CN 47 Shoe Size in South Africa

Knowing your foot’s precise dimensions in terms of length and width is crucial for picking the right shoe size, especially when shopping across various brands in South Africa.

Being aware of your shoe size could solve a problem you might not even realize you have: wearing uncomfortable or ill-fitting shoes.

Studies indicate that an astonishing 72% of people wear shoes that don’t fit them well, which could lead to discomfort or even pain.

If your shoes are causing you any level of discomfort, it’s likely that they don’t fit properly.

Let’s dive into a practical guide for accurately determining your foot size.

This guide covers both women’s and men’s shoe sizes, aiming to help you find a fit that spares you the agony of breaking in new shoes.

Measure Your Foot Size Easily at Home

You can pinpoint your shoe size by taking two quick measurements: your foot’s length and its width.

A flat ruler and a wall serve as essential tools for this task. It’s smart to measure both feet since they may differ in size.

If one foot is larger, it’s best to go with the bigger size. Some stores like Nordstrom even offer a unique service that lets you purchase shoes in two separate sizes if the size or width varies significantly between your feet.

Measuring the Length of Your Foot

Here’s a quick guide on measuring your foot length:

Step 1: Lay the ruler on the ground, ensuring the end that reads zero is flush with the wall.

Step 2: Stand with your back to the wall, your heel touching it lightly. Make sure your toes point straight ahead.

Step 3: Take a measurement from the wall, or the heel, to your longest toe’s tip. If your foot is bigger than a 12-inch ruler, you may need a flexible measuring tape.

Step 4: Write down the measurements you’ve taken.

Find Out Your Foot’s Width

After determining your foot’s length, the next step is to measure its width. Here’s how:

Step 1: Place the ruler horizontally on the floor, facing you.

Step 2: Step onto the ruler, focusing on the ball of your foot, where it’s the broadest.

Step 3: Measure the distance from one side of your foot to the other.

Step 4: Keep a record of this measurement.

Women’s and Men’s Shoe Size Charts

With both your foot’s length and width measured, you’re now equipped with the essential details to pick the best shoe size for you.

Your foot length will determine the numeric shoe size, while the width will help you decide between narrow, medium, or wide shoes.

By applying this technique, you ensure a snug fit, boosting both your comfort and style.
