How To Find Your Perfect Fit
At Happifeet, we want you to adapt to your true self without the need to fit in. We apply this same concept when trying on footwear. Why try to force your feet into a shoe that is not a true representation of you and your foot type? You will just be left feeling disappointed and uncomfortable. Let us help your feet to adapt to their true selves and fit them into something they are happy with. Happy feet = happy human.
Our range of footwear is specifically selected by our podiatrists and has been tested personally to ensure it caters for a variety of foot types, activities and different populations. We have something for everyone! Additionally, we personally fit them for you by measuring your foot length, width and depth to ensure we get an optimal fit.
Unable to come in-store and get your shoes fitted by a professional?
That’s okay, we have you covered! Happifeet’s podiatrists have constructed an easy to follow 6-point fit guide to assist you when trialling shoes on your own.
To ensure an optimal fit, use Happifeet’s 6-point fit guide below when trying on your shoes at home, in-store or at the shops.
Length
10 – 15 mm between longest toe and end of shoe.
Width
Remove the insole & match to the widest portion of your foot – usually the forefoot between 1st and 5th toe joints.
Toe box
Area surrounding toes should be round, high and shaped like the foot to allow for toe movement during gait. Wriggling your toes should feel unrestricted.
Heel Counter/ Collar
Should be firm and preferably high to keep the heel in position and prevent heel slippage.
Midsole & Outsole
Should allow for adequate shock absorption and have sufficient grip to prevent slipping.
Adjustability
Should have a fastening mechanism to provide a secure and more customisable fit to hold the foot in the shoe firmly. For example, velcro straps or laces.
