How to avoid mistakes when selecting shoes from online stores: dimensional grid of cross-country brands

Buy in offline stores are almost always more expensive than in the shops. This is especially true of new collections. Pro shops stock it certainly is not. In addition to lower prices, online stores offer a much wider range of models (this applies to foreign sites). You can buy a model, which is not even heard of in our family store, and if they do, they usually soon as it they will - it is "never."

But when buying sports shoes and shoes in general, there is one small but annoying problem - choosing the right size, Since the dimension of the grid from different manufacturers is different (sometimes it happens and with different models of producer). It's one thing when you order the online store in your city or the nearest city in the mail. Then you can still ask for two couples to choose the appropriate size and give an extra pair of back to the courier or mail. But what if the online store is located in the UK, China, USA and other countries of the former (and not) abroad? Solutions to the problem may be several.

Variant № 1. Standard. The easiest way to understand what exactly the size needed - go to an offline store, try it an object of desire, and then order the correct size of the online store. But this only works if in the offline store has the correct model you.

Variant № 2. Costly. My coach is constantly ordered the shoes at one of the US sites. The first time she did not guess the size, and the resulting shoes were great. I had to sell. The second time she ordered two pairs size which it considered the best, and the size of the smaller (including the first miss). The result was that both couples were small. Therefore, the third time she asked her colleagues and acquaintances if they do not want to imagine such shoes, and ordered three pairs. As a result, one she came up, and the other two moved happy owners of larger and smaller foot sizes.

It's not very convenient option, but remember: you can always sell the pair that you are approached, as it would in any case cheaper than the store, and want to find quickly.

Variant № 3. Normal. Before ordering shoes online store, do not be lazy and read the information on the dimension of the grid shoe of the manufacturer.

But first you will need to measure your foot length (size is tied to the length of the foot in millimeters) and remember a few rules of selecting running shoes.

Pay attention to the heel. It should not be much should not slide and thus be strongly clamped. The ideal option: you can pull your foot out of the shoe laced. Remember that a light discomfort that you may experience when fitting in the store, is magnified during a treadmill workout.

Shoes should not reap. Feeling as if your foot chained, should not be. Remember that during the run time of the foot may be slightly Patriotic, and then too narrow shoes will reap. If the problem with the pressure on the rise can be solved by a further embodiment of lacing, the pressure on the sides have not uberosh.

Attention to the sock. Remember that between the foot and the toe of the shoe, you should have a little more space to fingers were clamped (again recall the swelling).
