What gal doesn't love shoes? When you discover the endless and unique designs in vintage footwear you might be surprised! But getting a good fit is very important. We all know that just because a shoe is labeled a certain size..It still might not fit us when the package arrives on our doorstep, but what about vintage shoes that have No size marked at all?? Even tricker?....Not at all! Just follow these easy measuring tips.
Find a pair of shoes that you already own and that fit you well....try and find a pair in a similar style to what your looking to purchase. Using a soft, flexible, cloth tape measure; measure the INSIDE of the shoe heel to toe, keeping the tape measure flat against the insole hugging the arch. This is your *length*, do the same at the widest point at the ball of the foot INSIDE! and this is your *width*. When shopping on okay for vintage shoes most sellers know the basic shoe fit guidelines and will provide these basic measurments for the buyer. But be sure to ask if the measurments given were taken on the inside of the shoe...not the outside! Then just gepare the measurments... Knowing your *vintage* size will insure you get a great fit everytime!
