How to Measure Your Foot Length and Width?

To measure your foot length and width, you will need a piece of paper or cardboard larger than your foot, a tape measure or ruler, and a pen.

1^st Step: Find a hard, flat surface, place the heel of your foot against the wall and place a piece of paper on the floor.

2^nd Step: Wear socks that are similar to what you plan to wear when playing tennis or padel. Stand with one foot on the paper.

3^rd Step: Keeping your body weight over your foot, trace a thin line around the outside of your entire foot. When drawing the line, hold the pen perpendicular to the ground.

4^th Step: Measure vertically down the length of your foot tracing. Add 1 cm to the shown number. This is your foot length to choose.

5^th Step: Measure horizontally across the widest part of your foot tracing. This is your foot width.

6^th Step: Repeat these steps for your other foot. Now you know your foot length and width. When determining your shoe size, use the larger foot measurements.

How to Find Your Shoe Size?

Finding the right shoe size is not always easy, as each brand uses different sizing charts. Therefore, we recommend using centimetres as a guide, which is the only reliable size that you can measure yourself. We also advise you to check our fit details in each shoe description. This is the guide that tells you if the shoes fit large or small, narrow or wide.

How to Measure Your Foot Arch?

In order to determine your foot arch type, you will need: a piece of paper or cardboard larger than your foot and a small container with water inside.

1^st Step: Find a hard, flat surface and place the piece of cardboard on the floor.

2^nd Step: Moisten the bottom of your foot in the container and step on the cardboard.

3^rd Step: Hold your foot on the cardboard for a few seconds and remove it.

4^th Step: Compare your imprint with the picture below.

There are 3 different types of foot arches: LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH

If you have a low foot arch or pronated foot, you tend to roll your feet inwards and you need a shoe that will give you a lot of stability with a low to medium arch support.

If you have a medium foot arch, lucky you! You can play with a shoe with any type of arch support and select the qualities that best match your needs.

If you have a high foot arch or supinated foot you tend to roll your feet outwards and you need a shoe that will give you high quality of cushioning with a medium or high arch support.
