Flip Flop Size Guide
First things first, let's get those measurements sorted. We provide a convenient flip flop size guide designed for specific foot sizes. Having precise measurements is crucial, whether you are getting sized up for yourself or your child. After all, there is nothing more frustrating than flip-flops that are a little too tight or too loose.
Tips to Measure Your Feet
Now, onto the nitty-gritty of measuring your feet. So, grab a couple of sheets of paper and follow these simple steps:
- Timing is Key: Measure your feet in the evening when they're at their largest.
- Find a Flat Surface: Lay those sheets of paper on the floor, creating a stable surface to stand on.
- Stand Tall: Position yourself upright against a wall, ensuring your heels are firmly pressed against it.
- Measure Width and Length: Use a trusty pencil to mark the outermost points of the balls of your feet for width and the longest toe for length. And remember, accuracy is key here.
- Find the Perfect Size: After measuring the width and length of your feet, add them to the size calculator available on our site.
How Should Flip Flops Fit and What Size Flip Flop Should I Get?
Once you've got your flip flops picked out, it's time to ensure they fit like they were custom-made for you:
- Footbed Finesse: Step onto the footbed and check the fit. Your toes should have just the right amount of wiggle room without hanging over the edge. If there's too much space or your toes feel cramped, it's back to the drawing board.
- Lower and Upper Strap Adjustment: Now, let's talk about those straps. For the lower strap, aim for around 5mm of space between it and the arch of your foot. As for the upper strap, adjust it to allow approximately 10mm of space for optimal comfort.
How to Size Flip Flops
Once you have taken a few test steps in your new flip flops, stop to readjust the straps. They ought to feel comfortable yet not tight. If you have to make slight adjustments, there's no need to be concerned. Discovering the ideal match may require some experimentation.
