Tracing Instructions
To get the best results have someone trace your feet for you. We recommend that you find something a bit thicker than printer paper (the walls of old cereal boxes work great). We love to encourage creative re-purposing, but any normal heavier weight paper will work just as well. Please trace each foot on a separate piece as we'll be cutting them out.
Stand up straight, barefoot, and in a relaxed position with your feet at their most comfortable distance apart. For most people this is about shoulder width. Spread your toes, and then let them relax and try to remain relaxed throughout the tracing process, not moving until both feet have been traced completely. Keep your pen or pencil straight up and down as you follow the contours of the feet. If you have sensitive feet you may find that this tickles a bit. You can laugh all you want, but keep those feet still!
If you prefer to trace your own feet, kneel on one knee, barefoot, with your weight on the foot being traced, and on a hard smooth surface. A sturdy coffee table is perfect for this. Be sure that your toes are somewhat spread out, like they would extend when you take a step. Balance can be a bit tricky, so again, be careful while tracing not to move your foot.
Write your name, style / color preference, and your typical shoe size on each tracing. Mail us your tracings, place your order and rest easy knowing you're about to own a really great fitting pair of shoes.
