How to measure your foot

Put a sheet of paper on the floor, against a wall, at the end of the day (feet swell a little during the day).
Stand on it with your heel touching the wall, wearing the socks you plan to use.
Mark the tip of your longest toe and measure from the wall to the mark with a ruler.
Measure both feet and use the larger number.
