How to Measure Your Feet for Made-to-Measure Leather Shoes

At Grandeur Man, every bespoke pair is crafted according to your foot measurements. Accurate measurements help us create shoes that fit comfortably and naturally.

Please follow these four simple steps carefully before submitting your measurements.

What You Will Need

  • 012 sheets of plain A4 paper
  • 02A pencil
  • 03A ruler or measuring scale
  • 04A flexible measuring tape (tailor's tape)
  • 05The socks you normally wear with your shoes
Step 1 – Trace your foot on a sheet of paper with a pencil held vertically
Step 1

Trace Your Foot

Place a sheet of paper on a flat surface. Stand naturally with your foot on the paper, keeping your weight evenly distributed.

Using a pencil held vertically, carefully trace the outline of your foot.

Repeat this process for both feet.

Step 2 – Measure the straight-line distance from heel to longest toe with a ruler
Step 2

Measure Foot Length

On your foot outline, mark:

  • The furthest point of your longest toe.
  • The furthest point of your heel.

Measure the straight-line distance between these two points using a ruler.

Record the measurement in centimetres (cm).

Step 3 – Wrap a measuring tape around the ball of your foot
Step 3

Measure Ball Girth (Foot Width)

Using a flexible measuring tape, wrap it around the widest part of your foot, just behind your toes, across the ball of your foot.

Keep the tape comfortably snug without squeezing your foot.

Record the measurement in centimetres.

Step 4 – Measure diagonally from the back of the heel to the highest point of the instep
Step 4

Measure Heel-to-Instep

Place one end of the measuring tape at the back of your heel. Extend the tape diagonally along the side of your foot towards the highest point of your instep (the upper part of your foot).

Keep the tape following the natural contour of your foot without pulling it too tightly.

Record the measurement in centimetres (cm).

Important: Make sure you measure from the back of the heel to the highest point of the instep, following the same diagonal direction shown in the illustration.

Important Measurement Instructions

  1. Always measure both feet. It is normal for one foot to be slightly larger than the other.
  2. Take measurements while standing, with your weight evenly distributed.
  3. Use the larger measurement whenever your feet differ.
  4. Measure in centimetres and avoid rounding measurements.
  5. Make sure the measuring tape is snug, not tight.
  6. Double-check all measurements before submitting them.
