How to measure your feet for sneakers

1. Stand on paper on a hard floor with the socks you plan to wear. Mark the heel and the tip of your longest toe.
2. Measure between the marks for each foot. Use the longer measurement when comparing with a chart based on foot length.
3. Check the chart’s units and whether it lists foot length, insole length, or the size printed on the label. If it uses insole length, compare with the removable insole of a similar shoe that fits you.

How to compare clothing measurements

1. Check whether the seller’s chart lists body measurements or finished garment measurements. A chest circumference and a flat chest width describe different measurements.
2. For a finished garment chart, lay a similar piece flat without stretching it. For tops, compare chest width and body length. For trousers, compare waist width and inseam. Follow the same measuring points shown in the chart.
3. Check the intended fit. If your favorite hoodie is 56 cm across the chest laid flat and the listed size is 53 cm by the same method, the listed size is 3 cm narrower across the front.

What to confirm when the chart is unclear

Save the chart and the exact size and color you want. If the chart is missing, the units are unclear, or a measurement falls between sizes, ask for the relevant measurement for that option before paying. Once it reaches the warehouse, compare the visible label with the order. See the QC photo guide.
