Get your shoes to fit just right.
Sizing can be a little tricky online, but we are here to help. All of our shoes are listed in US sizes, and we have a helpful size conversion chart shown below. If you're ordering for the first time, we recommend sticking with your usual shoe size that you typically wear in other brands. Our shoes run true to size unless otherwise noted on the product page. We do not offer half sizes or different widths. All of our shoes are a "standard" B width which is typical for most US shoe sizing. We generally recommend sizing up to the next whole size if you are in-between sizes, unless you have a very narrow foot. People who are in-between sizes or who have a wider foot may find the next size up to be the best fit. Some styles fit a bit differently based on their shape or whether they're closed/open toe/back, so if you share which styles you're interested in, we can offer more specific fit guidance at hello@charlotte-stone.com
First, we trace.
Step on a piece of paper big enough to fit your entire foot. Keeping your pen or pencil as straight as possible, trace your entire foot onto the paper. For this first tracing, try not to angle your pen or pencil towards or away from your foot.
Before moving your foot off the paper, trace the inside of your foot along your arch. This time, let your pen angle itself along your arch. If you want, use a different color pen or pencil for this so you can easily distinguish which tracing is which.
Now let's find your length.
Refer to your first tracing and measure the length of your foot from the top-most point of your toe to the bottom-most point on your heel. The number you get is your length measurement.
We design our shoes to fit flush with the back of your heel, so if you also like your shoes to fit that way, choose the size in the chart below whose measurement is closest to the length of your foot.
Size 4 | 8.75" | Size 10 | 10.25" |
Size 5 | 9" | Size 11 | 10.5" |
Size 6 | 9.25" | Size 12 | 10.75" |
Size 7 | 9.5" | Size 13 | 11" |
Size 8 | 9.75" | Size 14 | 11.25" |
Size 9 | 10" | Size 15 | 11.5" |
Next, let's find your width.
Measure the width at the widest point of your first tracing. The number you get is your width measurement.
Compare your width measurement to the chart below. If the width measurement for your shoe size is larger than your actual measurement, your foot's width is narrow. If the width measurement for your shoe size is smaller, your foot's width is wide. If the width measurement for your shoe size is nearly the same, your foot's width is medium.
Size 4 | 3.1" wide | Size 10 | 3.8" wide |
Size 5 | 3.2" wide | Size 11 | 3.9" wide |
Size 6 | 3.3" wide | Size 12 | 4.1" wide |
Size 7 | 3.4" wide | Size 13 | 4.2" wide |
Size 8 | 3.6" wide | Size 14 | 4.3" wide |
Size 9 | 3.7" wide | Size 15 | 4.4" wide |
And finally, let's find your arch type.
Look at the second tracing you made (the one you made along your arch) and compare its shape to the images below. If you have zero-to-little space between the first tracing and the second, your arch is low. If your second tracing hits the midway point of your tracing or further, your arch is high. If it’s in between, your arch is medium.
Another way to measure your arch type is by wetting your foot, stepping on a piece of paper or paper bag, and comparing the shape of your footprint to the images below.
Voilà, your foot DNA.
Now that you know what makes your foot special, you can shop for shoes that fit you like a glove (or should we say sock?). Look for the icons on our product pages to find out if the shoe you’re into is recommended for your foot type. Or just reach out to our Shurus™ for their expert, personalized shoe-gestions. 🙃
