Sneaker size chart

Tags: #Crepe #Linen

Shoes such as sneakers are very popular among athletes. Moreover, if the size and model of such a product were chosen incorrectly, the consequences can be extremely negative.

Shoes that are too tight or too wide will invariably lead to the appearance of calluses, chafing and other troubles of this kind.

To prevent this, you need to choose sports shoes extremely carefully.

What are sneakers?

Sneakers are a type of sports shoes used for tourism and various types of outdoor activities.

These are boots made of fabric or leather, with thick ribbed rubber soles.

Sneakers are often used as casual shoes.

How to choose the right sneaker size?

Any manufacturer has an individual size chart. You won’t be able to determine the appropriate size either intuitively or from your previous pair of shoes.

For different brands, the discrepancy in designations reaches several centimeters.For these products, the error is quite noticeable, since for sports models it should not be more than 2 cm.

Well-chosen sneakers will ensure a successful workout.

To choose the most suitable option, it is advisable to consider the following recommendations during the process:

It is better to purchase sports shoes with a reserve. During running, the leg becomes longer and tramples slightly, so shoes chosen precisely in size may be uncomfortable.
The parameters of the human leg change all the time. For this reason, shoes need to be tried on before purchasing. You should not rely on the size that was previously.
If you need to choose sneakers for winter, it is better to measure the length of your feet in socks (or add 5 mm to the final result).

Reference! The size of the sneakers is determined in accordance with the selected numbering system.

How to take measurements correctly to order sneakers in an online store?

To measure your foot length you need to do the following:

Place a sheet of paper on the floor and stand on it with the entire surface of your foot. The foot must be placed so that the heel rests against the wall.
On paper, mark the most protruding point of the foot. Repeat the same action with the second leg, since the sizes may not match. In this case, you need to focus on greater results.
Using a ruler, measure the distance to the point marked on paper for each foot. The distance to this point will be the size of the leg in centimeters.

Now, based on the results obtained, you can choose shoes of the appropriate size, using size correspondence tables from manufacturers.

Advice! It is better to measure the length of the foot in the evening. This is due to the fact that the foot grows slightly during the day.

What is the width and fullness of the leg?

The fullness (width) of a leg is its volume at the widest part of the toe (near the bones). Most people have a standard leg fullness, so they prefer not to measure it.

Those with wide feet often purchase shoes 1-2 sizes larger, which in most cases leads to the formation of growths and joint bumps.

In the English numbering system, shoe size is designated by letters - A, B, C, D and F. The international and European systems use digital designations.

In Russia to indicate this parameter, numbers from 1 to 12 are used (the interval is 4 mm), in Europe - a gradation from 1 to 8 (the interval is 5 mm).

Size designations in different countries

Basic size numbering systems:

international standard (used in Russia with the designation RUS);
English (UK);
American (USA);
European (EU).

In the European system, the basis is taken as a piece (1 piece ≈ 0.67 cm), in the English and American systems - an inch (1 inch = 2.54 cm).

Important! Sneaker manufacturers from the USA, England and European countries determine the size of these products based on the length of the insole.
