How to Take Measurements for Custom Snakeskin Shoes

Thinking about upgrading your wardrobe with a unique and stylish pair of shoes? Python or crocodile skin footwear is an excellent choice—both original and comfortable. But before placing your order, it’s crucial to determine your correct size. Properly measured feet ensure a perfect fit and maximum comfort. Our step-by-step guide will make the process easy!

All of our shoes are custom-made to fit your exact measurements and preferences. Start by choosing your preferred model and leather shade. Consider whether you want your shoes with a platform or heel, and determine the ideal height. You’ll also need to decide on the lining material—fabric or soft calf leather. At Exotic Python, we offer both matte and glossy finishes, so you can select the look that suits you best.


How to Measure Your Feet Correctly

To take accurate measurements, you’ll need:
✔ A pencil
✔ A sheet of paper
✔ A measuring tape

Important! Never take measurements with extra space "just in case." The more precise they are, the better your shoes will fit.

1️⃣ Wear thin socks (if you plan to wear your shoes with socks).

2️⃣ Find a flat, even surface without bumps or slopes. Place a sheet of paper on the floor.

3️⃣ Stand firmly on the paper with your full weight evenly distributed. Avoid shifting your foot while tracing.

4️⃣ Hold the pencil straight up, perpendicular to the floor, and carefully trace the outline of your foot. This ensures the most accurate shape.

Following these steps will help guarantee a perfect, custom fit for your exotic leather shoes. Let us take care of the rest!
