To find shoe sizes on the Crocs website in Singapore I looked under FAQ (frequently asked questions).
I could not see how to save the chart and print it off, so I took a photo of my computer screen. You could do the same only for men, women, children, or for all three, on the website for Crocs or your favourite brand.
What you need to know is where is your store located but also which country's system is the brand of shoe using.
Closure Types and Names
buckle
hook and loop (generic name?)
touch and close (UK brand name/)
Velcro (brand name) the original but now becoming a generic name
You can get different sizes of loops. The smaller loops, on lighter and narrower backing, are good for small items and when you do not want to catch on clothes, small change purses. The larger loops and wider, stronger backings may be more suitable for heavy jackets, boots and shoes.
Measuring Devices
Mostly for my adult shoes I look at an old shoe and check the size, either embossed underneath on the middle of the sole, or printed on the inner lining to the left or right of the ankle.
However, for a growing toddler, you might need a guage.
If you are buying thongs (UK flip-flops) or toe-post shoes, you could draw around your feet at home on a piece of white typing paper. Place the cut-outs over a pair of toe-post shoes which fit you. ut a slit to the toe post on the paper so that you can slide it onto the footwear. Take this with you when shopping. Slip it into slip flops which you are considering buying. Why? If you are not allowed to try on shoes, or don't like the idea of putting your foot on a shoe which somebody else may have worn. If you are wearing socks, or lace up shoes or boots and don't want to spend time removing and replcing socks and or lace up shoes or boots.
Happy Shopping!
