Sizing Instructions
Please follow these quick and simple instructions to help insure a proper fit, which ultimately creates a more pleasant purchasing experience. Do not attempt to trace your feet alone, please have someone assist you to insure accuracy.
Steps to take for an accurate tracing
| 1. Stand down barefoot on a piece of paper that is on a solid flat surface. |  |
| 2. Then with the help of a friend using a pen or pencil, trace the outline of each foot, being sure to keep the instrument perpendicular to the floor. |  |
| 3. Complete another barefoot tracing of each foot on separate sheets of paper so that you will now have two sets of tracings. | |
| Your completed tracing should look similar to this. (Lathrop & Sons asks that customers do not use a marker.) |  |
After you have completed these steps you should have two tracings for each foot.
Lathrop & Sons has also begun using digital photographs to further increase the fitting accuracy.
Steps to take for an accurate and beneficial picture.
*Be sure to be standing during all pictures.
*For best results have a friend take the pictures.
| 1. Wear a pair of shorts or pants that can be rolled up past the knee. |
|
| 2. For the first and second picture hold the camera above each foot making sure to capture the forefoot and ankle. | |
| 3. For the next picture capture the inside (arch) of each foot. |  |
| Next, take one picture of the outside of both feet. |  |
| Finally, take one picture of the back side of each foot, making sure to get the detail of your achilles tendon and the heel. |  |
Lathrop & Sons calibrates each tracing and scrutinizes each photo for sizing accuracy and to determine problematic areas.
