No ruler? Print one.
A foot ruler for A4 or US Letter paper, for adults and kids. It has a 10 cm check line and a bank-card box, so you can confirm it printed at exactly the right size.
Print it at the right size
- Open the PDF and choose Actual size or 100% in the print settings. Turn off “Fit to page” and “Shrink to fit”.
- Measure the check line: it must be exactly 10 cm. No ruler? A bank card must fit the dashed box exactly.
- If either is off, print again with the scale at 100%.
Measure the foot
- Cut along the dashed line at the top and put the sheet on the floor, cut edge against the wall.
- Stand on it in the socks you’ll wear, heel touching the wall. For a child, gently hold the heel there.
- Mark the tip of the longest toe, read the length, and do the other foot too. Use the longer one.
- Adult foot longer than the first sheet? Cut the first sheet along its bottom dashed line and butt sheet 2 against it.
Type the length into the shoe size calculator to get your size in every system and brand.
