How to determine women's shoe size

Shoes for women serve as clothing for the feet and, at the same time, decoration. They are scrupulous and picky about buying new things. They have countless pairs in their wardrobes.

It's hard to imagine a woman wearing ugly boots. Modern boutiques have a huge selection of types and colors. Boots, shoes, sandals, flip flops, sneakers... the list goes on for a long time. Every year new names and types appear in fashion. Winter, demi-season, Summer shoes. In heels, flat sole

The materials used to make shoes are of varying quality. Rubber, leather, suede, leather substitute. Fashionistas pay attention to color, heel, composition. Especially on the Internet. When girls see attractive boots, they don’t hesitate to throw the product into the cart. Having put it on, they are disappointed. The boots didn't fit. The fingers press, or, conversely, the fingers press. You need to know the size that suits you to avoid problems.

It is recommended to take foot measurements in the evening. At this time, the limbs get tired, trampled, and swell. Use a measuring tape, pencil and paper. Lay the sheet out on a flat floor and place your foot on it. You need to stand straight, leaning on two legs. Take a pencil and trace it around.

If you plan to wear your purchase with a sock, wear one. Or, indent the line 0.5 cm to the side. Consider the thickness of the sock. In winter frosts, boots are worn with thick woolen toes. Spring boots are thin, and shoes are worn with a nylon footprint.

Remove your foot from the sheet. Using a tape or ruler, measure the distance from the heel point to the most protruding point thumb. Do the same action with the second leg. It is necessary. Each person's left and right feet are different. It happens insignificantly, but when buying a new thing, one shoe will be great. Choose a larger value. Round the result to 5 mm and record.

There is another way to calculate foot length. Place the tape on the floor and place your foot on it. Take chalk or a piece of soap and make one mark near the long toe, the second - from the heel. Remove the leg and record the result. This method can be inaccurate, so it is better to use a sheet of paper.

For example, leg length 25 cm. Accordingly, buy domestic shoes in size 38. European 39. Looking carefully at the diagram, it is not difficult to understand that these manufacturers differ in one number. American parameters for 30 units: 38– 30=8. It's hard to remember. Therefore, before choosing shoes, consult the registry.

How to determine men's shoe size

Men need shoes just as much as women. Their attitude towards shoes is a little simpler. Guys don't consider legwear as decoration. Rather, it is an essential item. Although, the creators are also trying to come up with ideas for them beautiful options: shoes, sneakers, sneakers, boots. For different weather conditions and events.

With the advent of virtual stores, the problem of going to boutiques has been solved for men. To buy a new thing, just place an order online. They try to make a quick order, and rarely pay attention to the manufacturers' markings. Their measurement systems differ. Identical models can be produced in different factories.

After receiving a purchase, a person is disappointed. For men the main thing is quality shoes - comfort. A small or narrow pair will not fit your feet. The big one will fly off, wobble and look strange. Therefore, knowing your leg size matters.

You can find out the size of your feet yourself. Place your foot on a blank sheet of paper. Trace the foot with a writing object and remove the foot. Using a ruler, measure from your heel to the point of your big toe. This will be your Russian norm. The other leg also needs to be measured. They may differ by several millimeters. Lean towards a higher number.

Foot width is rarely specified in the measurement system. This is explained by the fact that most companies make shoes from modern, soft materials. Consequently, the products stretch. Their width is universal.

Consider the time of day to take measurements. During the day, the size of the foot changes. It is not recommended to do this in the morning or afternoon. Evening is the right time.

Remember the result. You can save it in your phone's memory and use it at any time. For example, your foot size is 29 cm, which means your shoe size is 44. By Russian standards, it is not difficult to determine the markings of foreign analogues.

Refer to the table. Japanese companies put the number exactly on the value: 29 = 29, etc. The European system differs from ours by one unit in a larger direction: 44 + 1 = 45. England indicates numbers expressed in inches. For size 44, 10.5 would be correct. The scheme is designed in such a way that you do not need to do the calculations yourself. Just look at the graph horizontally.

Buy sports and insulated shoes one size larger. Because it is worn with a sock.

People buy shoes based on their appearance, quality, and attractiveness. Not everyone thinks about the right size. And this is the main thing you should pay attention to.

Girls buy shoes for decorative purposes, without thinking about comfort and health. Subsequently, they “reap the fruits” of their indiscretion. You need to approach the choice of shoes responsibly and seriously. In regular stores there is an opportunity to dress and walk around. Look at the feeling and buy.

Detailed tables will become your assistants when visiting virtual stores. On your part, you need to learn how to take measurements correctly and find your norm.

