How to measure Length : Sitting on a chair, wearing your usual hosiery or socks, place your foot on a plain piece of cardboard.
Have someone hold a different piece of cardboard vertically at the heel, then draw a line where the two cardboard pieces meet. Then hold the cardboard at the end of the longest toe. Draw a line here as well. Now remove your foot and measure the distance in centimeters between the two lines. mm = millimeters (metric) 25.4 mm = 1 US inch

Please remember that these are approximations only. There is no real 1-1 relationship between the sizing, and the beste method is, like always, to try shoes on ! There are however, some mailorder stores that will determine your size for you if you send a tracing of the left foot, with your order / inquiry.

Add :
Your size + 1/2 --> + 1 Any feminine style shoe with an open
toe.
Your size + 1 --> + 1 1/2 Any feminine style shoe with a closed
toe.
Whether or not this convertion is a must, you'll have to try - the width does not hold for me as I wear medium M & W. Do remember that there is a HUGE difference between BRANDS. You can have pumps that are too big, sandals that are just right and ballerinas that are too small; all in the same size... ;)
