Introduction
There is no real standard width for shoe sizes, as different manufacturers use different lasted construction methods and materials. As a result, the width of a size 9 shoe from one manufacturer may not be the same as the width of a size 9 shoe from another manufacturer.
There are three main types of shoes: those with standard widths, those with wide widths, and those with extra wide widths. Standard width shoes are made to fit the average foot, while wide and extra wide shoes are made to accommodate feet that are wider than average.
There are a few ways to determine your shoe size. The most common method is to simply try on a variety of shoes and see which ones fit the best. Another method is to have your feet professionally measured by a shoe store or other retailer that specializes in selling shoes.
How to measure your foot
There are a few different ways that you can measure your foot in order to find your shoe size. The most common way is to use a ruler or measuring tape. Place the end of the ruler or measuring tape at the back of your heel, and extend it to the end of your longest toe. Make sure to measure both feet, as one may be larger than the other. Once you have your measurement, you can consult a size chart to find your corresponding shoe size.
Shoe size conversion charts
It can be difficult to know what shoe size to buy when shopping online, in a different country, or for a child who is still growing. The following charts can help you determine the approximate shoe size for a given foot measurement (in inches or centimeters).
Children’s shoe sizes
Shoe sizes for children are not based on age, but on the child’s foot length in inches or centimeters. Children’s shoe sizes start at size 0 (4 inches) and go up to 13.5 (8.5 inches). The best way to determine your child’s shoe size is to have them professionally measured at a local shoe store.

Tips for finding the right shoe size
When you’re shopping for shoes, the most important thing is to find a pair that fits well. But with so many sizes, widths, and styles available, it can be tricky to know where to start.
Here are a few tips to help you find the right shoe size:
-Measure your feet. It’s important to know your exact foot size before you start shopping for shoes. The best way to do this is to measure your feet at the end of the day, when they are at their largest.
-Try on both shoes. Once you have your foot measurement, it’s time to start trying on shoes! Make sure you try on both shoes, even if one feels better than the other.
-Check for snugness. A good pair of shoes should feel snug but not tight. They should also be comfortable right away—you shouldn’t have to “break them in.”
-Walk around in them. Before you make your final decision, walk around in the shoes to make sure they feel good. Pay attention to how they feel on different surfaces (carpet, hardwood floors, etc.) and when you are standing vs. walking or running.
