IN different countries Shoe size has different meanings. Thus, in Russia, shoe size is considered to be the length of the foot in absolute terms or in fractions of a centimeter (divided by 2/3 cm). In many countries, shoe size refers to the length of the shoe insole in fractions of an inch or centimeter (dimension systems).
Basic shoe size designation systems
International standard ISO 3355-77. According to it, shoe size is the size of the foot, measured in millimeters (although it is usually converted to centimeters, rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm).
European system. Centimeter, calculated according to the length of the insole. The unit of measurement is the shich, which is equal to 2/3 cm (6.7 mm). Since the length of the insole is usually slightly longer than the length of the foot (by 10-15 mm), European shoe size designations are usually larger than in the international standard.
English system. Inch, calculated by the length of the insole. Minimum (original) size = 4 inches (newborn baby foot size). Further numbering is every 1/3 inch (8.5 mm).
American system. Similar to the English one, but the original size in the American system is smaller. Numbering is also in 1/3 inch increments. The numbering of men's and women's shoe sizes in the American system is different.

Shoes, in addition to their size, also have additional parameters - the fullness and width of the foot, as well as the height of the instep of the foot. These parameters are usually indicated on the lining of the shoe and in its price tag.

Fullness of the foot This term refers to the circumference of the foot in centimeters at its widest toe. Digital numbering of the fullness of the foot is used by shoe manufacturers from all over the world. Usually buyers don’t even know the fullness of their feet, because... for most people it is standard. The fullness of the foot in the American and English systems is indicated as follows:
W = 0.25 B - 0.15 C - A
|
| Type of shoes | Size | Completeness | A |
| Women's | 21-27.5 | 1-12 | 16 |
| Men's | 24.5-30.5 | 1-12 | 17 |
So, suppose you are a man, your foot length is 220 mm, foot circumference - 205 mm. Thus:
- IN = 205
- WITH = 220
- A = 17
W = 0.25 * 260 - 0.15 * 220 - 17 = 1,25 . Your completeness according to the Russian system will be 1 . If you need to convert the resulting leg fullness to another system, use the table:
In the Gabor range of women's shoes, both the pan-European size system, familiar to Russia, from 35 to 42, and the German size system, from 2.5 to 8, are used. You will find the correspondence of these sizes in the table.
| GERMAN SIZE | EUROPEAN SIZE | FOOT LENGTH, CM |
|---|---|---|
| 2,5 | 35 | 23 |
| 3 | 35,5 | 23,5 |
| 3,5 | 36 | 24 |
| 4 | 37 | 24,5 |
| 4,5 | 37,5 | 25 |
| 5 | 38 | 25,5 |
| 5,5 | 38,5 | 26 |
| 6 | 39 | 26,5 |
| 6,5 | 40 | 27 |
| 7 | 40,5 | 27,5 |
| 7,5 | 41 | 28 |
| 8 | 42 | 28,5 |
For your convenience, the table also shows size values in centimeters. To determine your size in centimeters, place your foot on a piece of paper and trace the outline of your foot, holding the pencil strictly vertically. In the resulting figure, draw a line from the big toe to the heel and measure this distance. Do the same with the second leg. If the length of the foot on one leg is different from the other, focus on the larger figure. Find in the table the resulting size in centimeters and the corresponding shoe size to order.
In addition to the usual size, when choosing the most comfortable shoes Gabor will help by having different completeness values. In our catalog, shoes with increased fullness are marked with the icon
Particularly comfortable fullness “G” and “H”
Shoes with increased fullness G and especially comfortable extra fullness H are designed for wide feet. Such shoes provide additional volume in the area of the ball of the foot, in the toes, and in the instep. This gives either leg the space it needs. The Fullness Best Fitting is another fit option designed to fit standard width feet, but with more room in the toe area.
When choosing Gabor boots, pay attention to the width of the shaft. In our catalog, on the model description pages, both the size of the boot and its width in centimeters are indicated.
Size S – for narrow calves
The Gabor company is one of the few shoe manufacturers that has boots with narrow tops in its program. Even with thin calves, boots look attractive if they fit snugly to the leg.
Large fullness L
Every woman's foot has its own shape and characteristics. Many Gabor wide-top boots are equipped with additional features to ensure an optimal fit to the shape of the foot: rubber stoppers, stretch materials or adjustable flaps all provide the greatest feeling of comfort.
Extra wide XL and XXL
The particularly wide cut shaft ensures maximum comfort with a full and firm calf. Both wide-top and extra-wide-top boots are often equipped with additional features to ensure the best fit to the shape of the foot: threaded elastic, stretch materials, adjustable flaps, anything that creates a feeling of greatest comfort.
Variable completeness
Variable width Vario provides a flexible system for individual boot shaft widths. The width, depending on the model, can be changed using elastic inserts, adjustable buckles or fasteners, or by lacing. Thus, the boot suits different calf shapes, and also suggests different wearing occasions: for example, depending on your mood or style, you can tuck your trousers into the boots or let them out. The boot always fits perfectly!
