Shoe Width Chart – Foot Width in CM (Men, Women & Kids)
Shoe Width Chart – Foot Width in CM (Men, Women & Kids)
This shoe width chart helps you estimate the correct shoe width using foot width measurements in centimetres (CM). Width labels vary by brand and region (e.g. Narrow, Medium, Wide, EE), so measuring your foot width is typically more reliable than relying on letters alone.
Measure the widest part of your foot in CM and compare it to the tables below. Always cross-check with brand-specific sizing charts for the most accurate fit.
📏 How to Measure Foot Width (CM)
- Place a sheet of paper on a hard, flat floor (avoid carpet).
- Stand on the paper with full weight on the foot.
- Mark the widest points of your forefoot (typically across the ball of the foot).
- Measure the distance between the marks using a ruler or tape measure.
- Record the measurement in centimetres (CM). Measure both feet and use the larger width.
For best results, measure at the end of the day when feet are typically slightly larger.
