Size Guide – How to Choose Your Sandal Size

Size Guide – How to Choose Your Sandal Size

Finding the perfect pair of sandals isn’t just about style — it starts with choosing the right size. A well-fitted sandal supports your feet, prevents discomfort, and ensures you walk with confidence all day long. Whether you’re shopping online or in-store, understanding your size can make a world of difference in comfort, durability, and the overall wearing experience.

At Greentech, we craft footwear that’s designed for the Indian foot — comfortable, true to size, and built for everyday movement. This guide will help you choose your correct sandal size with ease, so you can enjoy the perfect fit every time.

1. Why Choosing the Right Sandal Size Matters

Wearing the correct size isn’t just a matter of comfort. It impacts your overall foot health and the life of the footwear.

Better Support
A proper fit ensures your foot rests naturally on the footbed, giving you stability throughout the day.

Prevents Pain & Fatigue
The wrong size can cause friction, blisters, and pressure points.

Longer Life for Your Sandal
Sandals last longer when they’re not overstretched or worn unevenly.

Improves Posture
A good fit helps with natural foot alignment, benefiting your posture and stride.

2. How to Measure Your Foot at Home

You don’t need any special tools — just a paper sheet, a pencil, a measuring scale, and 2 quiet minutes.

Step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Place your foot on a sheet of paper

Stand naturally with your full weight on the foot you’re measuring.

Step 2: Trace your foot

Use a pencil to outline your foot from heel to toe.

Step 3: Measure the length

Use a scale to measure from the tip of your longest toe to the back of your heel.

Step 4: Repeat for the other foot

Most people have slightly different foot sizes. Always choose the size of the larger foot.

Step 5: Compare with size charts

Brands differ slightly in sizing. Always refer to the official size chart before buying.

If you’re buying from Greentech, our sizes are made to match standard Indian foot measurements — comfortable, accurate, and easy to choose.

3. Understanding Sandal Fit: What the Perfect Fit Should Feel Like

Different footwear types fit differently. Here’s how to check if a sandal fits you well:

1. Your heel stays comfortably on the footbed: Your heel should neither hang out nor have a large gap.

2. Toes should not cross the edge: Your toes should rest naturally within the sandal border.

3. Straps should feel snug, not tight: Straps that squeeze can cause discomfort and marks; loose straps cause instability.

4. You should be able to walk without slipping: If your foot slides forward while walking, go down one size or choose a design with better hold.

5. The sandal should support your arch: Especially important for long days or daily wear.

4. Decoding Indian Sandal Sizes

Indian footwear sizing differs slightly from European and UK sizing. Here’s a quick overview to help you choose correctly:

  • Most Indian brands follow UK sizing

  • Greentech sandal sizes follow the Indian/UK scale

  • EU sizes are one number higher than UK (e.g., UK 5 = EU 38)

If you are between sizes, here’s what to do:

  • For open-toe sandals → Choose your regular size

  • For closed-back sandals → Choose the larger size

  • For wide feet → Choose one size up if your usual size feels snu

5. Tips to Ensure the Best Fit (Especially When Buying Online)

Buying sandals online is convenient — but only when you know how to pick the correct size. Here are smart tips:

Tip 1: Check the brand’s size chart

Each brand fits differently. Always compare your foot length with the chart.

Tip 2: Read product descriptions

Look for terms like “true to size,” “narrow fit,” or “broad fit.”

Tip 3: Look at sandal design

Certain styles fit differently:

  • Slip-ons: Choose exact size

  • Strappy sandals: Choose exact size

  • Slides with broad uppers: Go up one size if you have a wide foot

  • Heels: Choose exact or half-a-size up (comfort matters!)

Tip 4: Consider your foot shape

Your foot may be:

  • Broad → size u

  • Narrow → stick to exact size

  • High arch → select sandals with soft cushioning

 Tip 5: Try them at home

Walk around on a clean floor to check comfort, grip, and fit.

6. Common Sizing Mistakes to Avoid

Many people choose the wrong sandals simply because of guesswork. Avoid these common errors:

  • Choosing the same size across all brands

  • Ignoring foot length and relying only on shoe labels

  • Wearing too-small sandals for aesthetics

  • Forgetting that feet expand slightly by evening

  • Ignoring foot width

  • Assuming EU and UK sizes are the same

When in doubt, follow measurements — not assumptions.
