Experts also say that if you don’t want any guesswork involved in determining your shoe's size then go for subjective means like heeled shoes generally run larger than flats or boots.

This method is also used to determine how much a shirt will fit around the chest/bust area (for both men and women) if you want to know the sizes.

This measurement can also be used to determine if your new pair of shoes are too small or too big in reference to its label. Some people get quite accurate with this method, while others need a little help on getting things right.

The method described in here is just a rough guide in doing this process and can be used as reference only so that no mistake should be made while using it. To do this, follow these steps:
The first step in measuring the height from heel to toe of your shoe is to place a ruler (or something similar) on the ground.
Make sure that it is flat and straight. The height of the shoe from heel to toe should be measured from its sole.

So place it flat on the ground and keep it straight by setting something like a book or a phone book on it so that it doesn’t bend.

The next step is to take the shoe and position it on top of your ruler/straight edge, right beside its heel which should be placed at the end of your ruler/straight edge now. It can be difficult to know how to size your shoe size.Most people don't have a ruler with them and if you're in line at the store or wherever, it's usually not possible or safe to open up the box of shoes and measure them.
This article will go through steps on how to figure out the size of an unmarked shoe by measuring a pair of your own shoes.

This method should work for most shoe sizes and has been confirmed as accurate by some users on reddit's r/fitness subreddit.

The method does work, but it is not 100% accurate. The estimate may be off by up to two sizes, so if you are looking to buy shoes, be sure to ask someone for the correct size.

Step 1: Get a sheet of paper or 4x6 index card. You will want something about the length of your foot, not including the toes but including the heel.

Mark one end at "0", and then mark 1/4" marks from the other end up. If you have a ruler that can measure down to 1/16" increments yet still be visible, you can use that too instead of this method.Step 2: Put the sheet of paper or index card on the floor and stand on it. You will want to make sure your bare foot is as close to perpendicular with your leg as possible, to ensure you are measuring against the shoe accurately.Step 3: Measure along the paper from the tip of your toe to where it would be in a shoe. Be careful not to bend your toe so that you are including it's length in the measurement. Do all this for one foot for accuracy, and then add about 1/4" just to be safe (shoes sometimes come a little bigger than actual size). This will be your starting length, "1".
