Place a sheet of white paper on the floor against a straight wall. Stand on the paper with your heels against the wall. Make sure your heels are touching the wall. The angle of your heel will affect the length measurement. Stand still with equal weigth on both feet. Draw a line in front of the longest toe on each foot.

Step off the paper and measure the distance from the edge of the paper to the line. Many people have one foot slightly longer than the other. The number of mm or cm is the length of your foot. When buying shoes for children: Add between 10 mm and 15 mm to this measurement. Feet need room to move, and childrens feet need room to grow.