How to measure a child's foot length

You need to measure the length of your child's feet. This can be done with a regular ruler. It is best to place the child’s foot on a sheet of paper (A4 format is about 30cm long) and mark two points - at the heel and at the longest toe, as shown in the figure. After this, it is enough to measure the distance between these points and we will get the length of the foot.

Please note that the longest finger is not necessarily the little finger. Depending on the structure of the foot, this may be the second or third toe.

We find the measured foot length in the table and in the corresponding line we determine the size we need.

On Aliexpress, in most cases the US shoe size is indicated. As a rule, the seller lays out a table for converting foot length to shoe size in the product description. But you can completely trust such tables only as a last resort. We recommend doing the following:

1. choose the necessary shoes;
2. measure the length of the child’s foot (how to do this is written above);
3. write a message to the seller indicating your foot length and asking them to choose the correct size.

In this case, you will receive the product that best suits your child.

Please note that US sizes 1-7 begin to repeat starting at 32. Keep this in mind when ordering and check the required size with the seller.

A child's foot is a more subtle issue. Firstly, it grows quickly, not only in length, but also in breadth. Secondly, the skin of children is much more delicate than that of adults, which means that small feet require space and breathing - for this, manufacturers often add an additional 0.8-1 along the length of the insole, especially when it comes to shoes for the cold season . Thirdly, with all this, boots, shoes, sandals must fit tightly enough, providing the foot with the necessary support.

Therefore, responsible parents approach the selection of shoe sizes for a child or teenager most carefully. Let's figure out how to simplify and make this choice more accurate.

How to measure a child's foot length

An important note: it is advisable to measure your feet at least once every 2-3 months, even if you do not plan to buy shoes right now. This way you can get an idea of ​​the dynamics of foot growth specifically in your baby and prevent annoying mistakes with the size.

Yes, we remind you: up to the age of 3 years, the leg grows at a rate of 2-3 sizes per year. From 3 to 6 years - approximately 2 sizes. IN school years- by 1-2 sizes annually.

So, having realized the importance of getting it to size, we arm ourselves with a blank sheet of paper, a pencil or fountain pen, a ruler and measure.

1. Ask your child to place his right foot on a piece of paper and trace it. Keep your pencil or pen strictly vertical! Repeat with the left.

2. Using a ruler, measure the distance from the center of the heel to the extreme point of the big toe. On the right and left legs, the results may differ (sometimes the difference reaches 6-10 mm!). When choosing a size, be guided by for greater results.

Important points when measuring:

• take measurements in the afternoon - preferably in the late afternoon. Usually by the end of the day the leg swells a little and increases in size;
• if you intend to purchase closed shoes (boots, shoes, etc.), measure the length of the foot in the sock;
• When measuring, the child should stand, leaning on the leg whose size you are interested in. The foot under load becomes longer and wider.

The result of this operation is that you will receive the shoe size in the so-called metric system, in millimeters or centimeters. But this result is rather intermediate. The fact is that not all manufacturers use the metric system, in which the shoe size is equal to the actual length of the foot. For example, it is quite popular in Japan, but you are unlikely to make online purchases in the Land of the Rising Sun.

But in the West (as in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Kazakhstan) other sizing systems are more common.

How to choose the size of shoes for a child

This question is no less important than the question of size. After all, children's feet are of different widths, which means that shoes that are ideal for one child will dangle on the feet of another or squeeze a third, although all the kids seem to wear the same size.

Unfortunately, the child himself often cannot clearly say whether the shoes are pressing on him or not. The fact is that a layer of fat remains on a child’s foot, which reduces sensitivity, and therefore the baby simply does not feel how the sandals or boots are pinching, deforming the foot.

Dealing with the width of a particular child’s feet is the task of his parents. We'll show you how to do this.

Children's shoes are available in five types of completeness within each size:

• Narrow - designated as N
• Medium - M
• Wide - X
• X-Wide - XW
• XX-Wide (Well, very wide!) - XXW

European designations are also possible:

• C - very, very narrow foot
• D - very narrow foot
• E - narrow foot
• F - foot in Central European fullness
• G - foot slightly wider than average European
• H - wide foot

When purchasing shoes for your child, be sure to look at the corresponding index letters (they are usually located next to the size designation). If there is no letter, it is assumed by default that the shoe is designed for a medium, standard foot.

There are two types of sizing scales for children's shoes in use in Russian stores - a scale in millimeters and the so-called European scale. The first type of children's shoe sizes corresponds to the length of the child's foot in millimeters and the size range goes every 5 mm. The size in millimeters is typical for original Russian manufacturers; it can be found on booties, slippers, sandals, orthopedic shoes, rubber boots. For example, size 190 corresponds to a foot length of 19 cm = 190 mm.

