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!
