How do I know what type of foot I have?

The first thing you need to do is to measure the foot. To do this you have to place the pencil correctly. If you look at the tip of the pencil, in the area where it widens (it is like a cone) and where it ends is the tip that paints. The edge of the cone has to make a 90° angle with the paper, you have to compensate the thickness of the cone of the pencil. It is also important to use a pencil or pen with a fine point because if we use wide-tipped markers we are adding mm to the measurement.

Once you have the length and width measurements, enter them in our size calculator and it will tell you what type of foot you have.

What about the instep? Low, medium or high?

Now it’s the instep’s turn, but there’s more! Because the foot is three-dimensional and knowing all its measurements will help you choose the right barefoot shoes.

In this case we only have to take a tape measure and measure the height of the instep from side to side, without going around the foot.

Once you have the measurement you enter it in our calculator along with the length and width measurements and it will tell you the type of instep of the foot.

Having all this information will make it easier for you to find the ideal barefoot shoes for your feet.
