@@DrTomBiernacki I'm not good with sizing are US 11EE the same as US 7 1/2 in mens. I measured my feet and there 3½ wide and 10in long and is that close to 11EE I'd want them to be a few sizes bigger since I'm 14 and there for ww2 reenacting im joining the group next year so I want my feet to grow (I'll be 15 this year)
Using these tips, I am apparently wearing shoes 1.5 sizes too small. My feet have been cramping in the middle lately and I've been suffering leg, back, and neck pain. Guess I know why now. Thank you.

@@Bongobongobongobongo If you eat kitty and butt then that's actually gross. Feet are sexier and you can do more with them then you can with regular common areas people kiss. Feet only are bad if they have fungus and look really squished and have issues.
Thanks for this info..... I wear a 10 1/2 in a leather boot, was about to order 1/2 smaller size (10) to get a snug fit, but you have changed my mind helped me make the right decision ...Thanks
Great video. My size 9 (USA) casual shoes actually measure in at 11" and I've always worn size 8-1/2 to 9" shoes but my feet actually measure 10-1/2 without the extra finger. Shoe sizing is so arbitrary and ever after getting correct measurements each shoe company still fits differently.
Another way of doing this if you already have the shoes or are going to the shoes store to try them on is, if the shoes hand removable insoles, take them out of the shoe, place them on the ground and step over them; then you will actually see how much extra space, if any you have left in the front of the shoe.
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.
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.
Thank you! I'm ordering some hunting boots from Russian and they wanted to make sure the sizing was correct so this video helped me help them ensure they would send the proper size (since the shoe size guide between Canada and Russia is greatly different)
Great info - and very important. I love to have Soft Shoes and am always hoping that I can judge the sige correctly so that the shors fit on the heel but that they are so Long that the toes can move freely 🙏🌷

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.
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.
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.
4 Sizes bigger? Bless you'r ankles/heels, which i think was a very important point in this video. You need good support around your ankle/heel too when wearing shoes. Shoes come in alot of different sizes, and in alot of different needs. I've burned myself so many times buyin'g shoes online :)

Hi Jordan I followed you because you look adorable and I see that you have some of the same song choices I am into in your playlist. I'm curious on where you are from. :)
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.
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.

With the finger width-length, you said you were at about 12” but when you selected your shoe you apparently rounded down to 11 and selected and 11.5. I’m a size 10 with ver flat feet and I need to get this right.
It depends a lot on the shoe you order, a running shoe will give more room and a dress shirt is generally tighter. Most shoe companies don't follow the rules the more dress they get
I also found up to accommodate for orthotics, socks and other devices that can take up room. If you have a thing dress socks you won't have to go up as high.
Oh interesting…What happened? How did you get that if you don’t mind me asking? Good video! No one is perfect. I got chronic kidney disease. Good video! 👍
I just did everything you said n my feet came out to a size 8 M (26cm), but when I checked a brannock device at the store it said my heel-to-toe is a 6.5, yet my heel-to-ball is an 8, I think. Should I go with a size 8?? Seems like there would be a lot of toe room. I just want my feet to stop hurting cuz I’m pretty sure I’ve been wearing the wrong size :’(
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.

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?
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.
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!
Thats why measuring is usless because as you said a companys size 11 is anothers sice 9. Blame the shoe companys for not knowing how to use a tape measure. 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. ... Sorry 4 my english but my nativ language is german....
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. We really appreciate you as a fan and we hope to keep making better and more detailed videos for you going into the future!
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'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.
Thanks. I don't remember if I'm an E or a EE. But with what I know now I think I will be fine going with a EE. Do you know what it means when a company says that a toe box on a particular model is larger than another one?
Idk if I did this right. I’ve been wearing size 14’s for years now. I wa skits curious to see my size, and according to charts I should be in a 12 and a half...and I know my foot will not fit in that size of shoe
Yh. Apparently I’m a UK size 9 according to many charts but I genuinely can’t fit into those. My feet are 27.5cm long and I fit perfectly into 10.5-11.
I see the instep of your foot goes almost the same width as your big toe. My big toe goes MUCH wider than my instep. So, do I measure instead from the big toe rather than the instep, please?
@michigan foot doctors I wear a size 12 4e and have had a difficult time finding a right fit boxing shoe. Do you have any suggestions on where i can go to purchase a boxing shoe with that size. My foot is 5 inches wide and 12 inches long pressed down with all my body weight. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
Frustratingly, my width and length don't match up so either my shoes aren't wide enough but fit length wise or aren't the right length but fit in the width. Any suggestions?

