    Make sure to add some extra room for socks and inserts when you are trying to find your ideal shoe size. Another big thing to remember is that your foot swells almost 1 size on average throughout the day. Lastly if your shoes come in too big, follow this guide on how to make your shoe fit smaller! ruclips.net/video/mM13ytZZZDA/видео.html

    For anyone confused with the part of the video where he measures 11 3/4 on cardboard, rounds to 12, then reads 10 3/4 while using the sizing chart DO THIS!...
    Take your exact foot measurements (without adding the finger width) and use that measurement with the size chart in the video...
    The size chart he's using takes into account the extra room your shoe will provide. So no need to add the finger width.
    Hope this helps 👍🏼

    I'm not sure if I did it right...
    the shoes that I'm wearing are 11.5 US size Nike training shoes, and I feel just about right (or a little bit tight in width)
    I just measured my feet based on the method from the video, which is 11 inches in length, add it up to 11 1/2, about 5 inches in width, and add it up to 5-5 1/2 inches. In this size of feet, I should wear 13 US size EEE shoes, which would be much bigger than what I wear now.

  • @Eric-ue5ed
    @Eric-ue5ed 2 года назад +1

    I also have a EE width, and it’s really frustrating to find a show for my needs. I’ve found that a wide toe box doesn’t necessarily mean the show will fit. My local shoe specialist said that I need a shoe with a 5” last, and most show companies make their last way below that. Recently Birkenstock downsized their 5” last in their Regular/Wides to 4 3/8”. As a result, I can’t even get my foot more than half way in the shoe, no matter how hard I try.
    My second problem is that my feet pronate inward so I need arch support to prevent the pronation.
    Third, any rise in the heel gives me a herniated disk, leaving me sore for weeks at a time, even after I’ve gone back to my old Birkies with the 5” last, which, as I said, is no longer made. I’m quite concerned about this.

    You started with a measurement of 12", then you wrote 11 and 3/4 on the cardboard, then you looked at the size chart and looked at sizes between 10 15/16" and 11 1/8".
    For anyone trying to figure this out -- it looks like he measures 10 3/4" as his foot length and adds about 1/4" to get to what he looks at on the chart.

    I like to wear my shoes much bigger. Like 2, 3, and sometimes 4 sizes bigger. And I have no true shoe size. I'm a 13½, and they don't have that size most places. Most places only go up to 12. So I take what I can get. And a lot of the times with the much bigger shoes, you get a great deal, and discount. So I might get a pair of size 16 shoes, that originally cost $100, for only $20. And I will always go bigger, not smaller with shoes. I like wiggle room, and I like my toes to be able to breathe. And I also like wide shoes, because they are more comfortable. That's why DC Court Graffik shoes are my absolute favorite.

    A finger thickness? Them are some seriously thick socks or your feet swell A LOT! That looks like having a size 10 show but swelling to a size 13. Never heard of or seen this. But your the "pro" , seriously. I learned something - maybe. I figure if you trace the outline while wearing socks and hold the pen vertical you will create an outline that is slightly larger than your foot to account for socks and any changes in foot size over the course of the day.
    Also - measure BOTH feet. People who are right handed tend to lead with the right foot so it may be larger. In my case, I had an accident years ago and although I am right handed, my left foot (which was smashed by a car while riding a moped as a teenager) is slightly larger as a result. Obviously, order according to the larger foot.

    • @DrTomBiernacki
      @DrTomBiernacki  4 года назад

      Absolutely great tips and we did make an updated video clarifying these points!
      The finger thickness is a about 1/2 centimeter but this is because most people wear shoes so tight they develop nail rubbing and your feet swell and flatten during the day, that is to take that into account.

