How to choose the right shoe size

Most of us know our foot size, we are also aware, when buying footwear, that the sizes of individual manufacturers differ from each other, so it is always worth checking the "size table", which will allow us to quickly orientate or, for example, the size 42 of the XX brand, which is usually we buy corresponds to the size 42 of the YY brand that we are going to buy. Sometimes it happens that people do not remember their shoe size or are confused about the different sizes. There is a way and at the same time one of the most reliable methods of selecting shoes in a boutique, and especially those bought in online stores - determining the inner length of the shoe's insole.

How to determine the length of a shoe's insole? - Measure the length of the foot. Put your foot in the sock on a sheet of A4 paper, outline its shape, and then measure in centimeters the distance between the two points that are the most protruding on the contour of the foot, i.e. from the tip of the farthest toe to the heel. (Remember to measure both feet, sometimes one foot may be shorter). We add 0.5-1 cm to the result, following the principle that the plumper the foot, the greater the margin. The result obtained is the length of the inner sole of the shoe. Each shoe manufacturer is required to provide the length of the shoe insert in centimeters, which is assigned to a specific size. Some manufacturers, for example, assign an insole with a length of 27 cm to size 40, others to 41, and still others to 42. When buying shoes online, without the possibility of trying on, remember that it is worth taking only the length of the inner insole, not the size - this way you will avoid disappointments with too small or too large shoes.
