MEASURE & FIT

If the Shoe Fits…

When it comes to your feet working hard for you all day at work, proper fit is everything.

If shoes are too big, the foot slips forward and the toes and metatarsals (supporting bones of the foot) are crushed. If shoes are too small, the foot becomes deformed in order to force the shoe to fit.

In addition, our sizing means no more guesswork. We measure shoes in millimeters. Meanwhile, the rest of the shoe world works in an archaic system devised by Anglo Saxons in which shoe sizes were measured in barleycorn lengths (where one barleycorn equals 1/3 inch… the more you know!).

At Fields Footwear, we know you want a quick and easy way to size your  feet. Gone are the time-consuming visits to shoe stores, with poorly-educated store assistants and limited in-store stock. From the comfort of your home, or even on the move, you are always first in line.

 

Measuring Your Feet

Here are some hints before you get started:

  • You should be barefoot (with toes uncurled)
  • If you plan to wear socks with your shoes, then make sure you are wearing them when you measure
  • Measure one foot at a time
So, how do you do it? 
  1. Find a ruler, a pen, and a piece of paper
  2. Place the paper on a hard flat surface against a wall.
  3. Stand with your heel against the wall
  4. Make a mark at the tip of your longest toe.measure children's feet for shoes
  5. Record the actual measurement in millimeters
  6. Take the largest measurement of both feet and add 5-10 mm for wiggle room
  7. That’s your Perfect Size Number!
  8. Take that number and compare it to the Fields Footwear Size Chart below. If your foot falls in between sizes, round up.
