Recommended Sizing for the kybun Footwear with Wide Soles

A lot of footwear is produced in a medium width, so many consumers learn to settle on the size that generally fits the width of their feet, even if they end up being a bit too long. But because many kybun shoes come in an extra wide (4E) width and so can accommodate virtually any foot if selected primarily on the basis of length, kybun's general advice is to actually measure the length of your foot and use their look-up table to determine which size you need, rather than just going by your usual choices. In some cases, you may find it is a half or even a full U.S. size smaller than you are accustomed to, but it will be a comfortable fit, nevertheless.

The sizing method kybun recommends is thus to:

1) Measure your foot from the back of the heel bone to the very tip of the longest toe (on the largest foot, if there is a difference) ...by placing two sheets of paper (or some other flat material you can draw a line on) at least as big as your feet on the floor immediately in front of a door or a wall, oriented so you can stand on them; taking your shoes off; and, wearing socks of the same thickness you'd normally wear with this style of footwear, standing upright on top of each sheet, placing your full weight on both feet, with the backs of your feet flush with the door/wall; having someone else draw a line (because our feet can shorten when we bend over) along the front of the longest toe (which is usually, but not always the big toe) of each foot; and then measuring the length from those lines to the bottom of the sheets with a ruler or tape measure.

2) Then simply look up length of your largest foot in this table, and find the recommended U.S. or European size on the adjacent columns.
