How to Choose The Right Sandal Size
Introduction
Sandals are meant to be worn barefoot, with your socks off. Precisely for this reason, a difference of just a few millimeters can significantly affect how comfortable they feel.
To assist those purchasing online, we have compiled a guide on how to measure your feet at home and criteria for choosing the right size when you are unsure.
What You Need
-
A sheet of paper (A4 size is recommended)
-
A pencil or pen
-
A ruler (30cm or longer is recommended)
-
A flat floor
How to Measure Foot Length (Approx. 5 Minutes)
-
Place the paper on the floor, flush against a wall.
-
Stand on the paper with your heels against the wall.
-
Mark the tip of your longest toe. Please check carefully, as it is not always the big toe.
-
Remove the paper and measure the distance from the edge that was against the wall to the mark.
-
If there is a difference between your left and right foot, use the measurement of the longer one.
Feet tend to swell slightly by the end of the day, so measuring in the evening will give you a measurement closer to your actual size.
About Sizing
The sizing and fit of AOTOMORI sandals may vary depending on the model.
For this reason, we provide detailed information on actual measurements and fit guidelines on each product page. Please be sure to check the product page before making a purchase.
How to Choose if You're Unsure
If you are choosing between two sizes, please use the following as a guide:
-
If your feet are standard to slightly narrow, choose the smaller size.
-
If your feet are wide or you have a high instep, choose the larger size.
-
If you plan to wear them for long periods during the summer, choose a size with a little extra room.
While the natural material straps will gradually conform to your feet as you wear them, they will not stretch significantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I try them on before buying?
Currently, our online store does not offer a try-on service.
However, we plan to expand into physical stores and pop-up shops in the future. At these locations, you will not only be able to try on AOTOMORI sandals before purchasing, but you will also be able to watch the pair you've chosen being assembled right before your eyes.
For products purchased online, if the size is not right, we accept exchanges for unused items within 7 days of arrival.
Q. Is it okay to use the size of my sneakers as a reference?
Since sneaker sizing varies by brand and model, we recommend using your actual foot length as the basis for choosing your sandals.
Q. Do you have children's sizes?
Yes. AOTOMORI also offers sizes for children.
Size ranges and fit vary by model, so please check the individual product pages for details.
