Recently i had to order to some new shoes for work and as I work in an intensive care area the shoes i am wearing in work should not be worn anywhere else for infection control issues so they needed to be comfortable, fit in with the hospital policy and also not be too hard on the old pocket. The shoes i was after were more available online and so i was stuck with the dilemma of how to work out my shoe size. But using the magic of google I was able to work out how to measure my own foot! It was an interesting little exercise to do on your own, but it can be done, even though my kids did have a good giggle at me trying to stand up whilst drawing round my foot with a pencil!
At the time I was after a particular shoe but online but then i started doing some shopping and came across some other shoes that I will be adding to my wish list. A girl can never have too many shoes! Check out some of my favourites!
But in the meantime, if you are wanting to work out your correct size. Try using this method below. You just might need someone to lean on though!!
You can measure your own feet by following these simple instructions,
1. Find an A4 blank sheet of paper and a hard flat surface.
2. Place your foot on the paper, including the socks you are wearing.
3. Get a pen and hold it vertically and not at an angle.
4. Then you need to place a mark at the end of your big toe and heel.
5. Then you can also leave marks at the widest part of your feet, if your concerned with exact width measurement.
6. Get a ruler and extend the marks for the big toe and heel.
