Dimensions

Before buying, you need to carefully choose sneakers. And for this you need to understand the size so that the shoes were just right, and you can wear it for a long time. To do this, measure your feet. By the way, the dimensional data of the feet should not be exactly the same. For measurements, the foot should be put on a clean sheet of paper and cut around the contour. At the same time the pencil should be kept strictly vertically. The contour on the sheet is easy to measure the length of the foot (from the tip of the middle finger, as the longest, to the heel). It is necessary to add 0.5 cm to the parameters of the foot. To buy winter sneakers, 1 cm is added.

In general, the data can be rounded up to a whole number or up to 0.5 cm. The data obtained is the size of the foot.

Sneaker sizes are indicated by Japanese (Jp) or Chinese (Ch) designations, or Mondopoint. When choosing shoes should consider American and European standards. To get the Russian size you need to subtract 1-1.5 units. Although the standard method of measuring feet, on the sheet, will be the most accurate. Further, when choosing sneakers should take into account the dimensional data on the table. So, the size of men's Nike sneakers can be from 7.0 to 14 units. Women's - from 6.5 to 10.5 units. These are American sizes. By European standards, the size of men's sneakers can range from 37.5 to 42.5 units.

But even if you clearly know your size, it is better to try on sneakers before buying.
