Measure Your Feet
You will need: 2 sheets of thin A4 paper (one for each foot), a sharp pencil, a dressmakers tape measure, a friend and the socks (or no socks) you intend to wear with your shoes. You must follow our PDF instructions here
Step 1: Find a flat solid surface (not carpet) and stand naturally with one foot on each piece of paper, do 1 at a time if you find it easier.
Step 2: Ask your friend to draw around one foot at a time with a sharp pencil keeping the pencil completely upright at all times, especially at the heel. If you have drawn more than 1 line around the foot please cross out the line you do not want us to use for measuring. It will not be completely accurate if you do it yourself.
Step 3: Lift your toes up and slide the tape measure underneath the widest point of the foot. Measure the circumference of the foot at the widest part. Write this measurement down in millimeters and pop a line on the drawing where the measurement was taken.
Step 4: Please also make notes on your drawings of:
Your name
Your contact details
Your usual shoe size
What you’d like to order
If you have any problems buying shoes
Step 5: To get the most accurate sizing please post your original drawings to us at Conker Shoes, 28 High Street, Totnes, Devon, TQ9 5RY, UK. If you would like to send them via email please make sure they are photo copied accurately and to size. Please make sure you pop your foot length measurement on there too so we can check the drawings are accurate once they are printed. To measure your foot length simply stand with your feet against a flat hard surface (a wall) and mark where your longest toe lands. Measure the distance between the wall and the toe in millimeters.
Frequently asked questions
We can make most of our styles in UK size 1 – 13 (including 1/2 sizes) and 4 different fittings, C (very narrow/shallow), D (narrow), E (standard), and F (wide).
If you have different sized feet we can make different sized shoes.
If you need a bespoke fit, for example, extra width in certain areas or an extra wide toe box we can do this for you.
We only make the styles listed on our website, we do not make bespoke styles or copy other brands.
Bespoke Fit Service
We can modify our patterns to accommodate minor alterations, giving you a little extra ‘here and there’ where you need it. We offer this modified fit service for £45 – £125 (price depends on the modification needed) over the price of a standard size. For a bespoke pair of shoes, it is best to visit us in person so we can get the best fitting possible for you, if you can’t visit us we may be able to do this from your foot drawings depending on what is needed. Please note that there is a chance we are unable to make you a pair of shoes if the fitting is too complicated.
