Determining the correct Be Lenka shoe size for your feet is a two-step process:
Measure your feet
- Place a piece of paper on a flat surface (avoid soft carpet or cobblestone surfaces).
- Place your foot on the paper (you must be standing, not sitting, during the measurement).
- Put your weight on your foot as this process stretches it.
- Take a pencil and mark the heel and the point furthest from the heel – the longest measurement.
- Use a ruler and measure the difference between these two points.
- Do the same for the second foot (the difference could be +/- 0.5 cm).
- The number you get is your foot size (not your shoe size, as standard shoe size may be misleading).
- Next take your foot measurement (the number you got by measuring both feet) then add 5 to 12 mm (the ideal leeway). The total is the final measurement you are looking for. The margin for maneuver can reach up to 18 mm, because we must think that physiologically the foot lengthens during movement and/or could do so over time. So if you’re used to seeing little abundance in traditional barefoot shoes you have to take space into consideration.
- In winter models, the leeway can be even greater, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. On the contrary, in summer sandals it can be smaller due to the open toe.
