Shoe size 39 in centimeters for women. Rules for measuring foot size for choosing shoes

Learn how to correctly measure your foot size in centimeters. And what are the size charts?

When you are going to buy shoes, the sales assistant is primarily interested in the size of your feet. Therefore, you need to know the size of your feet. In addition, if you decide to purchase boots, sandals or shoes in an online store, then the size of the shoes should be determined in advance. How to do this, read on.

How to correctly measure your foot in centimeters?

The first thing that comes to mind is that to determine the size of your leg, you need to measure its length in centimeters. But it’s not the leg itself that’s supposed to be measured, but its imprint on the paper. After all, when the foot is on a hard surface, its parameters are greater than in another position. To get the exact value, do the following:

Take a regular thick sheet of paper
Place your foot on it
Use a pencil to outline the heel and toes
Measure the length at the highest point with a measuring tape
Do the same with the other leg.
The size is determined according to tabular data
Use the parameters of the foot that is longer

IMPORTANT: It is advisable to take the measurement in the late afternoon, because at this time of day the legs can increase in size. Some clients who shop for shoes in the morning (and in close sizes at that) very often complain that in the evening they cannot even put on shoes or boots.

Are the foot sizes of the right and left legs the same in centimeters?

Every person has a slight asymmetry between the right and left half of the body. It also appears when measuring feet. It is known that only 14% of people have the same size. Small deviations within 5-7 mm are considered normal. There are often people whose right leg is smaller in size than their left. After all, the left is considered the supporting one. But there are cases and vice versa - when the right one is larger.

Are the dimensions of the left and right legs the same?

Table of correspondence between foot sizes in centimeters and shoe sizes for children

If the child is still small, then shopping to buy the shoes he needs is unlikely to be pleasant. Therefore, it is better for mom to measure her leg herself. The process of determining parameters occurs as follows:

Moisten your baby's foot with plain water.
Let him then step on a blank sheet of paper
Measure the size with a ruler

IMPORTANT: To set the size, look at the table. For example, the resulting measurement in centimeters is 12.9; will correspond to size 21. We round the first value to 13 cm, and see what parameter it corresponds to.

Table of correspondence between foot sizes in centimeters and shoe sizes for women

Almost always, only one foot parameter is given in the tables - its length. As you can see in the diagram below, the size is also set according to the length of the leg in centimeters. If you have normal fullness in your feet, then the shoes fit true to size. And if your feet are full, then it is better to take shoes a size or two larger.

Define parameter women's shoes according to the table it is very simple. All you have to do is select the rounded value of your foot measurements in the bottom column, and then find the appropriate size by going up vertically.

Table of correspondence between foot sizes in centimeters and shoe sizes for men

The parameters in the tables for men's legs differ from women's. But the process of determining the right size is the same:

First find the “centimeter” length of the foot
Further down vertically look for the number of your size

Men's shoes - table

Example: foot length - 23.3 (you should immediately round the value to 23.5) corresponds to Russian size 36.5 and European size 37.

Tips for choosing shoe sizes for children, women and men

When choosing children's shoes Please note the following factors:

In babies up to three years old, the legs grow quickly, the size changes in a three-month period
In older children (up to six years old), this parameter changes over a four-month period.
In older children - at five to six months
For comfortable wearing of shoes by a child, add 0.5 cm to the results obtained, and in winter - 1.5

If the purchase of shoes is made by a man or a woman, then it will not hurt to take into account these tips:

If the length of your left and right feet differs, then choose shoes according to the larger parameter.
When purchasing shoes, boots, sandals on Aliexpress, keep in mind that sometimes the sizes indicated in the tables do not correspond to reality. Therefore, check the parameters with the seller. Otherwise, the shoes may come in small sizes.
When buying boots for the winter, keep in mind that in severe frosts you will want to wear warm socks. Therefore, take shoes a size larger.
Don't forget that a person's foot size is smaller in the morning than in the evening. So keep this in mind when making a purchase.

Video: How to determine your foot size?

We often have shoes in our stores with unclear size markings. It’s good if you have the opportunity to try on or at least attach the shoe to your foot. But often, in order to find the right shoes, you need to try on many pairs before you find something suitable.

And sometimes there are situations when the shoes fit when you tried them on, but the next day they are already tight. In this case, most likely, you came to the shoe store in the morning, when your feet were not yet tired and swelling did not appear. Therefore, it is simply necessary to always know your real leg parameters.