The most common type of children's shoe sizes in our country is found in most modern Russian manufacturers and European manufacturers of children's shoes. We show the correspondence of sizes to foot length in centimeters in the tables below.

Booties come in sizes up to 20; a child’s first shoes are usually bought in sizes 18-19. This type of leg grows closer to 10-11 months, when the child begins to walk.

Different models of children's shoes differ in the fullness and instep of the foot. If the model is too narrow, then it is better to choose another one. The same goes for lifting. Shoes must be comfortable for the child, otherwise he will not be able to take long walks in them.

How to choose the right shoe size for your child

Foot length is measured from the heel to the tip of the big toe when the child is standing. It is better to trace the outline of the foot on paper and measure the length of the foot using the paper. It is important to measure the foot when the child is standing and not sitting, otherwise the size will be underestimated. But, if the baby does not walk yet, then the size for the booties can be removed while lying down.

Children's shoes are chosen one size larger than the length of the foot. Winter shoes take one or two sizes larger in order to be able to wear warm tights and woolen socks, and also so that this pair of shoes will last until the end of the winter season, for five months (the foot is growing all the time). Also chosen are skates, roller skates and ski boots.

You can make sure that closed shoes do not pinch your baby by removing the insole and placing it on the child’s foot or by measuring the length of the insole.
It is best, if possible, to try on shoes before purchasing. Put your baby's shoes on and ask him to walk. Ask him: “Do you like it?” If he answers “yes”, then he is comfortable in the new shoes. To compare the baby’s reaction, try on two or three pairs, not too many, so that the baby doesn’t get tired.

Topics of the material

Now on the shelves of regular and online stores you can see shoes of both Russian and imported origin. And at the same time, many buyers are baffled by incomprehensible size markings printed in a foreign style using letters or numbers. Not everyone knows which Russian size is identical to European 6, what the “B” marking means, etc.

It's good if you make a purchase in a boutique where you are surrounded by a crowd of salespeople who want to help you choose new boots. But what should clients of online markets or budget chain retail outlets do in this situation, where sales consultants, as a rule, cannot be found during the day?

Everything is very simple. Special “conversion” tables will help you understand the variety of size markings and their compliance. Russian size in the American, English and European style.

For convenience, you can go to the desired section:

Matching shoe sizes

If in Russia it is customary to measure the length of the foot in centimeters, then in other countries it is determined using pins (2/3 cm) or inches (2.54 cm).

Most often, shoe manufacturers whose products are presented in stationary and online stores use 5 types of size markings: Russian, American, English, Japanese and European.

Knowing the length of your foot, you can easily determine what size it corresponds to.

Men's shoe size chart

Women's shoe size chart

When buying imported shoes, you can often see the letters A, B, C, E next to the size... They mean the width of the last, that is, the fullness of the foot for which the product is designed. Here A is the narrowest block, and E or F is the widest. B is the standard foot width that generally suits most people.

In some cases, the fullness of the foot can be marked using numbers from 1 to 8 or 12. The higher the number, the “fuller” the foot for which the shoe is designed.

Children's shoe sizes

The same sizing rules apply to children's and teenagers' shoes. When making a purchase, you also need to measure your child’s feet and check the special tables.

Rules for determining shoe size

First of all, you need to take into account that shoes from many manufacturers are not always made to the standard sizes. And if shoes marked “39” that you recently bought in a store fit you, then it’s far from a fact that you will be comfortable in shoes with the same mark from another manufacturer. And it is likely that when buying shoes or boots from other companies, after trying them on, you will end up with size 38 or 40 rather than 39.

Therefore, when making purchases in online stores, as well as when determining your European, English or American size, try to focus not on your Russian size, but on the length of your foot.

To do this, you first need to measure it correctly:

• Carry out the procedure in the evening, when your legs are a little tired and swollen. This will help you more accurately determine the size and buy shoes in which you will be comfortable at any time of the day;
• Be sure to measure both legs. The length of a person’s feet can vary by several millimeters, and when determining the size you need to focus on the larger figure;
• To measure in the evening, stand on a piece of paper and outline your feet with a pencil. After this, measure the distance from the big toe to the heel, as shown in the figure;

Remember that measurements must be made using a ruler or a new measuring tape, since an old measuring tape that has been in use for a long time may give inaccurate information due to the fact that you have stretched it or, on the contrary, it has shrunk over time.

Now, knowing the length of your feet, you can easily navigate the tables for determining shoe size.

When using these tables, be sure to keep in mind that here are generally accepted, so to speak, standard size ratios. However, it often happens that manufacturers change them a little. Therefore, if you do not have the opportunity to try on the boots or boots that you have chosen in the online store, check the size chart of the manufacturer of the shoes you want to purchase.
