Choosing the right size

To find shoes that fit well, you need to measure your feet correctly. There are several quick and easy ways to find your size. Here are 3 of them:

The professional pedimeter

This professional tool measures the length of a foot. Fun and perfectly suited to children’s feet as well as adults’, it is very quick and easy to use: ideal for measuring your own size or checking your children’s during the season.

This pedimeter is available on our website.

How does it work?

  1. Place the pedimeter on the floor.
  2. Standing up, put your right heel on the rounded mark and keep the rest of your foot flat (toes spread out). Stand up straight and look ahead.
  3. Slide the white tab to the tip of your foot, on the scale.
  4. Read your size. If the pedimeter shows 2 values, take the larger one. That’s it, you know your size!

The printable pedimeter

Click the button below to print our pedimeter on a standard sheet of paper (A4, actual size, 100% scale) and measure your foot on it:

  1. Print the pedimeter and place it on a flat surface on the floor.
  2. Stand up and put your foot flat (toes spread out) on the sheet, making sure your heel is right at the back of the space provided.
  3. Read your size on the scale.

As one foot can be larger than the other, measure both feet and go with the larger size. For example, if your foot is between a 38 and a 39, round up to the next size: your size is 39.

Measuring in cm

You can also use a blank sheet of paper to measure your foot.

How does it work?

  1. Put your foot flat on a blank sheet of paper and trace its outline with a pen.
  2. Repeat with the other foot.
  3. Measure the maximum length with a ruler or a tape measure.

To convert this measurement into a French (EU) size, we use the French system, or Paris point, in which the length in cm equals 2/3 of the size. For example, if your foot measures 25.9 cm, the formula is 26 cm / 0.666 = 39: your French size is 39.

For children’s feet, remember to leave a margin of about 1.2 cm at the front of the foot. This is the growth margin (a child’s foot grows by 3 mm every 30 days on average).

About the brand

Crockett & Jones’ collection : ‘Hand Grade’ and ‘Main Line’ The ‘Hand Grade’ collection corresponds to the premium line of Crockett & Jones. Handcrafted from the most prestigious leather, the shoes are shaped to the natural contours of the foot, with an asymetric last, giving exceptionnal fitting qualities. Uppers are cut from the finest calf skins with a supple tannage provinding glove-like comfort. The dyes in the leather combined with an extensive hand polishing of the finished shoes, create a rich depth of colour, enhanced with age if regularly cared for. The outsoles are slowly tanned with natural oak barks, in the most traditional way to obtain superior comfort and flexibility. The outer stitches of these gorgeous shoes are invisible, and only appear once the shoes have been worn. Lonsdale and Egerton are part of the ‘Hand Grade’ collection. The ‘Main Line’ collection corresponds to a wide range of elegant styles for city wear, as well as country shoes and boots. This assortment of footwear with leather or Daininte rubber soles is made from the finest smooth leather, suede, or country grains.
