How do I measure my foot at home?

Tape blank paper against a wall, stand barefoot with your heel touching the wall, mark the tip of your longest toe with a pen held straight up, measure from the paper edge to the mark. Use the longer foot if they differ. Best measured in late afternoon when feet are slightly larger.

What size Birkenstock should I get?

Birkenstock uses European sizing. EU 36 fits a US women's 5–5.5; EU 40 fits a US men's 7–7.5; EU 42 fits a US men's 9–9.5. Birkenstock runs slightly large — if you're between sizes, size down to the next whole size. Cork footbed molds to your foot after a few wears.

Do Dr. Martens run true to size?

Dr. Martens runs a half size large. Most customers size down half. Dr. Martens uses only whole sizes — if you're a half size, go down to the nearest whole. Allow 1–2 weeks of break-in for the leather to soften.

Do UGG boots run true to size?

UGGs fit true to size for most styles. Classic boots stretch a little over time — if you're between sizes, go down. Wear them barefoot or with thin socks (sheepskin lining provides the warmth).

Do Timberland boots run true to size?

Timberland boots run a half size large — most customers size down half, especially in the 6-inch styles. Order your usual size if you wear thick wool work socks daily or want a roomier toe box.

Does Feet Heart offer wide widths?

Measure your foot at home

Tape a blank piece of paper to a hard floor, against a wall.
Stand barefoot with your heel against the wall, weight evenly on both feet.
Mark the tip of your longest toe on the paper with a pen held straight up.
Repeat for your other foot. Use the longer measurement — most people have one foot slightly larger.
Measure from the edge of the paper to the mark in centimeters or inches.
Find your length in the chart below.

Best time to measure: late afternoon or after walking around, when feet are at their fullest.
