One of the most frequently asked questions is how consistent are the sizes of sports shoes from different manufacturers. Indeed, each manufacturing company has its own system of sneaker sizes (size chart). The difficulty is that for different companies these sizes often do not coincide with each other. That is why there are shoe size conversion charts between companies from which you can more accurately select the size you need.

This table will also help you choose the correct size of sneakers in the American system (US), convert European size (Eur) to American, and also find out your size in centimeters (insole size). In addition, you can find out the ratio of men's and women's sizes.

For example, you need Nike basketball sneakers and you know your size - 46. From the table it is very easy to understand that you need size 12 sneakers. But such a table can only tentatively, I repeat, tentatively tell you the size you need.

Professional athletes know that this is fraught with the appearance of calluses, corns, abrasions, and even foot deformation. Choosing the right parameters in the modern market is difficult - there are a number of size charts, European and Asian, characteristic of a particular brand and even model.

You can determine the size correctly if you know about some nuances and tricks.

Before choosing sneakers, you need to accurately determine the main parameters of the foot - length, fullness and width. Length is the measurement from the tip of the big toe to the tip of the heel. But it needs to be measured when the leg is under load. You can put a sheet of paper on the floor, stand on it and mark the points where your foot begins and ends. The width is determined by the protrusions of the toe.

Fullness (W) is one of the most important leg dimensions. This parameter is calculated mathematically, according to the generally accepted formula - W = 0.25xB - 0.15xC - A. Instead of the letter B, we insert the circumference of the foot in the toe part into the formula. C is the length of the leg. A is a constant value, different for male and female legs. To choose a sneaker size for a man, use the value 17, for a woman – 16.

Measurements should be taken in the evening, when the foot takes the most accurate dimensions. You need to measure your feet in the socks that you usually wear for training - their density affects the parameters of your feet.

How to try on sneakers correctly

Orthopedists and sports doctors have compiled a number of recommendations on how to choose sneakers based on your foot type, in accordance with its anatomical features and training intensity. It is not enough to know how to determine the size. If you take advantage of the experience of professional runners and apply their tricks when trying on shoes, then mistakes will be eliminated.

1. You can’t rely on the sizes of sneakers you bought earlier. Before each purchase, it is necessary to re-determine the basic parameters.
2. Advice from friends and acquaintances on how to choose the right shoes should not be a guide. Each person is individual.
3. You need to choose sneakers, not the manufacturer (brand). It is important to understand that different models have different features and performance qualities.
4. You should buy sneakers, like other types of shoes, in the evening, when your feet become enlarged from the load.
5. Before trying on the sneakers themselves, you need to try on the removable insole - attach it to your foot. The insole should be larger than the foot, that is, protrude beyond it by 1 cm.
6. The fitting is performed on two legs, not one. It's not enough to just put on sneakers and evaluate how they look on your feet. You need to stand in them, walk and imitate running.
7. Women don't need to focus only on models for their gender. If your feet are wide, it will be more comfortable to train in men's sneakers.
8. Trying on should be done in socks. The process must exactly replicate the conditions of future training or hiking trips. The tightest fit should be in the middle of the foot. If your toes and heel rest tightly against the walls of the sneakers, you need to try on a larger model.

The modern shoe market offers a wide selection of intermediate sizes. Be sure to evaluate the comfort of such models; perhaps they fit your size more accurately.

How to choose sneakers in an online store

If you plan to purchase in an online store, then fitting is not possible. To select, use the size chart of sneakers (table). It is very important to know how to use it correctly.

How to choose the correct size of sneakers according to the table - this is the question most often asked by customers of online stores to the support service. The first thing you need to know is that there are men's and women's tables for sports shoe lines. In Russia, parameters are indicated in centimeters, and in European countries and the USA - in inches. The sneaker size chart can be:

• Russian,
• European,
• American,
• English,
• Japanese.

If you translate the US parameters into Russian, you get the following table of sneaker sizes for men:

The store’s website should provide a more detailed and accurate table of sneaker sizes for different countries. Preference should be given to those resources where several options for sizing charts are indicated - English, Japanese, Russian, European.

Some brands have developed their own sizing standards. Not everyone systematizes them and creates correspondence tables. Before buying sneakers in an online store, you need to clarify whether there is a possibility of returning and exchanging goods.

Children's sneakers - rules for choosing sizes

How to choose the right sneakers for a child is a difficult task for parents. You need to take into account his preferences and orthopedic rules, and guess exactly the size. You cannot buy shoes “for growth” and save on their purchase - a child’s foot is just forming and is constantly changing and growing. Its deformation due to the mismatch of sneaker sizes can lead to serious illnesses.

The size of children's sneakers is not a determining factor when choosing them. You definitely need to try on the chosen model, let your child run and jump. If store consultants object, it is better to refuse the purchase.

Children's online shoe stores are more attentive to their customers - on their websites there is always a guide for choosing a model and determining the exact size, and there is a support service. But not all trading companies do this. Before you start choosing sneakers and determining the size, you need to study the resource in detail and read reviews about the supplier.

Children's size tables and rules for measuring feet differ from adults. On a horizontal surface, they do not just mark the length from toe to heel, but trace the entire foot. Be sure to add from 5 to 7 mm to the length, and for winter options - up to 1.5 cm. Children under 3 years old should only buy shoes where there is a possibility of trying them on. For older people, you can use the size chart when choosing.

