If you have found a pair of shoes or boots on the stock shoes page that you like you will need to take a few measurements to see if they will fit! Follow the instructions below carefully!

WIDEST PART measurement.

This picture shows how to take the top measurement which tells you your WIDEST PART measurement.

Simply measure over the foot at the widest part (not around the foot) touching the tape onto the floor at each side. The widest part should be from the base of the little toe joint to the base of the big toe joint.

Do not pull the tape tight!

INSTEP measurement.

The instep is roughly halfway along your foot, take the measurement just like you did above for the widest part. Not all styles ask for or state this measurement.

ANKLES some shoe styles, like IVY and boot styles will ask for an ankle measuement. Just measure around your ankle (just above the bone at about 10cms from the floor).

BOOTS - measure around the ankle at 10cms from the floor, again at 15cms, again at 20cms around the calf, and lastly at 25cms, phew!

Remember leather does give with wear. Some styles such as slip ons and faeflips will need to be initially snug to allow for this. Take this into account when sizing up! Any queries, drop me a line by following the contact link.

Good luck!
