How do I find my shoe size
Maryland Square has many brand name shoes in sizes 4-14 and in widths from AAAA (4A) - EEEE (4E). For ordering, if you are familiar with the brand, order the size you would usually buy. To shop by your size and width, use our easy search tool Find Your Size. You may also use our advanced product search tool to shop by color, style, brand, and price if desired.

Women's shoe width guidelines.
•B width is a medium (M) width; this is the regular or average width.
•A, AA, AAA, etc. are narrow widths, the more "A's" the narrower the shoe, every A decreases the width by ¼ inch.
•D, E, EE, etc. are wide width shoes, for every letter you go up ¼ inch is added to the width, also for every extra "E" (i.e. E to EE) an extra ¼ inch is added.
•The letters "D", "W", "EE", and "WW" refer to the width of the foot, not the size of the calf.

Heel height guidelines Heel heights are measured to the inside of the heel as shown here. Heel heights are also determined by the size of the shoe. As the shoe gets larger, the heel gets proportionately higher. In other words, the heel on a size 6 will not be as high as a heel on a size 11.

Unsure of your shoe size or your exact size is not offered?
Maryland Square offers these suggestions:
•Shoes sizes increase ¼ inch for every half size. A size 8 ½ shoe is ¼ inch longer than a size 8 shoe.
•A proper fitting shoe should have approximately ½ to ¾ of an inch from the end of your toe to the end of the shoe.

How do I measure my foot? Be sure to measure both feet and fit to the larger foot.
To measure the length:
•Measure the foot from the heel to the tip of the longest toe using a ruler or tape measure.
To measure the width:
•Use a tape measure to wrap your foot at the largest part of the foot so it fits comfortably without any gaps. Maryland Square does have a sizing guide available. Maryland Square can send you a measuring chart to use in the convenience of your home if you e-mail us your request at service@marylandsquare.com.

Other Fit Tips:
•If you need a ½ size, and one is not offered, order the next size up (i.e. need 9 ½, order 10)
•If you need a narrow width and a narrow is not available, you may want to order one ½ size down.
•If you need a wide width and a wide is not available, you may want to order ½ size up.
•If one foot is larger than the other, order for the larger foot.
•Some manufacturers only offer their shoes in European or UK sizes. Here, Maryland Square helps you by translating foreign sizes into American, with a sizing chart for that style.
•If a style is not running true to size, Maryland Square will provide a fit recommendation.
