Getting The Right FitUpdated 6 months ago
Unsure of your fit? Rest assured that you can successfully measure yourself from home in under 5 minutes (98% of people measure themselves correctly, and for the few who don't, you can still make a return or exchange. How great is that?!). Follow these simple steps and you'll be on your way to a comfortable fit that's universally applied to all our footwear.
If you're a Medium shoe size, you don't need to learn how to measure yourself for Poppy Barley shoes; our shoes fit true to size and are sold in standard US sizing. For any style specific fit notes check the product details box!
How To Measure Foot Size
We offer most of our products in Women's sizes 5 - 12. To see what styles are available in your size use the Filter function on our website!
If you are unsure of your foot size or between sizes we encourage you to measure your foot width to see if you've been sizing up or down to accommodate a wide or narrow foot.
The most reliable way to get an accurate foot size measurement is to be measured on a brannock. We recommend visiting a Poppy Barley store in Edmonton, Calgary or Vancouver, or head down to your local shoe store to get measured.
How To Measure Foot Width
While standing, measure the circumference around the ball of your foot at its widest point. Usually, this is from the bone just below your little toe to the bone just below your big toe. You measure the width of your foot while standing as this is when your foot is at its widest.
You can then compare your foot width to the widths for your foot size in our Foot Width Chart to see what width you need!
How To Measure Calf Width
In a seated position with your feet firmly on the floor and your legs bent at a 90-degree angle, wrap the measuring tape around the widest point of your calf.
To find the widest point of your calf, slide the measuring tape up and down your calf to confirm the widest point.
If you are over a calf girth measurement (e.g. 37.25 or 37.5 cm) we recommend you round up to the nearest calf girth measurement (38 cm) to make sure you can get your boots zipped up (once zipped up the leather will relax slightly with wear.) If you'd like to tuck jeans into your boots, measure yourself over your jeans.
General Measurement Tips
Always measure both feet and legs, as it's common to find a difference in measurements. Go with your larger measurement.
- For all measurements, ensure your measuring tape is snug, but not constricting.
