There are several systems for measuring dimensionsshoes. The most common of them: US (USA), EU (Europe) and UK (Great Britain). Since in our country the EU system is common, when buying shoes abroad or in online stores, the logical question arises: the size of UK / US shoes is how much by Russian standards?
On the table below you can quickly navigate, if you know your size in at least one of the measurement systems, or if you measure the foot centimeter.
The size of UK shoes is considered in the inch system ofthe calculation is 1/3 inch = 8.47 mm. But it is important not only to be able to translate inches into centimeters, but also to correctly measure the foot. After all, for the right choice of shoes, knowledge of the length of the foot is not enough, the size of the ankle, the protruding joints are also important. All this is taken into account in a complex manner in any measurement system, and the UK size is no exception.
It is customary to separate foot measurements in accordance withsex. Women's and men's shoe sizes UK vary, as can be seen from the table above. And if you compare the EU and UK systems, the first male size is 1 cm larger than the similar female.
Consider the example:The female size of UK 6 shoes is 39 centimeters in the metric system. And what will be similar to it? In this case, the size of shoes UK in Russian (if translated) in men is 40 centimeters. That same difference in a centimeter. It is saved by comparing all the dimensions in the grid. And, for example, the children's size of shoes UK 6 in Russian is 14 centimeters (more about this later).
First you need to understand what parameters are taken into account when creating shoes. The first and the main thing is really the length of the foot - from the most protruding point of the heel and to the tip of the thumb.
Further, from left to right, the followingparameters: the first phalanx of the thumb. Since when walking this part of the finger moves more actively than others, it is taken into account in the calculation of the size and design of the shoes. The side ledge - the base of the thumb - is an important parameter that influences the choice of the shoe model. It should be narrow enough if there is no protrusion; and wide enough if the ledge is large, so that the shoes sit comfortably on the leg.
The inner arch or simply arch - its dimensionsalso taken into account by footwear manufacturers. In cases of flat feet or high arch, for example, completely different technologies for making shoes are used. And, finally, the inner heel and the ankle protrusion from the inside - affect the choice of shoes in the same way as the arch.
If you look more closely, you can measure andthe ankle circumference, the widest part of the foot (at the base of the toes) and the circumference of the lift, thus looking for the corresponding size of the UK footwear.
But such meticulousness is, rather,except the rule. Although for the purchase of shoes through the site, without the ability to touch and measure the model you like, this accuracy of measurements can serve a good service and save the buyer from wasting time and money for returning or replacing an unsuitable shoe model.
Any mom knows that picking up shoes for a child inseveral times more difficult than yourself. And not only because there is no opportunity to try and feel shoes on foot independently, but rather that a child is much more mobile than adults, so when choosing a pair for him, you need to take this into account.

Since the purchase of shoes from foreign manufacturersbecame ubiquitous, as well as the spread of local products around the world acquired a scale, the designation of sizes on labels became universal. As a rule, it indicates a minimum of three measurement systems: American, European and British.
The first and the main measurement is indicated either bycountry-producer, or the country - the main buyer of the product. Also on the labels there are letters, such as S, M, L and others. They also indicate the size. But unlike codes from letters and numbers designate ranges of sizes. That is, they are more universal and subjective. Therefore, it is better not to be guided by them when buying something online.
The size of shoes UK in Russian is not translatedthe addition of centimeters. The British measurement system differs from the metric (or mondpoint), to be more precise, cardinally, including designation and marking.
Typically, manufacturers specify a standardthe British dimensional mesh. But not all English brands of shoes are guided by it. There are brands that use their own size table, which can be viewed on the company's website. It is made for the convenience of the manufacturer, and also based on the technology of making shoes.
Increased requirements for the quality of shoes of manymakes looking at the UK market. Including when choosing shoes for kids. English collections really show a wide range, very high quality products and a variety of models. Each such manufacturer necessarily translates UK dimensions into other measurement systems and duplicates them in all sources: from the label on the shoebox to the company website.
