Artisan Walks step-by-step foot measurement guide

STEP-BY-STEP MEASUREMENT

Measure Your Feet Correctly

For the best result, measure your feet while standing and wear the type of socks you normally plan to use with your shoes.

Prepare the Paper

Place a blank sheet of paper on a flat, hard floor beside a straight wall.

Wear Your Usual Socks

Wear the same type of socks you normally use with the shoes you are ordering.

Stand Against the Wall

Stand naturally on the paper with your heel straight and gently touching the wall.

Mark Heel and Longest Toe

Keep the pencil upright and mark the back of the heel and the tip of the longest toe.

Measure the Length

Measure the straight distance between both marks in centimetres or inches.

Measure Both Feet

Repeat the process for the other foot and use the larger measurement for sizing.

Send Us Your Measurement

Share your foot length, usual shoe size and any fitting concern with Artisan Walks.

This chart is a general conversion guide. Do not choose a size only from another brand’s label because shoe lasts and fitting standards differ.

FITTING CONSIDERATIONS

Size Is Only One Part of Fit

A comfortable handmade shoe also depends on width, instep, heel shape, toe room and the selected last.

Foot Width

Tell us if your forefoot is narrow, standard or wide. Width differences can affect comfort significantly.

Instep Height

A high or low instep changes how the shoe closes and how pressure is distributed across the foot.

Heel Shape

Mention heel slipping, narrow heels or previous fitting problems so our team can review the most suitable option.

Last Shape

Round, almond, chisel and square lasts can fit and feel different even when the marked size is the same.

CUSTOM MEASUREMENTS

Need a More Personal Fit?

For made-to-order or custom shoes, provide detailed measurements for both feet. Our team may request additional photos or fitting notes.

Start a Custom Design

Left and Right Foot Length Measure both feet separately and use the larger result for guidance.

Forefoot Width Record the widest part of each foot and mention any pressure points.

Instep and Heel Notes Mention high instep, narrow heel, orthotics or previous fitting issues.

Preferred Fit Tell us whether you prefer a close formal fit or more relaxed comfort.

Measure in the Evening Feet can expand during the day, so evening measurements are usually more reliable.

Measure Both Feet Most people have slight differences between left and right feet.

Do Not Add Extra Length Send the actual measurement. Our team considers fitting allowance separately.
