## 📏 How to Measure Your Foot

1. Place paper on hard floor against a wall

2. Stand barefoot with heel touching the wall

3. Mark the longest toe (not always the big toe!)

4. Measure in cm from wall to mark

5. Add 0.5-1 cm for comfort/toe room

6. Match to chart using CM measurement for best accuracy

## ⚠️ Important Notes

- CM is king: Centimeter measurements are the most reliable across all brands

- Brand variations: Always check the specific brand's size chart

- Width matters: Standard width is B (women) and D (men)

- Size up for: Athletic shoes, winter boots, or if between sizes

- Measure both feet: Use the larger foot for sizing

- Time of day: Measure in afternoon/evening when feet are largest

## 🌍 Regional Quick Reference

US to UK: Women subtract 2, Men subtract 0.5

US to EU: Women add 30-31, Men add 32-33

EU to CM: EU size minus 30, then divide by 2, add 10 (rough estimate)

Example: EU 40 → (40-30)/2 + 10 = 25 cm

💡 Pro Tip: When shopping online, always go by the CM/mm measurement rather than the numbered size. It's the universal language of footwear!
