No, that's not a dumb question! I think it's a common question and the reason a lot of people haven't added their measurements already! I have the soft measuring tape seamstresses use but you could use hard measuring tape, it would just take a little longer. Use a ribbon/thread/shoelace to measure the insole (along the contour) then measure that with your hard tape 
Sorry b00m, I meant to take measurements, but I realized my measuring tape, although soft, is too wide to make it to the very tip of the toe. I will have to see if I can find some string or ribbon.
Spreadsheet updated.
Showed it to DH (who now thinks we are absolute shoe geeks for having the spreadsheet. As if he didn't know that yet). He says we can plug in photos of each shoe style as well to make it easier to newcomers who aren't familiar with the shoe names.
I'll try to wrangle info on how to do that and update our spreadsheet.
Back to shopping!

Thank you.

Lol I tried that. Maybe I wasn't doing something right. The picture comes out pretty big. Hmm.. how about something like a document with a table of contents?
Great idea Noah! It's more organized that way (and easier to find!) I've combined our spreadsheets - I hope you don't mind! (If so, I can undo!) Thanks again for the idea!
