-thirds of people may be wearing shoes that fit improperly, raising the risk of foot pain and overall poor foot health. That's why it's important to find the correct shoe size, and that starts with accurately measuring your feet, which can be done at home.
To measure your shoe size at home, tape a sheet of paper to a hard floor, stand on it with your heel against a wall and trace the outline of your foot. Mark the tip of your longest toe and the back of your heel, then measure the distance between the two marks in centimetres. Leave about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Measure foot width as well as length by measuring across the widest part of your foot, usually at the ball.
Do this for both feet, use the larger measurement and match that number to the Nike men's, women's or kids' size chart. That's your size.
Two rules make the measurement accurate. First, measure at the end of the day, when your feet have swollen to their largest. Second, wear the socks you'll wear with the shoes—a thick running sock can change your fit by half a size.
## Quick takeaways:
- To measure your shoe size, trace your foot on paper, mark the back of your heel and the tip of your longest toe and measure the distance between the marks in centimetres. Leave about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Measure at the end of the day, because feet swell over the course of a day and a morning measurement will read small.
- Measure both feet and buy for the larger one—most people have one foot slightly bigger than the other.
- Wear the socks you plan to wear with the shoes while you measure.
- Measure foot width as well as length by measuring across the widest part of your foot, usually at the ball.
- Nike US women's shoe sizes run 1.5 sizes larger than US men's, so a women's 8 is a men's 6.5.

## What you need to measure your feet
When getting ready to measure your feet at home, you need just a few simple supplies for the task:
- A sheet of paper larger than your foot
- Tape
- A hard, flat floor—not carpet
- A pen or pencil
- A ruler or tape measure
- The socks you'll wear with the shoes
## How to Measure Your Foot Size in Five Steps
Now that you have the materials, follow these steps to determine your foot size.
1\. Push the edge of a sheet of paper flush against a wall. Tape the paper to a hard floor. Carpet lets the paper shift and gives you an inaccurate reading.
2\. Put on the socks you'll wear with the shoes, then stand on the paper with your heel against the wall. Keep your weight on both feet with a slight bend in your knees—your foot spreads when it's loaded, and that's the shape you're sizing for.
3\. Trace the outline of your foot, holding the pen upright and flush against your skin. Be careful not to angle the pen to get an accurate measurement.
4\. Mark the back of your heel and the tip of your longest toe. Your longest toe isn't always your big toe.
5\. Measure the distance between the two marks with a ruler or tape measure. Add an extra thumb's width of space at the end of your toe. Record it in centimetres—size charts are based on centimetres, and it's a finer unit than inches.
Repeat all five steps for your other foot. If the measurements differ, go with the larger one.
## How To Measure Your Foot Width
Length tells you your size. Width tells you whether that size will actually fit.
Using the same outline you traced for length, find the widest part of your foot—for most people, that's across the ball, just behind the toes. Measure straight across the tracing at its widest point and record the number in centimetres. Measure both feet and use the larger one.
Then compare width to length. If your foot measures unusually wide relative to its length, or if you regularly feel pressure along the outside edge of your shoes and see the upper bulging over the midsole, you probably need a wide fit.
To determine a ratio, take the foot width and divide by the foot length. For example, if a foot is 10 centimetres wide and 25 centimetres long, the result would be 0.40 for the ratio. An average foot is about 0.39, while an unusually wide foot would be 0.43 or higher.
Nike offers wide and extra-wide versions of many styles, including the Pegasus and the Monarch, and a wide version of the same size will give you room across the ball of your foot without adding length you don't need.
Signs you're in the wrong width: the sides of your foot press against the upper before the shoe is laced, the laces sit far apart across the tongue, or you feel a hot spot along the ball of your foot early in your exercise routine.
## 4 Rules for an Accurate Measurement
To get the best possible measurement, follow these helpful guidelines for the best results.
1\. __Measure at the end of the day.__ Feet swell as you use them, and a foot measured at 8am can read up to half a size smaller than the same foot at 8pm. Size for the bigger version—that's the size you'll need when you've had a long day on your feet.
2\. __Measure both feet, every time.__ Most people have one foot slightly larger than the other. Always size to the larger foot; a shoe that's a touch roomy is a nuisance, but one that's a touch short is a blister.
3\. __Wear the socks you'll wear with the shoes.__ A cushioned running sock and a thin no-show sock don't measure the same. If you'll be wearing wool-blend socks, measure in the wool-blend socks.
4\. __Stand up, weight on both feet.__ A foot measured while sitting is shorter and narrower than a foot carrying your body. Stand up and then trace your foot.
