Our Fashion Needs: Shoe Size Conversion

So many ways of measuring those shoes, but how can you tell what shoe size you are exactly?Let us help. Here is a shoe size chart and a few tips to make life easier for all fashion addicted girls.



How to measure your feet

1. Place a piece of blank white paper on a hard floor.
2. Stand on the paper bare feet (don’t kneel, stand normally on both feet and bend over to mark).
3. Holding a pencil vertically, place a mark at the end of your heel.
4. Place another mark at the tip of your longest toe.
5. Measure your other foot using the same method.
6. To find your size, measure the heel-to-toe mark in centimetres.
8. If you find one foot's measurement larger than the other, always move up to the larger size.

What if you are in between sizes?

If your measurements are between two sizes, our advice is:
1. If you know you have a wider foot, go for the next size up.
2. If you know you have a rather narrow foot, go for the next size down.
Tips and tricks for those in between sizes:
- If you find that one size is just a little bit to small for you, but the next one up would be way to big, than what you can do is get the smaller one and have it stretched in a shoe repair store. The same thing goes for those who have wider feet and find most shoes are a bit to narrow to be confortable.
- If you find that one size is almost right, and the next one down is way to small and uncomfortable, it may be a good idea to slip in the shoe either a gel cushion (such as Party Feet) especially for the high heels, a full feet gel cushion (for the boots usually) or even an arch support cushion. Any of those would also add extra comfort to your feet!
