The size of the US shoes. Selection rules

In search of better things, an increasing number of people from the countries of the former Soviet Union pay attention to clothing and footwear from Western countries: many European and American trademarks are well respected . The only problem with such purchases is the right size, because shipping from America takes a long time, and to pay several times forwarding the goods, if there was a need to replace it, it is inappropriate.

To properly choose the size you need, it is better to measure the legs first. To do this it is quite simple: put your foot on a sheet of paper, circle its pen or pencil with its outline and simply measure the length of the drawn foot with a ruler.

It is from the received quantity of centimeters that your shoe size will depend. The USA, for example, produces and half sizes. Therefore, it is not necessary to focus on the size adopted in our country.

If you buy shoes for the first time and do not know which US shoe size suits you, then use the popular conformity tables, which show the size of the USA-Russia shoes.

The size of US shoes is more fitting for the length of the foot than the accepted sizes in our country. But even if after all the measurements, you still doubt, then before buying, specify the length of the insole, the height of the lift and the width of your chosen model. This will save you from possible failures in choosing.

It is also important to adequately choose the size of shoes 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 terrible if you put on it more shoes. But the opinion is erroneous.

For example, you liked the children's shoes, and you decided to choose a bigger size, hoping that the child will have enough for 2 seasons. But, forcing a baby to wear shoes 1-2 sizes larger than the laid one, you not only spoil his foot, but also increase the likelihood of injuries: in large shoes it is much easier to stumble and fall. Up to the size of winter boots chosen by you, the baby can grow to July, and by the next winter they will already become small. It is better to choose shoes or shoes no more than +1 the size of the US shoes to the existing one.

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. For each category go their own, children's sizes of US shoes, each of them corresponds to a certain length of the child's foot. It should also be measured, as in adults, by simply tracing a leg on a piece of paper.

Even if you are sure that you have chosen the right size, but have never encountered a brand name before, it is better to check on the site if the size is exactly the same as a millimeter. And if you decide to purchase shoes from the USA through such popular joint purchases in our time, then ask the organizer to update this data or measure the ruler with a ruler if it has the right size.
