The right size matters
The importance of properly fitting footwear is often underestimated or overlooked, yet it’s an issue for everyone — especially for people with diabetes, neuropathy, or diabetic foot syndrome. Poorly fitting shoes can cause blisters, injuries, and various other foot problems. For diabetics and anyone prone to foot issues, wearing the right shoes is even more essential.
Measuring your feet at home
When measuring your feet, follow these simple rules:
Measure your feet in the evening, when they reach their maximum size after a full day.
Measure while wearing socks.
Stand while measuring, keeping about 10 cm between your feet.
Measure both feet — use the larger measurement for shoe sizing.
For more accuracy, ask someone to assist you.
Stand on cardboard or paper with your heel touching a wall at a right angle. It’s best if someone helps you trace your feet with a marker.
Make sure the pen or marker stays upright while tracing.
Measure the length from the heel to the longest toe and add 3 mm for comfort.
Measure the width as the distance between the widest points of your foot and also add 3 mm. Use the larger value from both feet when selecting your size.
From your measured lengths and widths, select the largest values and record them in millimeters.
In our size chart, find your corresponding foot length in millimeters and use it to determine your shoe size.
Please note: the Diawin size chart is specifically adapted and may not match standard shoe sizes.
If your measurements fall between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size.
Once you’ve identified your correct size, check the row for that size to see the width options — Medium, Wide, and Extra Wide — and choose the one that best fits your foot.
