Figuring Out Your Correct Shoe Size Before You Click ‘Buy’

Ever order a new pair of shoes online, only to find out they pinch your toes or flop off your heels? You’re not alone. Getting the right shoe size is tricky, but it’s absolutely doable—especially if you know what to look for before you hit that buy button.

Here’s the thing: shoe sizes aren’t always as simple as they seem. But don’t worry, you don’t need fancy tools or a trip to the store. With a few quick steps, you can figure out your correct shoe size at home and shop confidently on sites like Campus Shoes for everything from running shoes to casual sandals.

Easy Ways to Measure Your Feet at Home

Not sure where to start? Measuring your feet at home is easier than you think. All you need is:

• A piece of paper (A4 works great)
• A pen or pencil
• A ruler or measuring tape
• Socks you’d normally wear with the shoes
• Place the paper on a hard floor, against a wall.
• Put your foot flat on the paper with your heel touching the wall.
• Trace around your foot (ask someone for help if possible).
• Mark the longest point of your toes and the back of your heel.
• Measure the distance between these two marks in centimeters or inches.
• Repeat with your other foot—most people have one foot slightly bigger!

Here’s a tip: Always use the larger measurement when choosing your size. And measure in the evening—your feet can swell during the day.

“About 60% of people have different-sized feet. Always buy shoes that fit your bigger foot for maximum comfort.” — Shoe Fitting Experts

Quick Takeaways:

• Measure both feet and go with the bigger one.
• Add about half a centimeter for wiggle room.
• If you’re in between sizes, size up for comfort.

What to Do If Shoe Brands Have Different Sizing

You’ve measured your feet and checked the size chart—but what if every brand seems to fit differently? This happens all the time! Here’s what works best:

• Always check the brand’s own size chart. Don’t assume a UK7 is always a UK7 everywhere.
• Look for customer reviews mentioning fit. People love sharing if shoes run big, small, or just right.
• If possible, try a similar style in-store first.
• Email customer support for advice. For example, you can always reach out at the Campus Shoes’ Contact Page.
• Stick to brands you trust if sizing always confuses you.
