In search of the best things, an increasing number of people from the countries of the former Soviet Union are paying attention to clothes and shoes from Western countries: many European and American brands are held in high esteem . The only problem with such purchases is the correct selection of size, because delivery from America is long enough, and it’s not advisable to pay for the shipment several times if it is necessary to replace it.
In order to choose the right size for you, it is better to first take measurements of the legs. It is quite simple to do this: place your foot on a piece of paper, draw a pen or pencil around its outline and simply measure with a ruler the length of the drawn foot.
It is on the received number of centimeters that your shoe size will depend. The USA, for example, also produces half sizes. Therefore, it is not worth focusing on the size adopted in our country.
If you are buying shoes for the first time and don’t know which size of US shoe is right for you, then use the popular correspondence tables that show the sizes of US-Russia shoes.
The size of US shoes is more adapted to the length of the foot than the accepted sizes in our country. But even if, after all the measurements, you still doubt, before buying, specify the insole length, height of rise and width of the model you have chosen. This is what will save you from possible setbacks.
It is also important to choose the right shoe size not only for adults, but also for children. Of course, many when buying are guided by the principle of "big - not small", believing that it is better to buy shoes several sizes larger. Such people believe that the baby will still grow to the right size, and it's not scary if you put on more shoes on him. But the opinion is wrong.
For example, you liked children's shoes, and you decided to choose a larger size, hoping that their child will have enough for 2 seasons. But, forcing the baby to wear shoes 1-2 sizes larger than it should be, you not only spoil his foot, but also increase the likelihood of injuries: in large boots it is much easier to stumble and fall. The baby can grow to the size of your winter boots you choose by July, and by the next winter they will already be small. It is better to choose shoes or boots no more than +1 US shoe size to existing.
When selecting models, it is necessary to take into account the fact that in America children's shoes are divided into 3 categories: from 0 to 1 year, from 1 to 5 and from 6 to 10 years. Each category has its own, children's sizes of US shoes, while each of them corresponds to a specific foot length of the child. It is necessary to measure it as well as in adults, simply by circling a leg on a sheet of paper.
Even if you are sure that you have chosen the right size, but you have never encountered the brand you like before, it’s best to check on the website whether the size corresponds exactly to the table. And if you decide to purchase shoes from the United States through such joint purchases that are popular in our time, ask the organizer to clarify these data or measure the insole with a ruler if he has the right size.
