Shoe Length
Usually people know their shoe size. While shoe companies don't all use the exact same sizing method, we are all mostly close to each other. You may find that you are an 8 in some brands but a 7.5 or 8.5 in others, but generally, you shoe size is fairly consistent.
We suggest ordering your "typical shoe size" before any swelling started, when ordering Pedors, unless your feet are extremely swollen due to edema or lymphedema for example. In that case you may want to go up a half-size to one full size bigger to account for swollen toes, but no more than that.
Shoe Width
To determine your shoe width with the No Measurement Method, please take a look a the width checker below. This should be used as a guide to give you an idea of the general width area you should be looking at. If you feel like you fall between two widths, go for the wider one. If the wider width is not available in the style you want, you may still be able to wear the less wide one, due to the fact that our shoes stretch.
Remember, we offer FREE return and FREE exchange shipping should your order not fit propertly.
OK, so now you should have a pretty good idea about what size and width to order.
Please Note: It is not uncommon for your Pedors Size to be quite a bit different from the size that may have been worn most recently. This is particularly true for people with swollen feet where longer shoes may have been fitted to gain extra volume (which can lead to tripping). Pedors shoes are available in widths up to 5X-Wide to accommodate the extra girth needed for a swollen foot and as such don't need to be ordered longer than is measured.
If there is an inconsistency from what your size used to be before the swelling came along, use that size and go up half a size to allow for extra swelling in the toe box. If you feel you need to go up even more than that, it is ok to go up to the next full size up but no more than that.
Ideally the person being measured should be in a standing position, but seated is OK.
Place their stockinged feet on a piece of paper. (For bandaged or compression wrapped feet, trace the foot with the bandages/wraps on).
Trace around the feet, making sure to keep the pen vertical so the tracing is as accurate as possible.
From the tracings measure the longer of the two feet and make a note of it.
Then measure the wider of the two feet (at the ball of the foot where it is widest) and make a note of that too.
Find your foot length in inches and look across to see what size that corresponds to.
The first column is for women's sizes and the second column for men's sizes.
Locate your size on the left and then move your finger to the right until you find the width that is the same or slightly wider than your width measurement.
First complete "Step 2. The Quick Measuring Method" above and then continue on with the instructions below..
When ordering, if you are in any doubt, always go with a wider width, rather than a less wide one.
If you would like to make sure the girth of the foot is going to be accommodated also, measure as below and make a note of it (if your feet are not extremely swollen, you can skip this step).
If possible measure the feet when the swelling is greatest which is usually late afternoon or early evening. With a flexible tape measure around the arch of the foot. If you don't have a flexible tape, use a piece of string or similar and then measure that.
Below you will see a range of girth measurements that correspond to your suggested size and width.
Check on the girth chart to see if your girth will be accommodated too.
If not, you will want move up a width if needed. If your girth is more than accommodated by the suggestion in Step 2, that is fine, stick with that width.
