Determining the correct size of Be Lenka and Barebarics barefoot shoes for your feet is a two-step process:
1. Measuring your feet
- Place a piece of paper on even ground (avoid plush carpeting or pebbly surfaces)
- Place your foot flat on the paper (you must be standing, not sitting, during measuring)
- Put your weight on your foot as it makes the foot longer
- Take a pencil and mark the heel and the furthest point from the heel – the longest measurement
- Use a ruler and measure the difference between these two points
- Do the same for the second foot (difference might be +/- 0.5 cm)
- The number you get is your foot size (not your shoe size, as standard shoe sizing may be misleading)
Take your foot size (the number you got when measuring both of your feet) then add 5 to 12 mm (the ideal leeway). The total is the final number you are looking for. The leeway can be up to 18 mm, but the shoe must still fit perfectly around your ankle.
In winter models, the leeway you choose can be larger, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Conversely, in summer sandals it can be smaller because of the open toe box and if you plan not to wear socks.
2. Comparing your feet measurements to the Be Lenka or Barebarics shoe size chart stated on each product page
- The size chart on each product page shows the inner length and width of the particular shoe model.
