6. INNER LEG

7. SLEEVE LENGTH

2. How To Measure: Foot Lengths
how to measure

To measure your feet, stand on a level floor with the back of your heels against a straight wall.

  1. Measure your foot length by placing a ruler flat on the floor alongside the inside of your foot from your heel to your toes. (It may be helpful to stand on a piece of paper which you can then mark)

  2. Place an object with a flat edge (like a ruler) straight across your toes with the edge touching the tip of your longest toe.

  3. Take the measurement of your foot (in mm) from where the flat edge crosses the ruler.

Calf Circumference:

Place your foot flat on the floor. Using a fabric tape measure, measure the circumference of the widest part of your calf.

Selecting A Shoe Size:

Please refer to the Footwear Measurement Size Guide to select a size. If your foot measurement is between sizes, always select the larger size.

We recommend trying on and wearing your shoes on carpet to check the fit, as we are unable to accept returns with marked soles
