know
It

(For children, use 4-point

particular ,ize and width.

venient to order the same size in your new shoe5'i
~r
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 bought it at Sears or not ... and your new Sears shoes
will fit just as comfortably. Be sure to include any dashes that occur,
as they sometimes indicate half sizes.
or

Use Sears Scientific 4-point measuring system
For men, women, older boys, girls and
children. .. Take a piece of blank pa–
per large enough to fit under your foot
... an ordinary kitchen knife ... and
a sharp pencil.
Sit on a chair
and let
the foot which gives you the most trou–
ble 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
in the four illustrations below.
Hove someone else hold the knife
straight up and down at the tip of
your longest toe as shown in Point
Number 1 above, and moke a mark
with the pencil along the outside
edge of the point of the knife.
Next, hove the knife blade ploced
at bock 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 ond down.
Hove knife blade moved to the
joint of the inside of the foot
lwid~
est port), as shown in Point Number
2 above, and again make o mark
with the pencil along the outside
edge of the blade.
And lost, have knife blode placed
ot widest part of the outside of your
foot, os shown in Point Number 4.
This gives us your exact foot meas·
urement so do not send us pencil
outlines of your foot.
You now will have a piece of paper with four pen-
[J
cil marks on it as shown at the right. Enclose this
-
piece of paper with your order blank (if ordering
I
