Measuring method

The STEITZ SECURA measuring method: precision that you can feel

Why most shoes don’t fit properly – and how we can change that

Choosing the right safety shoe begins with determining your exact shoe size. But many people are familiar with the problem: you have your feet measured, select a model in your determined size – and yet the shoe still doesn’t fit perfectly. It pinches, feels too tight, too loose, or doesn’t provide enough support.

In most cases, the issue lies not with your feet, but with the measuring method itself.

Traditional methods – such as measuring with a length bar on a board – can determine foot length but overlook crucial factors. In particular, foot width and the dynamic behaviour of the foot while walking are rarely taken into account.

The innovation from STEITZ SECURA: the measuring-cup system

STEITZ SECURA is therefore taking a deliberately different approach. Our proprietary measuring system uses specially designed measuring cups that realistically simulate the actual fit of a shoe. When the foot enters the measuring cup, it behaves exactly as it will later inside the shoe. This means:

The result: precise, practical foot measurement that goes far beyond the limitations of conventional methods.

Four widths for maximum comfort: S, NB, XB and XXB

At STEITZ SECURA, we don’t just offer a range of lengths for each model – we also offer four different widths:

S – Slim // NB – Normal width // XB – Extra wide // XXB – Extra extra wide

This variety ensures that the ideal fit can be found for every foot – whether slim, average or particularly wide. Especially when it comes to safety footwear, which is often worn for many hours at a time, the right fit can make a significant difference in comfort.

Why does this matter so much?

An ill-fitting shoe is not just uncomfortable – it can also:

• lead to pressure points or blisters,
• negatively affect posture,
• cause pain in the knees, back or hips,
• reduce concentration and performance during the working day.

That’s why STEITZ SECURA focuses on ergonomic solutions that make a tangible difference in everyday life – starting with the perfect fit.

STEITZ SECURA stands for precision – from the very first step

Our philosophy is simple: only by truly understanding the complexity of the foot can we create footwear that fits perfectly. Our measuring-cup system embodies this belief – and forms the foundation for exceptional comfort.