This problem is especially relevant if you order shoes online. Usually sellers indicate the size, but do not indicate the length of the inner insole, so often the buyer receives an item of the wrong size. To prevent such incidents from happening, there should be a table of leg sizes in centimeters nearby.

Features of shoe marking

Now in the world there are several size grids. It depends on the country of origin of the shoes.

Inches - they are also inches.
UK Size - for shoes made in Great Britain and Scotland.
US Size for shoes from the USA, Australia and Canada.
Euro Size is a traditional size for us, but in Germany, Italy, Sweden and France, the Euro size is 1 larger than in the CIS countries.

The table will help you determine your foot size in centimeters. Russia and other CIS countries use a special Euro Size. To determine yours, you need to divide the length of the foot by 2 and add the full length again. Essentially, our size is one and a half foot lengths: if the foot is 26 cm, then 26:2+26= size 39.

How to determine shoe size for adults?

Before you go to the store or choose a product on the Internet, you need to learn how to correctly determine the length of your foot. It is advisable to measure the foot even for those who know their measurements, since often people confidently buy what seems to be their size, but the shoes do not fit.

To measure your leg correctly you need to do this:

At the end of the working day, take off your shoes and stand with your feet on a piece of paper, then mark the length and width of your feet. This should be done in the evening, because then the feet are a little swollen, and if you measure the size in the morning, the purchased shoes will rub.
If this Summer shoes, then you need to measure your bare feet; if you have winter feet, then wear socks. You should not make marks too close to the foot, as the selected size will rub and the shoes will wear off faster.
Measure the length of the foot and the width at the toes. In order to be as comfortable as possible in a closed model, it is necessary to make a margin between the foot and the shoe of no more than 7 mm. This will allow the leg to “breathe” and reduce the stress on the legs.
Next, a table of leg sizes in centimeters will help you choose the option that suits you.

Abroad, inches (Inches) are often used instead of centimeters. If you come across such a marking, then know - 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

If you are still not sure, then ask the seller to measure the parameters of the shoes using the inner insole. Also, do not forget that all people have different heights and calf widths, so these nuances must be taken into account, especially when purchasing winter boots and a shoe.

How to determine the size of a child's feet?

It is usually quite difficult to put shoes on children, especially under the age of 4 years. The baby will not be able to tell if it is comfortable for him and if there is no pressure anywhere. Since it is quite difficult to determine foot size in centimeters, a table by age will help you choose shoes for your child without much effort. But remember that all children are different.

"Child's foot size in centimeters." Table 1.

It is necessary to constantly change the child’s shoes and monitor how the baby stands on his feet. Until the age of 10, children grow very quickly, and the parameters of their legs also increase. Therefore, starting from the age of 5 (and often earlier), the table of the relationship between the child’s age and foot size becomes inaccurate due to individual characteristics development. From this period on, it is better to rely on the child’s foot size in centimeters; the table below will show the correct ratio.

"Children's shoe sizes." table 2

How to choose the right shoes for adults?

Not everyone paid attention, but men's and women's shoes have different size charts. So, for example, the length of the insole is 25.5 cm for women's shoes - size 38, and for men's shoes - 39.5. We rarely choose shoes of the opposite gender, so few people know about this feature.

Therefore, to choose suitable shoes, you need not a general table of foot sizes in centimeters, but a separate table of women’s or men's shoes.

Table of foot sizes in centimeters for men:

How to choose the right shoes according to the table?

A table suitable for gender or age will help you find out your foot size in centimeters. It is especially necessary to pay attention to whether the pair in front of you is men's or women's when buying sports shoes, since such sneakers are often similar in appearance.

It’s quite rare that “size and a half” shoes hit our shelves. However, all over the world, half sizes are a fairly convenient marking that allows you to choose suitable option. It is necessary to choose a marking with a half when your foot is slightly larger than the previous size (up to 3-4 mm).

You should never buy shoes “back to back” - there should always be a margin of at least 3 mm. Therefore, if, for example, the length of a woman’s foot is 23.8 cm, then it is better to take shoes of Euro size 39 rather than 38. If your foot length is not in the tables above, then you need to choose a larger size.

For shoes produced in the CIS, it is necessary to use the “one and a half length” principle, which is described above, to determine the size.

Once you know your foot size in centimeters, the length chart will help you choose the right shoes. But sometimes manufacturers additionally indicate numbers or Latin letters - this is the width of the shoe at the toe.