  • @activelivingchallenger4298
    @activelivingchallenger4298 3 года назад +2

    I'm not sure if this will help to determine what size you are in terms of length because a lot of manufacturers have different sizing, but I do think this is a good way to tell if you have narrow, normal width or wide feet because it is relative. For me I'm a size 11 length wise and my width measurement is 4.6 which is right in between a medium (D) and wide (EE). It's probably best to err on the side of caution but it also depends on the type of shoe you buy some shoes might run wide or narrow. But at least now I know that my feet are slightly wider than average/normal.

      That is definitely a tough pain to have. If it doesn't get better just make sure to check with your podiatrist or primary care doctor to make sure there is nothing more serious going on.

    I consulted a professional podiatrist and she measured BOTH my feet to custom make shoes.
    None of us are symmetrical, as any professional shoemaker will tell you when you visit to have a custom last made.

      @kseismoloj 2 года назад +1

      I think that the chart he used already accounts for the extra room you need for your foot? I measured my feet, got 10.25 and added 0.5, but when I look at the chart, that puts me at a 10.5 shoe size. I have NEVER worn that size, ever. If I take my actual foot measurement, with no added half inch, I get the right size.

    Is shoe break-in and stretching not something to consider? I’ve heard it said that, for example, your leather shoes or boots might feel too tight but they’ll break in and feel proper later.
    I also remember the Army measuring my foot and issuing me combat boots. They were so stiff and snug initially that they didn’t even let us lace them up for the first week or so. Eventually, they felt like moccasins. 👍🏻
    That makes me think the shoe material (and stretching) is irrelevant. What’s the verdict on that, doc?

    Hello I have a question? I have very very wide feet 4 EEEE with fat wide toe. Depends on what I'm doing I do most things barefooted because I go through Footwear like crazy. I wear flip-flops but I have to fight to put them on because my foot is wider than the straps.( it's embarrassing sometimes) my friends call me wide foot Bandit.Is there anyway to shrink the wideness of the foot. And another thing. When I bought my flips flops in 2 months I wore the footbed out and I had a nice wide footprint on the flip flops. Is this normal. The souls were still new and show no wear. I'm surprised that my flip-flops are still holding up I thought that would have blown them out because my foot is so wide. Also is it normal to have fat toes just because your foot wide. Thank you and you have a nice day.

    I find this tutorial confusing because using this method my foot measured 11 5/8" in length and 4 7/8" in width (with the added thumb widths/lengths).
    According to the size charts, my shoe size would be about a size 13 EE (wide) to 13.5 EE.
    My actual shoe/sneaker size which I wear ranges from a 7 1/2 EE to an 8 EE or even a 9 (depending upon the shoe manufacturer and material used).
    Am I calculating incorrectly?
    A size 13 EE or 13.5 EE would be an extraordinary amount of toe room.

    Anyone is capable of measuring foot size, but the problem lies with the numerous varying size conversion charts not how one measures their foot, one for Adidas one for Nike on a simple search, even if there was one standard size chart, there is still no uniformity. Shoe sales must have gone through the roof due to this dilemma.

    I normally wear a size 45 EU, so i measured my feet but it was compered to the number shown in the size charts (26cm which would be equal to a size 40.5 EU), then i also asked my mother to measure her foot and it was somehow exactly the same length (note: she wears a size 40 EU) and then I also asked my brother (45 EU) and dad (45-46 EU) to measure too and the results were 26.5 and 27 cm respectively. None of that makes any help and I cant figure out what size I should actually get for the specific shoe size. Any help? Am I doing something wrong ?

    • @DrTomBiernacki
      @DrTomBiernacki  5 лет назад +1

      Absolutely, there are 2 reasons that this could happen, with one being very easily correctable:
      1) Your foot is broken and severely arthritic by a trauma or a congenital defect (this is very rare).
      2) You are tight on one leg compared to the other(in your calf or hamstring or hip), and your foot turns out more when you stand. This can be due to knee, hip or back pain. An orthotic combined with stretching will help that along. These can really be improved!

Same with jeans, when jeans of the same size have 2" difference in length it would be cheaper and easier if they do not print sizes on it. ...
