Internet trading is gaining more and more popularity lately. Our compatriots are in particular 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 be mistaken, it is necessary to measure the size of the foot. For this purpose, it is worth arming yourself with a ruler and attaching it to the foot. Size is defined as the maximum distance between the extreme point of the heel and the most protruding toe. This data will allow you to compare Russian and English shoe sizes.
In Russia, millimeters are used as a unit of measurement, which are most often converted to centimeters for the convenience of buyers. In England, manufacturers use inches. In this case, the length of the foot is taken as the zero size,characteristic of a newborn child. According to the average data, 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 easy to 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 choosing shoes or sandals.
It is worth noting that the English sizes of children's shoes are different from adults or even teens. Therefore, if you decide to purchase sneakers for your three-year-old daughter, it is better to be guided by the length of the foot, and not by 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 you prefer the pin-mass system when shopping, then in the first example of children's sneakers we are talking about size 24, 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 English shoe sizes from different manufacturers may vary slightly. In the event that you purchased sandals of one well-known brand, and the pair “fit” perfectly, then before purchasing shoes from another company, it is advisable to study the size table again. Quite often there may be minorsize fluctuations that can cause new shoes to feel a little tight or fall off your feet.
The fullness of the legs deserves special attention. She, as you know, can be the most diverse. Many women who have fairly full feet refrain from shopping via the Internet precisely because there is a possibility that new sandals will not fit in full. It is better for such ladies to abandon online services and purchase the pair they like only after careful fitting. Fortunately, today you can buy shoes from various manufacturers without leaving your hometown.