Leg fullness

Manufacturers often indicate in the marking the width of the insole in the toe area. But, alas, we rarely have the opportunity to know in advance whether the shoes will fit this parameter.

If you do not take this indicator into account when choosing boots, then the buyer will not only feel discomfort when walking, but will also “kill” the shoes quite quickly. Therefore, if there is such a possibility, check the width of the shoes based on the insole before purchasing.

To find out the fullness of your leg, you need to use a centimeter to measure the circumference of your leg at the widest point of the foot.

When choosing men's shoes from foreign manufacturers, you need to know how to convert your size 27 cm into European and US numbers. In the Soviet Union, we bought only domestic goods, and the scale was uniform. But now the shoe market is filled with models from different manufacturers, and their sizes differ from those accepted in Russia. It would seem that there is nothing complicated about this: just try on boots or shoes, choosing ones that are comfortable for your feet. For visitors to shoe stores, this is truly the easiest way to buy, but what should those who order shoes on the site do?

The main parameter for determining the size is the length of the insole, and in some cases, the width of the foot. The size table shows values corresponding to a foot length of 27 cm for different manufacturing countries.

Most companies, when making shoes, focus on the average fullness of the foot, and if the foot is non-standard (too thin or full), you should pay attention to an additional indicator of fullness. How to define it? Measure the distance from the bone to the most protruding part of the little finger.

For Russia, designations from 2 to 10 are accepted. Two corresponds to 221 mm, and ten corresponds to 265 mm. Each value differs from the previous one by 5 mm. Normal fullness is considered to be 6 (245 mm).

Data shown is for men's shoes only. A different size scale has been developed for the female leg.

Defining your parameters

How were the measurements taken that it turned out to be 27 centimeters? Most likely, the insole of the most comfortable shoes was measured. But this does not guarantee a reliable result, because during wear the insole is slightly deformed, taking the shape of the foot, and how comfortable the shoes will be depends on the reliability of the measurements. Below are guidelines for correct measurement:

Another helpful advice: It is very rare for a person to have the same length of feet, usually the difference is 5-10 mm. What happens if, when purchasing, we focus on measuring the smaller leg? That's right, one shoe will put pressure on your toes, causing discomfort while walking. It is better to measure both feet, and then focus on the larger indicator.

So, it turned out to be 27 centimeters, the fullness corresponds to the norm and a dimensional match for this manufacturer has already been found and selected suitable model. But don't rush to order. First, it is advisable to study the following tips:

Don't take it close. Even in Russia, boots produced at different factories may differ slightly in size. If in doubt, it is better to order half a size larger.
Consider the thickness of the sock. Winter boots are worn with a warm sock, which also takes up a certain space inside the shoe and, to make you feel comfortable, it is better to take a model half a size larger.
Some sites do not offer a replacement service for items that don’t fit or that you simply don’t like. If you don’t want to waste money by getting small or uncomfortable shoes, then you should take into account all the nuances as much as possible when placing an order.

Using this useful information will help a man with a foot length of 27 cm not only determine his size depending on the country of origin, but also choose the most comfortable shoes for himself.

Shoes are a very important item in the life of every woman. The fairer sex is ready to spend most of their free time in shops and boutiques, spending huge sums on shoes, loafers, oxfords and so on.

Buying shoes in offline stores is quite simple. You can ask a consultant to choose the size, or try on several pairs yourself. The same cannot be said about online stores. Here you need to know exactly your size, and God forbid you make a mistake by one centimeter, you will have to exchange shoes or give them to friends/acquaintances.

How to determine the size of women's shoes?

Manufacturers use four numbering systems that allow them to accurately identify their designation. Each system uses its own units of measurement, so they are all different from each other.

Numbering systems:

International (metric). Used in Russia and CIS countries. The simplest system, which is based on measuring the length of the foot. The unit of measurement is centimeters.
European (small mass). Used in European Union countries. The size of women's shoes is determined by the length of the insole. The unit of measurement is millimeters.
American and English. Almost identical numbering systems, differ in original size. The unit of measurement is inches.

Due to inconsistencies in measurement systems, the sizes of foreign shoe brands are very different from domestic ones. The correspondence table will help you understand the notation.

We measure the length of the foot with a centimeter or inch ruler:

Important! Take foot length measurements better evening. Then the foot will widen and lengthen a little.

