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.

D
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

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.
