3 ways to order your correct shoe size

I

Tell us your shoe size-length and width-if you know it.

Fer men and women only-not far children. (For children, use 4-point

measuring system.) Make sure that shoes you order are sold in your

particular size and width.

or

2

Give us all numbers and letters in your shoe

For men and women only-not

for

children. Just write on your order

all the numbers and marks you find in the lining of a comfortable old

shoe-whether you

bou~ht

it at Sears or not- and your new Sears

shoes will

fit

just as comfortably. Be sure to include any clashes that

ocq.ir

, as they sometimes indicate half sizes.

or

3

Use Sears Scientific 4-point measuring system

For men, women, older boys, girls and

children- Take a piece of blank paper

large enough to fit under your foot ...

an ordinary kitchen knife .. and a

sharp pencil.

Sit

011

a chair

and let the

foot which gives you the most trouble

rest naturally and without moving on

the piece of paper as shown.

Do not stand

as this will spread the foot and

result in an incorrect measurement. Our measurements allow for

normal spread of foot when standing.

Mark this piece of paper as shown

i11

the four illustrations at the right.

You now will have a piece of paper with four pencil

marks on it as shown at the right. Enclose this piece

of paper with your.order blank (if ordering more

than one pair, send diagram for each pair of shoes

you are ordering, with catalog number noted).

Sears 4-Point Foot Measurement gives us all the

information we need to determine your correct

shoe size.

Have someone else hold the knife

straight up and down of the tip of

your longest toe as shown in Point

Number 1 above, end make a mark

with the pencil along the outside

edge of the point of the knife.

Next, have the knife blade placed

at back of the heel, as shown in

Point Number 3 above, and make

another mark along the outside

edge of the blade. Be sure that the

knife is held straight up and down.

Have knife blade moved to the

ioint at the inside of the foot (widest

part), as shown in Point Number 2

above, and again make a mark

with the pencil along the outside

edge of the blode.

And lost, have knife blade placed

at widest p<3rt of the outside of your

foot, as shown in Point Number 4.

This gives us your exact foot

measurement so do not send us

Shoe rationing may end during the

life

of this catalog. Watch your news–

papers and listen to your radio for the Government's announcement. The

following instructions are to be followed only while shoe rationing is in effect.

Four Ration Stamps, Airplane Stamps Number 1, Number 2. Number 3, and Num·

her 4 in Ration Book 3, are now valid for the purchase of shoes, and

will

continue in

effect for an indefinite period. Expiration dates for these four stamps will be an–

nounced b)r O.P.A. at least 30 days in advance, which

give you plenty of time to

plan shoe purchases for your entire family.

You are permitted to detach Shoe Ration Stomps from your ration book when buying

shoes by mail (but not when buying in a retail store). Send just the stamp. Do

not send entire ration book.