Winter boots are usually insulated with artificial or natural fur. To ensure a good fit in winter boots, take one size larger. It is better to take summer sneakers close to each other so that they do not rub or fall off.

Russian sizes of women's shoes and US sizes are very different from each other. Use the correspondence table to determine the appropriate designation.

Fullness and width of the foot

Some manufacturers also indicate the completeness of the product. This parameter is very important if you want to choose comfortable boots that will not rub the bones on your feet.

As a rule, people with the same foot length have different widths. You can determine this parameter using a measuring tape. Wrap it around the protruding bones closer to the toes, and measure the width of the foot (as shown in the picture).

On foreign websites, the designation of foot fullness can be indicated in Latin letters:

F – normal fullness. Occurs most often.
G – slightly increased fullness.
H – greatly enlarged leg with protruding bones.
Very often the fullness is not indicated at all, which means that the shoes are made with an “F” type fullness.

Lucky are those girls who thought before buying: how to determine women's shoe sizes in cm? Now you can not worry about the parcel and safely order on the Internet. Happy shopping!

A child's foot is a more subtle issue. Firstly, it grows quickly, not only in length, but also in breadth. Secondly, the skin of children is much more delicate than that of adults, which means that small feet require space and breathing - for this, manufacturers often add an additional 0.8-1 along the length of the insole, especially when it comes to shoes for the cold season . Thirdly, with all this, boots, shoes, sandals must fit tightly enough, providing the foot with the necessary support.

Therefore, responsible parents approach the selection of shoe sizes for a child or teenager most carefully. Let's figure out how to simplify and make this choice more accurate.

How to measure a child's foot length

An important note: it is advisable to measure your feet at least once every 2-3 months, even if you do not plan to buy shoes right now. This way you can get an idea of the dynamics of foot growth specifically in your baby and prevent annoying mistakes with the size.

Yes, we remind you: up to the age of 3 years, the leg grows at a rate of 2-3 sizes per year. From 3 to 6 years - approximately 2 sizes. IN school years- by 1-2 sizes annually.

So, having realized the importance of getting it to size, we arm ourselves with a blank sheet of paper, a pencil or fountain pen, a ruler and measure.

Measuring the size of a child's foot, photo 1

1. Ask the child to place his right foot on paper sheet and circle it. Keep your pencil or pen strictly vertical! Repeat with the left.

2. Using a ruler, measure the distance from the center of the heel to the extreme point thumb. On the right and left legs, the results may differ (sometimes the difference reaches 6-10 mm!). When choosing a size, be guided by for greater results.

Important points when measuring:

take measurements in the afternoon - preferably in the late afternoon. Usually by the end of the day the leg swells a little and increases in size;
if you intend to purchase closed shoes (boots, shoes, etc.), measure the length of the foot in the sock;
When measuring, the child should stand, leaning on the leg whose size you are interested in. The foot under load becomes longer and wider.

The result of this operation is that you will receive the shoe size in the so-called metric system, in millimeters or centimeters. But this result is rather intermediate. The fact is that not all manufacturers use the metric system, in which the shoe size is equal to the actual length of the foot. For example, it is quite popular in Japan, but you are unlikely to make online purchases in the Land of the Rising Sun.

But in the West (as in the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Kazakhstan) other sizing systems are more common.

How to choose the size of shoes for a child

This question is no less important than the question of size. After all, children's feet are of different widths, which means that shoes that are ideal for one child will dangle on the feet of another or squeeze a third, although all the kids seem to wear the same size.

Unfortunately, the child himself often cannot clearly say whether the shoes are pressing on him or not. The fact is that a layer of fat remains on a child’s foot, which reduces sensitivity, and therefore the baby simply does not feel how the sandals or boots are pinching, deforming the foot.

Dealing with the width of a particular child’s feet is the task of his parents. We'll show you how to do this.

Children's shoes are available in five types of completeness within each size:

Narrow - designated as N
Medium - M
Wide - X
X-Wide - XW
XX-Wide (Well, very wide!) - XXW

European designations are also possible:

C - very, very narrow foot
D - very narrow foot
E - narrow foot
F - foot in Central European fullness
G - foot slightly wider than average European
H - wide foot

When purchasing shoes for your child, be sure to look at the corresponding index letters (they are usually located next to the size designation). If there is no letter, it is assumed by default that the shoe is designed for a medium, standard foot.
