The Wall & Paper Method (Most Accurate)
- Tape a clean sheet of paper to a hard floor, flush against an upright wall.
- Stand barefoot (or wearing your typical socks) with your heel firmly touching the wall.
- Have someone mark the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure the distance from the edge of the paper to the line using our Centimeters Ruler or Inches Ruler.
- Repeat for the other foot and use the larger number.