## How to find your shoe size
Now that you've measured your foot size, compare the measurements against a Nike size chart to find the best shoe size for you.
While other shoe brands may use similar size scales, it's best to check out a shoe brand's size charts before purchasing a new pair of shoes from them, as each brand's exact approach to size and fit may vary.
Find your measurement in centimetres in the chart below, then read across for your US, UK and EU size. If your measurement falls between two sizes, go with the larger one.

## Men's to Women's Shoe Size Conversion
Nike US women's sizes run 1.5 sizes larger than US men's for the same foot length. To convert a US women's size to a US men's size, subtract 1.5. To convert a US men's size to a US women's, add 1.5.
1\. US women's 6 equals US men's 4.5
2\. US women's 7 equals US men's 5.5
3\. US women's 8 equals US men's 6.5
4\. US women's 9 equals US men's 7.5
5\. US women's 10 equals US men's 8.5
6\. US women's 11 equals US men's 9.5
7\. US women's 12 equals US men's 10.5
Some Nike styles are unisex and listed only in US men's sizes. If you normally wear a US women's 8, order a 6.5 in those styles.
Width is not the same across men's and women's shoes, so a converted size gets you the right length but not automatically the right fit. If a converted pair feels narrow, check whether the style comes in a wide fit.
## US, UK and EU shoe size conversion
Shoe sizes aren't standardised across regions, and the gap isn't consistent—UK sizes typically run about one size below US men's sizes, while EU sizing uses a different scale entirely. The reliable move is to work from your centimetre measurement rather than converting size to size.
Find your foot length in centimetres, then read across the Nike size chart for your US, UK and EU equivalent. If you're ordering from a non-Nike brand, do the same with their chart—a size 10 is not a fixed length, and it varies by brand and by style within a brand.
Canadian sizing uses the same system as US sizing, so no conversion is needed.
## How To Measure Kids' Feet
Measure a child's feet the same way you'd measure your own, with three adjustments.
Trace with the child standing and their weight on both feet—have them hold onto something and look straight ahead, since looking down shifts their weight forward and changes the tracing. For a toddler who won't stand still, trace one foot at a time while they hold your shoulder.
Once you receive the shoe, check the fit with your thumb, not just the number. Press down at the front of the shoe with the child standing. You want about a thumb's width between their longest toe and the end. Less than that and they've already outgrown it.
Measure often. Kids' feet grow in bursts, and a pair that fit in September can be short by December. Check every two to three months through the toddler and younger kid years, and every four to six months after that. Watch for the signs of poor fit: dragging feet, fidgeting with shoes, taking them off constantly or a heel that slips with every step.
## 4 Signs You May Be Wearing the Wrong Shoe Size
When a shoe fits correctly, you should be able to perform your desired movement—be it walking, running or playing a sport—with comfort and confidence in your feet. That said, there are a handful of telltale signs to look out for if you suspect you're wearing the wrong shoe size, including:
1\. __The toe box is too tight.__ If a shoe is too small, you might experience pinching or irritation on the edge of your big toe or little toe.
2\. __Your heels or ankles feel irritated.__ If a shoe collar is too high, for example, you might experience redness or blisters on your ankle bone (indicating a too-large fit).
3\. __The shoe's arch is in the wrong place.__ If the shoe is too big, the arch might land too close to your heel. In a shoe that's too small, it might land too close to the ball of your foot.
4\. __Your heel slips out while walking.__ In a shoe that is too big, this might happen even when the laces are tied tight.
Tip__:__ when trying on a pair of Nike shoes to assess the fit, be sure to mimic whatever movement you intend to perform in them. For example, if you're shopping for running shoes, consider testing how they feel by taking a quick jog around your home while wearing them. If you'd like expert tips and advice from a Nike teammate, head to your local Nike store to try on different styles in person.
## Frequently Asked Questions
How do you know if you're wearing the wrong shoe size?
Several signs indicate that you're in the wrong size, and some are subtle. Watch for irritation in the heels or ankles, an arch that sits too close to your heel or the ball of your foot instead of at the midfoot, and heels that slip out even when laces are secure.
Do feet change size in adulthood?
Your feet can change in length and width as you age, even though your bones have stopped growing by your early 20s. Factors that can change foot size include weight gain, loss of elasticity in the tendons and ligaments, pregnancy and foot conditions like arthritis or bunions.
How much space should there be between your toe and the end of the shoe?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
If my feet are two different sizes, which one should I use when buying shoes?
Most people have a slight size difference between each foot. Buy shoes for the larger one to prevent irritation.
Should you measure your feet in centimetres or inches?
You can use either method, but centimetres provide more precise results and make it easier to find shoes that fit properly.