Okay so I'm confused a bit, I did the measurements and it came to L: 10 1/4 inches W: 4 5/8 inches. I looked up the chart but, it came out to size 9 in wide...But the shoes that I own which are New Balance, I'm a size 12.5 wide or 13 wide.
The foot can expand while standing, it can swell more after a full day of walking and there should always be a finger length between the longest toe and the front of the shoe. There is no substitute for trying a shoe on in the store as well, all shoes can differ!
I will never find my right size i had 3 foot surgeries every dY I struggle on m y feet all day at work bought a sketches dlites with memory foam always did 9.5 bought a 10 yesterday my foot killing me now have a bunion hammer toe a corn a my good foot today was pushed against edge
You didn't say one word about instep. :( Most shoes I wear are 2-3 sizes too big because I have a short foot but a big instep. Yes it feels like wearing clown shoes.

You keep saying to add a finger length and it's really throwing me off. You're not using a finger length, but a finger width.
Great tutorial! We also have the same tutorial!
👍 thanks for watching!
Thank you for your advice
Good bless you! Thank you!
Thank you very much doctor. This is very helpful as I have to order shoes online (nearly impossible to find size 13 shoes in Asia).
So nice of you, Best of luck!
Where do the 4E, 5E, and 6E come in? Longer shoe?
that was some good info, thx dude
Always confused about width - sheesh - tight hips and hamstrings is new connection idea - thanks
Hi great video. What is your recomendation on a drop-foot brace, preferably one that could be worn inside the shoe.
I feel attacked when he said people think they need a super wide shoe when my width measures to a little over 4 1/2 inches. lol
thank you for the demo! no one ever taught me to add the thumb size to the top and sides! learnt this the hard way, when BUYING SHOES FROM INTERNATIONAL ONLINE STORES, ADD 1CM TO YOUR FOOT MEASUREMENT, lmao. the shoes are so pretty, but there's no room to for my feet to relax 🥲🥲🥲 gonna try to sell it to someone with a smaller foot 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?
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.
So what about me?.. my toes don't angle like that my pinky is maybe shorter than my big toe by a 8th of a inch not 1-2 inches
My feet are different sizes. My right is half size bigger. I met someone with 2 full size difference.
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!
@Eatchabeans I am having that same problem except my left is a half a size bigger than my right.
Your so cute!! info. helpful too!!!!
Thanks!
Thats why measuring is usless because as you said a companys size 11 is anothers sice 9. Blame the shoe companys for not knowing how to use a tape measure. 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. ...
Sorry 4 my english but my nativ language is german....
Please help me! I have that sliding outside foot pain your talking about. Often get plantars. What shoe insert am I needing?!
Shoe making is NOT in inches, Shoes are made in millimeters!
Thanks
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.
We really appreciate you as a fan and we hope to keep making better and more detailed videos for you going into the future!
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.
My feet fit fully in a high top size 3 shoe but won’t in a low size 3 their too big so it doesn’t make sense to me
good video, thank s

