Since we originally created a sizing guide a few years back a lot has changed. We've added new models, new brands, and started to include more nuance in how we recommend sizing.
It's time for us to make the Sizing Guide 2.0, one that will help you describe your unique feet in three dimensions, while still providing a concrete touchstone for your baseline sizing.
In order to do this, we would love to have photos illustrating a wide variety of foot shapes. This is where you come in: photo submissions!
Many people have shyness around their feet because we often cover them up, or because of societal standards of what feet "should" look like. Believe us when we say that we have seen many hundreds of feet and they are each unique!
Some are hairy, some are not. Some are pedicured, some have functional calluses. Some have scars or tattoos. Some have great alignment, but most have some whacky layout leftovers from conventional shoes such as bunions and hammertoes.
Not only will your photos help us describe what kind of shoes will suit different kinds of feet, but they will help normalize variety in what feet look like.
We realize that it's a big ask, and we want you to be comfortable if you intend on taking us up on this opportunity to empower our community.
By submitting your photos, you agree that we can use them for educational purposes in our blog, which is in the online public forum. Our blog's comments are always moderated, and our community is very supportive and respectful.
We will not be including your name or any other personal info in the Sizing Guide 2.0, it will just be the photo by itself. We may edit submitted photos for privacy, clarity, or to add notations, at our discretion.
We are requesting photo submissions from adult customers, with your informed consent. We will consider you to have given your consent to use your photos as described in this post if you submit them as described below.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by replying to the original submission email. If you have questions or concerns before of after submitting, please contact us so we can address them.
We'll be sending a coupon code to everyone who submits photos using the following guidelines to thank you for contributing to this resource.
Example
A photo demonstrating the shape of your feet from the top, down.
This will help us illustrate different widths, toe area shapes, and overall foot shapes.

How we took that photo:
Example: Outside Profile
Example: Inside Profile
Photos demonstrating the shape of your feet from the side. You can photograph the inside or the outside, and both is even better.
This will help us illustrate ways to describe the arches, heel shape, and different heights/volumes of feet.

Not everyone will be comfortable helping us with this project and that's completely understandable! By spreading the word you can help us build a great resource and help your circle access a great discount.
