Online commerce has recently gained more and more popularity. Our compatriots are especially in demand for clothes and shoes purchased in English stores. Many women update their wardrobe here not only for themselves, but also for their children and husbands. And in order for a perfect purchase to bring only pleasure, you need to know how Russian and English shoe sizes compare .
In order not to make a mistake, it is necessary to measure the size of the foot. For this purpose, it is worth arming yourself with a ruler and attach it to the foot. Size is defined as the maximum distance between the extreme point of the heel and the most protruding finger. These data will allow you to compare Russian and English shoe sizes.
In Russia, millimeters are used as the unit of measurement, which for the convenience of customers is most often converted to centimeters. In England, manufacturers use inches. At the same time, the foot length characteristic of a newborn child is taken as a zero size. According to average statistics, this figure is 4 inches. To get the next size, you need to add 1/3 inch or 8.5 mm to the previous one. Knowing this, it will be possible to easily correlate Russian and English shoe sizes.
For the convenience of users, special tables have been compiled that allow you to determine the size of English shoes based on the length of the foot. This greatly simplifies the sequence of shoes or sandals.
It is worth noting that the English sizes of children's shoes differ from adults or even teenagers. Therefore, if you decide to buy gym shoes for your three-year-old daughter, it is better to be guided by the length of the foot, and not the calculated value. So, if your girl’s leg is 15 cm, then you will need to purchase size 7. For women's shoes, it will correspond to a foot equal to 265 mm. If during purchases you prefer the shtmassovaya system, then in the first example we are talking about children's sneakers about 24 sizes, and in the second about 40. However, the length of the foot in this case will be a more reliable way to choose the right pair.
It is also worth noting that the English shoe sizes of different manufacturers may vary slightly. In the event that you purchased sandals of one well-known brand, and the pair ideally “fit”, then before purchasing shoes of another company, it is advisable to study the size chart again. Quite often, there may be slight fluctuations in size, the presence of which can cause new shoes to sting you a little or fall off your feet.
The fullness of the legs deserves special attention. She, as you know, can be the most diverse. Many women, whose legs are quite full, refrain from shopping through the Internet precisely because there is a possibility that new sandals will not fit in full. It is better for such ladies to refuse online services and purchase a pair they like only after a careful fitting. Fortunately, today you can buy shoes of various manufacturers without leaving the borders of your hometown.