Approximate parameters of compliance with European and American standards:

Russia	Europe	USA
16	26	9
18	28	11
19	30	13
21	33	2 teenage
22	35	4 teenage

When choosing sneakers, you need to measure your feet as accurately as possible and compare them with the size charts. And you need to choose not the brand, not the appearance, but the level of comfort and quality - it is these that ensure your health and safety, and not the latest fashion trends and the popularity of the brand.

In this article you will learn how to choose the right size for ASICS sneakers and what differences exist in the Japanese brand's sizing charts.

I would like to start with one simple information that we have been trying to convey to our customers and clients for a long time and persistently - Foreign brands do not have Russian sizes. Dot. And if you wear foreign-made shoes, you should not look for the Russian equivalent in the size charts. It is always better to focus on the suggested size options.

For most brands, UK (UK), American (US) and Japanese (JP or CM) mesh sizes are regularly consistent from model to model. The same rule applies to European sizes (often called French sizes). At the same time, it is not the same as the Russian one, no matter how similar the digital designation may look. The differences are significant. But the Japanese brand ASICS has significant differences in its models in European sizes. And this is exactly what we will talk about today.

Basic rules when choosing ASICS sneakers

• Under no circumstances should you be guided by the sizes of other brands when choosing shoes of this brand. Each manufacturer tries to uniqueize its size chart. At the same time, the sneakers themselves can differ greatly in their shape, interior decoration and other structural features.
• The ASICS company produces not only men's shoes, but also women's and children's shoes. This is worth paying attention to not only because of the appearance of the models, but also because of the differences in the size chart. It is worth studying the article number on the box, and if there is a letter W there, then this model is for women. Most often it is marked MEN or WOMEN.
• The name of the model itself requires the greatest attention. Modifications of sneakers often differ from each other in structure, which is why sizes may vary.
• In the ASICS line there is a clear division into exclusively sports running shoes and sneakers for everyday wear. More information about this can be found on the company’s website. LINK
• Don't forget about the width of your feet.

Models of ASICS sneakers, which may differ in size (by group)

• 1 group of male models: GEL-LYTE III, GEL-LYTE EVO, GT-II, GEL RESPECTOR, GEL LYTE SPEED
• 2nd group of male models: GEL-LYTE V, GT-COOL
• 3 group of male models: GEL-KAYANO TRAINER, GEL-KAYANO TRAINER EVO, GEL SAGA, GEL-SIGHT, GEL-ATLANTIS, SHAW RUNNER

Why you can’t focus on EU size (European size) when choosing ASICS sneakers.

A small educational program. The digital designation of the EU size fixes the length of the shoe insole. The unit of measurement is the so-called shtih, which is equal to 6.7 mm. This is an old French measurement system that is still actively used by modern shoe manufacturers. BUT! There is no guaranteed accuracy of these dimensions, since the above value of the pin is often neglected, and each manufacturer has the right to assign the length of the insole at its own discretion. Therefore, the European size may not correspond to the actual length of the insole in centimeters.

It was not in vain that we talked about the basic rules when choosing ASICS sneakers and cited various groups of sneaker models, as well as a table of types of foot widths. Together, these factors have led to the variability of European size. For sneakers of the same direction and the same model, the EU size may differ significantly from each other only due to differences in the modification of the shoe. Here is a clear example straight from our warehouse (to make it clear what we are talking about).

Sneaker models shown: Gel Lyte III Oreo Pack, Gel Lyte V Blue Print, Gel Lyte V White, Gel Lyte V White

It seems that there is one model GEL LYTE, only modifications III and V are different. But how different is the European size! At the same time, the remaining sizes (US, UK and Japanese in centimeters) are absolutely the same. For additional comparison, take a look at the size increments of the GEL LYTE III.

In all sizes the step is one, but only the European one remained unchanged. How, then, to choose shoes according to European sizes, you ask? The answer is simple - forget about it. This is our advice to you. At least in the situation with ASICS sneakers. We cannot influence the brand policy and prohibit printing the Europe size. And we cannot say why this actually happens. But we can assure you that you don't need to rely on this size. The exception is trying on directly in the store, after which you will understand which sneakers are right for you. But there is no guarantee that the same European size will suit you if you purchase another sneaker model.

How to choose the right sneaker size

The majority of our customers remember their unique shoe size and try to purchase it exclusively, focusing on UK and US sizes. But situations where knowing your own British or American size does not help to avoid mistakes are more common than everyone thinks. And the only way out of this situation is to take and measure the length of your leg. Simple and uncomplicated. But incredibly effective.

• What you need for this: a blank sheet of paper, a pencil or pen and of course your foot =)
• Due to the physiological structure of humans, almost each of us has different foot lengths. For some it is noticeably more. Some have less. It is important to obtain measurement data for the larger foot, so that later you do not encounter a problem when one foot is simply too tight in the newly purchased shoes.
• It is best to take measurements in a standing position, so that the foot takes a natural position when your entire body is loaded.
• Next, you either trace the foot with a pen or pencil, or mark the extreme points of the big toe and heel.
• Then measure with a ruler or tape measure from the tip of your big toe to your heel. The resulting figure is your size in centimeters.
• Now you have information on your hands about what size you are according to the Japanese grid.

All that remains is to be persistent when communicating with managers and sellers in order to obtain from them life-saving information about the insole length of the sneakers you like. The general scheme for choosing the size of sneakers is presented in our material.
