    This was very helpful. My poor 85 year old Grandmother never has shoes that actually fit because she can't go in to the shoe store personally. She's currently in the hospital after major surgery, so I hope that we can do this and I know that having a nice, properly fitting pair of shoes will do wonders for her outlook! Again, I thank you for your service, it means a great deal to us! ❤️

    Measure both feet. If one is larger or wider then order that size and width. Otherwise you may end up with a shoe on one of your feet that is too short or too narrow.

    Thanks for confirming that I was doing this correctly lol
    I read somewhere that it's a good idea to measure feet at the end of the day as most people's feet swell some over the course of the day...also to wear whatever socks you plan on wearing with the shoes when tracing the foot, cuz depending on what kinda socks you like it could add a bit extra size (;
    Edit: p.s. Found your tidbit at the end very interesting...that it's semi common for feet to grow half a size every decade after 40. I did not know that! :o

    My feet have gone up 2 sizes since my teens. Swelling, gaining/losing weight, and over all getting beat down by life has stretched out my feet. 😅I’m definitely not blessed with cute small feet. Mine are almost the same size as my husband’s. Sometimes when we both like the same shoe, I order it in my husband’s shoe size so he can wear them when he wants to. I just throw an insole or two into the shoe if it’s loose on me from him stretching them out. 😅

    @dhblan8591 2 роки тому +5

    Good tips and common sense instructions. But if you take these ‘steps’ to measure your feet carefully, order the size indicated, and the shoes may or may not fit. Between the manufacturing processes and conversion between US and metric (even though this should be simple math), there are discrepancies. Athletic shoes are the worst. A ‘D’ width in one shoe is worthless if the toe box tapers so drastically that your toes get crunched. So make sure you can return the shoes if they don’t fit.

  • @jeffflowers729
    @jeffflowers729 7 років тому +62

    I see many of these foot tracing videos. 99% have the same error. should place the edge of the paper against a wall and then your heel against the wall. then measure from edge of paper. eliminates the chance of error on that end. then hold a ruler square against the longest toe, pull your foot away and mark the inside edge of the ruler. this is now accurate to within 1/8" which is a half shoe size. Why we have such incremental measurements for shoe size has never made sense to me.
    I think it's crazy that we measure shoes down to a 1/8" fit making only a half size difference. 11 1/8" is a size 11.5 and 11 1/4" is a 12. So just a 1/4" is a full shoe size difference do we really need half sizes??. Especially considering different brands of shoes can differ from these standards and even within the same brand.Or even other charts found on line can have very minor differences. Case in point, my 11 1/4" foot makes me a size 12. On one particular Asics running shoe, a 12 gives me the thumb width toe room recommended (even though it's customary to buy running shoes 1/2 size up) and yet, a different model Asics shoe also in 12 gives me no wiggle room. They "feel" like an 11, no thumb room at all. Oredering shoes online is a fit crapshoot. I can order the same brand/model running shoe and know I'm ok, until the tweak the model and that could changed the fitment. I also have a 4 1/4 width, that based on the chart referenced in this video is a D. All my life I thought I was a D. But on a Brannock Device, my width is right in the middle of a B/C. That's a 1/2" smaller than a D. When I lace dress shoes the material over the tongue pulls together and meets. On my running shoes the material bunches slightly which tells me after all these years the Brannock Device is right. I'm not a D, I'm a B/C but the chart still says I am a D. I think we need to trash the whole shoe size thing and go by actual inches measurements.If your foot is 11 inches, buy a 12 inch shoe to have room. My waist is 34". I buy pants with a 34" waste. Seems so simple doesn't it?

    I went out to 3 different stores, one didn't have the metal device & the other 2 didn't want to measure because of the virus even though I had thick socks on cause I need a new pair of sneakers, also the employee telling me this wasn't wearing a mask.
