If you can't visit your local SHIMANO dealer or bike shop to get a complete measurement with a Brannock Device, you can determine your shoe size at home in three simple steps.

STEP1

Prepare  

 

・Paper (larger than your foot)

・Pen or pencil

・Ruler (metric is preferred)

Tips:

・Wear the same socks you usually ride in

・Secure the paper with masking tape to prevent it from slipping.

STEP2

Trace

 

Place the sheet of paper on a hard, flat floor against a wall.

Stand with your heel lightly touching the wall.

Trace around your foot with a pen held vertically or mark the tip of your longest toe.

Continue tracing all the way to the widest points at the base of the big toe and little toe.

Mark the widest points on both sides of the foot.

STEP3

Measure length

 

Measure from the edge of the paper to the longest toe using a ruler.

Record the number.

Repeat for the other foot and use the longer measurement.

 

Note: Use the longer foot to determine the length.

Measure width

 

Draw a line through the marks on either side of the foot.

Note: This line may be slightly angled.

 

Measure this line at the widest point, as shown by the red line in the image.

Repeat for the other foot and use the average of the two measurements.

Now, you can use your measurements to find your size on the chart.

Here is an example using foot measurements.

Length

Left foot length: 266 mm, right foot length: 265 mm

Use the longer of the two measurements: 266 mm

The length of 266 mm falls within the size 42.5 row (265-268).

Width

Left foot width: 108 mm, right foot width: 104 mm

Average of the foot widths: 106 mm

The foot width of 106 mm falls in the [Standard / Wide] column.

Notes:

・If you're between sizes, choose the larger size.

・Accurately measuring your feet alone can be difficult. Having someone else mark the points helps ensure correct posture and accurate results.

・1 in 5 people have a large difference between the sizes of their left and right feet. Always choose the size that fits the longer foot and the width that fits the wider foot.

Try-on checklist: Check in order, from top to bottom

・Tap your heel to ensure it is seated in the heel cup

・Ball of the foot sits at the widest part of the shoe

・Base of the little toe is not rubbing

・Instep is not compressed

・At the toe 5-10 mm of room

If you experience…

Toes touching the end: Try going up 1/2 size

Little toe rubbing: Try one width wider: Narrow → Standard → Wide

Foot sliding too much side-to-side: Try one width narrower: Wide → Standard → Narrow

Instep feeling too tight or too loose: Try adjusting the fit with an arch pad

Heel lifting: Try going down 1/2 size or adding an insole
