How to Choose The Right Sandal Size

2 MIN READ

Introduction

Sandals are meant to be worn barefoot, without socks. That's why even a difference of a few millimeters can significantly affect comfort.

For those purchasing online, we've compiled a guide on how to measure your size at home and what to consider when you're unsure about sizing.


What you need before measuring

  • A4 size paper

  • Pencil or pen

  • Ruler (30cm or longer is recommended)

  • Flat floor


How to measure foot length (approx. 5 minutes)

  1. Place the paper against a wall on the floor.

  2. Stand straight on the paper with your heel against the wall.

  3. Mark the tip of your longest toe. Be sure to check, as it may not be your big toe.

  4. Remove the paper and measure the length from the wall side to the mark.

  5. If there is a difference between your left and right foot, use the longer measurement as your standard.

Your feet tend to be slightly larger in the evening than in the morning, so measuring at the end of the day will give you a more accurate size.


How to measure foot width

Measure the widest part in a straight line, from the base of your big toe to the base of your little toe.

Measuring while standing allows you to determine your natural foot width under your body weight.


About Sizing

The fit and feel of AotoMori sandals may vary by model.

Therefore, each product page provides detailed information on actual dimensions and fit guidelines. Please be sure to check the product page before purchasing.


How to choose when in doubt

If you are debating between two sizes, use the following as a guide:

  • For standard to slightly narrow feet, choose the smaller size.

  • For wide feet or high insteps, choose the larger size.

  • If you often wear them for long periods in summer, choose a size with a little extra room.

Natural material straps will gradually conform to your feet with wear, but they will not stretch significantly.
