Ordering shoes online is profitable, but people often refuse to shop in online stores for fear of making a mistake with the size. It is not surprising, because tight or too loose shoes are uncomfortable to wear, especially for people with non-standard foot sizes, flat feet or a bulging bone.
The only correct method not to make a mistake with the size of house slippers is to measure the length of the foot (and not the length of the insole in ordinary shoes). Please note: the insole does not match the length of the foot, it should always be longer, and how much depends on the specifics of the slipper model.
How to measure the length of the foot correctly?
It is easy to make measurements, all manipulations can be carried out at home without outside help. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account important nuances. Firstly, the foot is slightly longer in the evening than in the morning. This is due to leg fatigue, swelling, lowering of the arch of the foot. Secondly, the size of the legs is not constant, they can change throughout life. The width and length of the legs increases, especially if a person is engaged in sports or has a hard physical job. For these reasons, 5-6 years ago you could have been 41-42 size, and now — 42-43. About this feature, you need to remember and take into account not the usual size, but take the actual length of the foot as a guideline.
Evening is the optimal time for measurements. You need to determine the size in a standing position. In order for home shoes to fit perfectly to the foot in shape, you need to measure two feet and choose a larger one from the resulting values. Often the right and left legs are not symmetrical — the difference in length can be several millimeters, but it is important to determine the exact size.
To properly measure the length of the feet, follow these recommendations:
- put your feet on the paper and circle them with a pencil (the pencil should be held perpendicular to the paper);
- on the contour, measure the length from the tip of the thumb to the heel diagonally — so you will know the most accurate value;
- choose the larger of the two received values.
To calculate the size, use the formula: divide the value of the foot length in cm by two, then add the foot length and one to the resulting number. The resulting value is your size in the European grid. For example, let's imagine a size calculation for feet with a length of 26 cm. 26:2 = 13; 13+26+1 = 40. It turns out that for a foot of 26 cm, the optimal shoe size will be 40.
When choosing a size, you need to focus not only on the length of the foot, but also on the fullness, otherwise the shoes may fit in length, but in width they may not be suitable: narrow or wide. To take this point into account, please pay attention to the recommendation "Model features" in the shoe card. The pop-up window provides recommendations regarding the features of the model and gives tips on choosing the right size of fur slippers. You can always count on the help of consultants.
