While taking measurement it is important to remember:

  • Another person's assistance during the measurement may prove useful.
  • The measurements should be taken in a standing position, while in the case of people who cannot walk - in a sitting position with a right angle under the knee.
  • Each foot should be measured separately.
  • In the case of footwear for already obtained inserts, the measurement should be taken with the insert placed under the foot.
  • In the case of footwear for orthoses, the measurement should be taken while wearing the orthosis.
  • Taking the measurement of foot circumference in orthoses, one should include straps, closures, hinges adding to the footwear's size.
  • The measurements should be provided in absolute terms, i.e. they should not be approximated, nor increased at one's discretion - in the shoe design process, all the necessary approximations will be included. 
  • Frontal and lateral photographs of the feet should be taken and attached to the order.
