The sizing of clogs is different to
the English shoe sizing, which is different to the Amerecan and European
sizing systems so one of the first things you will need
is full-sized tracings of your feet with a few added dimensions for me
to use. You will need to get someone to help you with this so you can
stand up straight with your weight distributed evenly on both feet.
Bending over to trace your own feet can result in incorrect dimensioning.
Wear comfortable socks, such as whatever you'll be dancing in. Use stiff
white "shirt cardboard" or something similar, if you can't get it large
enough to trace your foot on, you might have to tape two pieces
together. Get a good black marking pen, and a
flexible tape measure like the type used for sewing, or you can use a piece
of string and a ruler.
Do one foot at a time. Stand up straight, with good posture, looking
straight ahead. Have your friend hold the marking pen straight up and
down alongside your foot; do not tilt the pen. Run the pen all the way
around the foot. When this is done, don't move your foot yet. Have your
friend take measurements across the top of your foot, from the floor next
to the ball of your foot (over the bunion) to the floor next to the base of your
little toe (pinkie), do not go all the way round your foot. Mark the points on the tracing with arrows to indicate
on the foot tracing where
the measurement was made, and write down the measurement to the
nearest 1/4"(6mm). Repeat this measurement across the
top of the foot, approximately where your arch is. Again, mark the edges
of the tracing with arrows where the measurement was made, and record
the measurement there. you can measure in imperial, or metric.
Repeat all of the above for your other foot.
After you've stepped off the tracings, print your name, phone number and
mailing address on both tracings. Your foot tracings are done!