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.
Thanks. I don't remember if I'm an E or a EE. But with what I know now I think I will be fine going with a EE. Do you know what it means when a company says that a toe box on a particular model is larger than another one?
A toe box is where your toes go, they can come in many different shapes, it's like the wild west!
@@DrTomBiernacki yeah I'm kind of starting to realize that. Thank you.
Ok, what if I am size 14 to get the width right and size 9 1/2 to get the length right? Which measurement do I choose?
I have a question is size 7 in women's bigger than size 6 in youth?
I'm def a little confused about this, because for me 11 is way too big, but thats what my size is on this chart, but I can ware 9 1/2 really well
How do you measure for shoe volume?
So, I wear a 8.5 but according to this. I wear a 11?
Idk if I did this right. I’ve been wearing size 14’s for years now. I wa skits curious to see my size, and according to charts I should be in a 12 and a half...and I know my foot will not fit in that size of shoe
Yh. Apparently I’m a UK size 9 according to many charts but I genuinely can’t fit into those. My feet are 27.5cm long and I fit perfectly into 10.5-11.
Whats your foot lenght bro, if you wear a size 14?
I see the instep of your foot goes almost the same width as your big toe. My big toe goes MUCH wider than my instep. So, do I measure instead from the big toe rather than the instep, please?
@michigan foot doctors
I wear a size 12 4e and have had a difficult time finding a right fit boxing shoe. Do you have any suggestions on where i can go to purchase a boxing shoe with that size. My foot is 5 inches wide and 12 inches long pressed down with all my body weight. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
I’m size 9.5 but my width is 4” because I fractured my foot a couple years ago and there’s a bone popping out about half an inch wider.
Frustratingly, my width and length don't match up so either my shoes aren't wide enough but fit length wise or aren't the right length but fit in the width. Any suggestions?
If the foot gets too wide we usually see success with insoles. The insoles prevent the foot from flattening out as much and getting wider.
Any god videos for flat feet with shoes.?
www.michiganfootdoctors.com/podiatrist-recommended-shoes/ This guide could help, we will have a new video for this year out soon. My personal favorite is the Brooks Beast overall (different types for different types of feet, but overall this is the most simple one).

Okay so I'm confused a bit, I did the measurements and it came to L: 10 1/4 inches W: 4 5/8 inches. I looked up the chart but, it came out to size 9 in wide...But the shoes that I own which are New Balance, I'm a size 12.5 wide or 13 wide.
The foot can expand while standing, it can swell more after a full day of walking and there should always be a finger length between the longest toe and the front of the shoe. There is no substitute for trying a shoe on in the store as well, all shoes can differ!
Another common reason is foot siZe between left and right can differ
A barefoot will always be smaller than the foot in a shoes with socks on expanded.
@@DrTomBiernacki Ah okay, now it makes a lot more sense. Thank you for the advice!
Good luck, and hope you find a good shoe!
I need a bigger Amazon box. stupid size ~15 feet.
😬 good luck!
I'm a woman with giant feet. I had to draw my feet slanted on my paper cause my foot didn't fit 🤣
MY left foot is bigger then my right foot so I have to always buy two pairs of shoes 9 and 10
I had a flat foot expect my flat foot get better because I have a something goes in you shoes
I started measuring
1st attempt 22.5cm
2nd attempt 25cm
3rd attempt 23.5cm
4th attempt 24.5cm
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Not buying shoes, add to cart and u buy it and place into gigantic sock near the fireplace for Xmas. Not that silly !🙄
👍
If your feet are 12 feet long, I'm still trying to figure out how you drive a car.
I will never find my right size i had 3 foot surgeries every dY I struggle on m y feet all day at work bought a sketches dlites with memory foam always did 9.5 bought a 10 yesterday my foot killing me now have a bunion hammer toe a corn a my good foot today was pushed against edge
You didn't say one word about instep. :( Most shoes I wear are 2-3 sizes too big because I have a short foot but a big instep. Yes it feels like wearing clown shoes.
voice too low sounds too loud.

I'm a skateboarder and my right foot is my dominant foot I have struggled with finding the right fit for years. My right foot feels bigger than my left and because of covid-19 I can't try on a pair any advice?
Many people have one foot bigger than the other for sure!
That's normal, general rule is to show for the bigger foot, it's always possible to double the inserts or wear bigger socks if needed!
Its like he's trying to whisper yell over the loud music 😅
Haha youtube is hard 😅
Today I tried measuring my foot and I got 11 inches which is weird since I wear a size 14 shoe that feels pretty good.
Yeah same, I wear a 12 shoe and its super tight I could move up to a .5 probably 13 but when I measured with the paper Im like 10.5
By the time I’m 18 my feet would be size 14+
One other issue I have are flat feet 🤣
My feet arch alot but my feet are also wide
Hope this helps!
all over the place with measurements. measures 12 lets say 11 3/4 then use 11 >.> seems pretty arbitrary doing it that way.
6 1/2 In
Hopefully you get a great fit!
i almost ripped off my toe for my tight timb
