Once you have your measurements, you can refer to any manufacturer's size charts to find out which shoe width and size you'll take in their line.
But remember, our feet are actually three dimensional, and most size charts only account for two of those dimensions. For that reason, your best bet is always going to be trying any shoes on before you purchase them.
Having said that, I know that a lot of you still want to figure out your shoe size yourself, so let's get started.
All you need to properly measure your feet at home is:
- two pieces of paper, each one larger than your feet
- a pencil
- tape
- and a ruler or measuring tape.
Trace the outline of your foot and remember to measure your foot without shoes, but with socks similar to the ones you'll be wearing with the shoes you are buying.
Hold the pencil or pen upright and perpendicular to the paper. Do not hold it at an angle.
Make sure the pencil is resting snugly against your foot as you draw around it.
You may actually find it helpful to have someone else trace your foot, but as you can see by this photo, it can be done alone.
Once you've traced your feet, you'll want to get measurements for the length and width of each.
It's important to do this for both feet, because everyone will have some variance between their right and left foot -- and for some people, that difference could be a half or whole shoe size, or more.
Use your pencil to draw straight lines touching the outermost points at the top, bottom, and both sides of each tracing you've done.
Use your ruler or measuring tape to measure the distance from the bottom line to the top line that you made on one of your foot tracings in step three.
Be sure to hold the measuring tape straight, and find the closest mark that you can on your ruler (for inches, use the closest 16th mark) - don't round up or down dramatically.
Write this number down, and repeat the process for the tracing of your other foot.
Now, you have the length of each of your feet, you'll need to also measure the width of your feet.
A lot of people tend to think of their shoe size as just one measurement. For example, "I wear a size seven," or "I need a 10 and a half, because the size 10 is too small." Though the widths do change slightly from size to size, these numbers really only take into account the length of the foot.
But in reality, knowing your shoe width can make a world of difference when it comes to finding comfortable footwear. And, since many people will need narrow or wide shoes -- or even extra wide or slim -- this step is just as important as the last one, because it will determine your shoe width.

The width of a shoe is marked by a letter after the size of the shoe. And like sizes, there are different width markings for women and men. If there is no additional marking, then the size is considered to be a "normal," "average," or "regular" width.
To measure the width of each foot, use your measuring tape or ruler to measure from the line on one side of one tracing, to the line on the other side of the same tracing.
Again, be certain to find the closest mark that you can (for inches, use the closest 16th mark).
Write this number down, and repeat for the outline of your other foot.

Once you've completed the previous steps in this tutorial, you should have measurements for both length and width of each of your feet. You're going to want to use the larger of each of these measurements in determining your final shoe size.
For example, if your left foot is 1/4 of an inch longer, then use your left foot's length measurement. If your right foot is slightly wider, then you'll use that number for your width.
After you've come up with your two biggest numbers (length and width) you'll want to subtract 3/16 of an inch from each of them. This is to accommodate for the slight space between your actual foot and the line made by the pencil.
These final numbers are your actual foot measurements, you can convert them to the appropriate size and width using the links below, but again, I want to emphasize that these (or any) shoe size charts are not going to give results that are as accurate as you'd get by visiting a shoe store and having your feet measured by a professional.
