How do I find my correct shoe size?

Finding the correct shoe size is essential for comfort and overall foot health. Shoe Peddlers offers a few guidelines that you can follow to determine your proper size. First, it is helpful to have your feet measured. This can be done at home with a ruler or tape measure. To start, place your foot flat on a piece of paper and trace the outline. Next, measure the longest distance from the heel to the tip of the longest toe for each foot. It is important to note that one foot is often larger than the other, so use the measurement of the larger foot when determining your size. Once you have this measurement, refer to the sizing chart available on the Shoe Peddlers website or similar resources, as sizes may vary between brands and styles. Standard sizing can be displayed in different formats, such as US sizes, UK sizes, or European sizes, depending on the brand. Make sure to check the specific size chart for the shoes you are interested in purchasing. Additionally, it is advisable to try on shoes later in the day when your feet are more swollen and reflect their natural size. Walk around in the shoes for a few minutes to ensure they are comfortable and offer adequate support. Look for any pressure points or tight areas, as this can indicate that the size may not be correct. If you are unsure about sizing after measuring your feet and trying on shoes, many retailers, including Shoe Peddlers, often provide guidance on returns and exchanges, which can alleviate some of the pressure when selecting the right fit. Always remember to consult the specific guidelines associated with the shoes you intend to wear.
