Whole population comparison
Extra Narrow: In comparison to the whole population, your feet are one of the narrowest (less than 5% of the population has such width).
Narrow Width: In comparison to the whole population, your feet are narrow.
Medium Width: In comparison to the whole population, your feet are medium-width.
Wide Width: In comparison to the whole population, your feet are wide.
Extra Wide: In comparison to the whole population, your feet are one of the widest (less than 5% of the population has such width).
Undestanding your results
Your foot measurements are compared to the entire population, regardless of gender or nationality. Currently, the program is only available for adult feet (kids’ measurements are coming soon)
We categorize foot width using percentiles, which are like markers on a scale.
- 5th percentile: The border between extra narrow and narrow
- 25th percentile: The border between narrow and medium
- 75th percentile: The border between medium and wide
- 95th percentile: The border between wide and extra wide
This means that the middle 50% of people have medium-width feet.
The width ranges for each category (narrow, medium, wide) vary on foot length and size range, but on average, they are about 4.3 mm for narrow, 6.2 mm medium, and 4.9 mm for wide.
Your results include two scales:
- Whole population comparison: This shows how wide your feet are compared to the entire population.
- Size range comparison: This shows your width within your length class (each length class is 5 mm, e.g., 267.5 mm - 272.5 mm).
If you fall below the narrowest segment or above the wide segment (in the purple area), it means your feet are extra narrow or extra wide - less than 5% of the population has such widths.
Example of use
If you fall at 0.40 on the scale, which is between 25% and 75%, your feet are of medium width. This means that 40% of people have narrower feet than you, and 60% have wider feet than you.
how your foot width is determined
Here's how it works: you entered your foot measurements, and our tool did the rest. It uses a special formula based on the width/length ratios of over 50 million feet from 58 countries worldwide to determine where your feet fall on the width scale. No complicated math required!
We included comparisons to both the whole population and your length class because people with shorter feet generally have wider feet than those with longer feet. Some barefoot brands consider this and make wider shoes in smaller sizes.
Currently, the program is only valid for adult feet-feet that have stopped growing. You can also use it for bigger kids who fit into adult sizes to help determine their current foot width for easier shoe selection.
Using Your Foot Width Info
Knowing your foot width can help you choose shoes that fit better and promote foot health. Many people find that their foot width differs from what they initially thought, often due to poor-fitting shoes. Use your measurements to find the right fit and ensure your feet can fully splay and move as they should.
When choosing barefoot shoes, we recommend comparing your foot dimensions with the size charts provided by the shoe brands. You can also use this information to find barefoot brands that fit you best. On our list, we usually provide information on which foot width each brand and model is suitable for, helping you make an informed choice.
