How to determine size

To correctly determine your shoe size, you need to measure your foot as follows: stand on a piece of paper and trace your foot with a pencil. Use a ruler to measure the distance between the farthest points on the drawing. Round the resulting value to 5 mm and find your size in the correspondence table. In the metric numbering system, size is indicated in millimeters.

Things to consider:

• use a flat, hard surface to take measurements;
• be sure to wear a thin cotton sock;
• for outlining, use a thin, hard rod;
• During the drawing process, the rod must be perpendicular to the surface.

How to measure?

The easiest way to determine what men's shoe size you wear is by using the insole! Take a pair that you have been wearing for a long time - it should be comfortable. Arm yourself with a measuring tape and write down the obtained parameters.

If you don’t have insoles at hand, we use another classic method for determining the size of men’s shoes:

• Place your right foot on a thick sheet of paper;
• Trace it along the contour, pressing firmly on the stylus;
• Repeat the manipulations for the left leg;
• Place a ruler or measuring tape at the end of your heel and towards the tip of your big toe;
• Record the received data.

Before you go to the store, we recommend that you pay attention to the following parameters:

• It is worth taking measurements in the evening;
• Be sure to check the parameters of both feet - choose a larger value, focus on it when purchasing;
• The resulting value should be rounded up by 0.5 cm;
• To purchase winter boots, measure your feet with socks on; to purchase summer boots, measure your feet barefoot.

To find the right men's shoe size, you need to take the simplest steps. Just check your foot length with the data in the table and choose the appropriate value! They told us how to determine the size - it’s time to study the parameters accepted in production in different countries. Here is the size chart for women's shoes, we have written everything in great detail.

• The stichmass
  system measures foot size in stiches (units of the old French measure of length). 1 piece = 6.67 mm
• Metric
  - the size reflects the length of the foot in millimeters
• The inch
  system is English and American. 1 inch equals approximately 2.5 cm

Size chart in tables

You will be interested to know that manufacturers have adopted a unified table of shoe sizes for men in Russia. Study it below - you will see the insole data, foot measurements and compliance with the sizes that are given in stores.

We have sorted out the Russian data, but we shouldn’t limit ourselves to this. Anyone can buy a pair made in another country - that is why you need to study the table and size chart of men's shoes in cm for other manufacturing countries.

Use our tips and tricks to choose a cool pair for outings, work or travel. We have collected useful and necessary information that will become your guide in the complex world of offline or online shopping. We will tell you how to properly iron a shirt at the link.

How to determine completeness

Foot circumference is the circumference of the foot at its widest part. Fullness is determined by measuring the foot at the most protruding points of the toe using a tape measure, which should fit tightly around the foot. The obtained foot circumference measurements (in mm) should be compared with the shoe size in the table below.

Things to consider:

• measurements should be taken in the evening, because at this time the volume of the foot is greater than in the morning;
• It is necessary to measure both legs and the larger of the two figures obtained is taken as the result;
• If you are buying shoes that will need to be worn with socks or tights, take measurements in them.

Foot measurement

To determine your men's shoe size, you need to follow a few simple steps:

1. You need to place your foot on a white sheet of paper.
2. Trace the foot with a simple pencil. Moreover, you need to do this with both the left and the right, and then simply select a larger value. Indicators may vary.
3. Using a centimeter, take measurements from the tip of your big toe to your heel.
4. Use the men's shoe size chart to find the size you need.

Important! You can also take measurements on the insole. To do this, take it out of the product that suits you, measure it, and then compare it with the table that shows the size chart for men's shoes.

Indications may vary in different countries. For example, in Russia sometimes half units of measurement are indicated, thanks to which the model can be selected as accurately as possible.

What to look for when choosing

In the Russian Federation, metric numbering is used because the foot is first measured in centimeters and then checked against the data. But in England and America the method is similar, but they use inches, not cm, as a basis. Therefore, in America the size range starts from 3.67, and this is an indicator for a newborn.

Example! Let's say you measure your foot and it comes out to 26.5. This means that the size is between 41 and 42, but always rounded up. The same applies to American products.

When purchasing European products, the indicator will always be one more. The reason is that the leg is measured using the line-mass method. And all because the measurement takes place not along the foot, but along the insole, which has a functional allowance, which is precisely about 1 cm. That is why the indicator will differ from the Russian one.

Completeness should also be taken into account. This indicator is now indicated extremely rarely, since all the material from which shoes are made is mainly elastic. However, if your foot is very wide, you will have to check the parameters with the manufacturer.

One of the important points is landing. It determines how a person will feel, what mood he will be in, and how long the product will last him. If shoes don't fit well, it can negatively affect a man's appearance.

Therefore, when you choose a model, pay attention to how it sits on the heel, since the fit should be quite tight. If the product is even a little loose, then it is better to refuse the purchase. But there may be a little free space in front, but within reasonable limits. It’s worse if the fingers are clenched in front, since the product will definitely not become longer. It is possible that it will stretch in length, although this is unlikely. You should also abandon the butt if it initially presses in the instep.

You also need to see how the product looks on your feet. If they are small, then the buyer has a huge choice. But if they are massive, then it is better to abandon the thick sole and decorative elements in the form of perforations, popularly called “mesh.”

You need to pay attention to the “silhouette”. Some models look so ugly that they are not worth purchasing even if they fit well and fit well.
