How to choose the size of socks or tights?
You need to measure your feet to find out the socks size
Take a piece of paper and put your foot on it. Then, draw the outer contour of your foot with a pencil. Use a ruler to measure the distance from the beginning of your heel to your big toe in centimeters.
You should do this with both feet, as the right foot can be larger than the left one.
You should choose the number with the highest value.
Based on these data, you can begin the selection of socks or shoes (For shoes, we measure both feet according to the instructions above. For socks, one indicator is enough, since hosiery stretches well).
In the table below, you will see the parameters that correspond to the socks (shoes) size depending on the length of the foot.
Please note that the size may vary in one direction or another, up or down, depending on the manufacturer.
It happens so that size deviations are observed even within the same manufacturer but in different models. The socks fit is determined not only by the size range but also by other factors, such as the composition of the material used, the manufacturing conditions, and the density of the product.
The most convenient and simple way is to choose one manufacturer and make a test purchase in order to understand the size according to your foot. This way, you will not go wrong with the size in the future, and products will fit perfectly.
For the correct selection of the size of socks and hosiery, we recommend using the size table below.
