Determine the size of the legs. 24 cm foot - what size?

Most likely, the first thought that came to your head is simply to take and measure the foot with a ruler or a centimeter tape. You measure, and you get, for example, a 24 cm leg. What is the size of the shoes for such a leg? If you compare the result with a table on the Internet, you may find completely different results than in life. The fact is that it will be more correct to measure the length of the foot with a sheet of paper. So, to find out the size of the shoes, we need:

• a thick piece of paper;
• a pencil, pen or any writing item;
• ruler or centimeter tape.

The first thing you need to do is outline the outline of your foot on a piece of paper. To do this, you just need to put your foot on the sheet and ask someone to outline the foot. You can do this yourself, but with someone else’s help, measurements will be more accurate. You need to measure the maximum length from the heel directly to the tip of the thumb. Then do the same with the other leg, and you just have to check the data with the table.

Important! Use measurements that have turned out more, so the shoes will be more comfortable to sit on your foot.

Once you know the length of your foot, the time to move on to calculating the size of shoes in see the table in the article will help with this - just check it.

Shoe size tables

Please note that the shoe sizes adopted for men and women in cm may vary in the table, with the same foot length.

Let's look at an example. According to the measurement results, you got 23.8 cm, which means you can round to 24 cm. 24 cm foot - what size? The Russian size is -37, in European countries - 37.5 and in America - 7.5. And thus, according to the table, we determine the sizes of all types.

Determine the size of the child’s legs

With children's shoes, everything is a little more complicated, if only because the feet of the kids grow very quickly, and the child often cannot explain whether the shoes are comfortable for him or not. Some parents buy it for their children only on the basis of their age, however, you should consider the characteristics of the child, and therefore it is better to use the method of measuring the feet too. Making the measurements will, of course, be a little more difficult than an adult, but the result is worth it.

It is especially necessary to carefully monitor the leg length in children 4-11 years old, since the body at this age is growing rapidly and leg size is increasing.

Girth and completeness

Although now in Russia all shoes have a standard size of completeness, before they measured the girth of the foot in the widest place. In total, there were 12 sizes of completeness. Unlike Russia, in the USA there are still 17 sizes of leg fullness, and this should be taken into account when buying American shoes, since it is because of it that the chosen shoes or boots may not work.

Details when choosing shoes

Probably, it happened to everyone when the shoes were sitting perfectly when buying, and the next day it seemed small. This is due to the fact that the shoes were not tried on swollen legs, most likely in the morning or afternoon. But by evening, the legs are already tired and there is a slight swelling. That is why you should always consider that the shoes should sit a little more freely during the fitting than you think.

Also, a problem with the size of the shoe may occur when buying it in online stores. Here you need to be extremely careful and when choosing, pay attention to the length, which must be indicated by the seller in his size chart, if there are inconsistencies. If you, for example, still have the same 24 cm insole, then you need to pay attention not to the table given in the article, but to the seller’s table.

Here are some more tips for choosing shoes for men or women:

• Give preference to a larger shoe size, if you choose between two, so you definitely will not lose.
• When buying winter shoes (boots, boots, boots, etc.), pay attention to the fact that there is room for a denser sock or tights.
• Do not forget that the size of the foot in the morning is smaller than in the evening. Keep this in mind when shopping in the morning, or better yet, buy shoes in the evening when your legs are a little tired. For example, if your foot is 24 cm, what shoe size (Russian) to choose, do not hesitate. 37 is suitable for you, but 37.5 is better.
• When buying children's shoes, keep in mind that the size of the feet of children under three years old changes approximately every three months, in older children every four months, and in children from 8 to 12 years old every six months.
• For comfortable wearing of shoes by children in the warm season, add plus 0.5 cm to the size, and 1 cm in winter.
• If the length of your foot deviates slightly from the dimensions given in the table, then you should round up, so the shoes will sit more comfortable and will fit with any hosiery.
• When choosing children's shoes, rely only on the length of the foot, do not look at age. And if the foot is 24 cm, what size to take for children, do not think - go to the adult department and boldly choose there.
