Footwear is only truly comfortable if it fits properly . So why do so many of us still wear shoes in the wrong size?
In fact, it's often not that easy to determine which shoe size you actually need. This is due in part to the fact that shoe sizes can vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer . It can happen that a standard size fits one brand but suddenly no longer fits another.
How do I measure my shoe size? – Our step-by-step guide
To ensure your shoes fit properly, you need to measure your foot precisely! Don't worry, it's not difficult at all and can be done quickly. Here we'll show you step-by-step how to find your ideal shoe size:
Step 1: Stand barefoot on a flat surface with your heel against a wall.
Step 2: Place a ruler next to your foot so that it also touches the wall.
Step 3: Now measure the length of your foot at the tip of your toe and write it down.
Step 4: Compare the measured value to our size chart to find your shoe size.

To ensure that the measurement is successful and that you get an exact value, we have a few additional tips for you:
-
You should always measure your foot while standing , so that it bears your full body weight. Sitting or squatting may result in slightly inaccurate measurements.
-
It's best to measure your foot size in the afternoon or evening , because your feet are always slightly swollen from walking during the day. This reduces the risk of wearing shoes that are too small.
-
If your foot is between two sizes , we recommend the larger shoe size !
-
If you have different sized feet, also choose the larger foot.

Be sure to try on both shoes at the same time !
-
Walk around your house for a few minutes to see how the shoes feel. It's best to do this while wearing the socks or stockings you'll be wearing later in your day.
-
Pay attention not only to the length of the shoe, but also to its width. Is the shoe wide enough for you to feel comfortable in it?
-
The shoe fits perfectly when the toes and heel have enough space throughout the entire rolling motion and there is no pressure anywhere .
Now nothing stands between you and your new slippers! Is the size still not quite right? No problem, you can return any Haflinger shoe to us free of charge ! Have you found the model you're looking for and the shoe fits perfectly? We hope you enjoy your new slippers!
