WAYS TO ORDER
YOUR CORRECT SHOE SIZE
*
1
Tell us your shoe si:re . . lengt:1 and width •.
if
you know it
For men ond women only-not for children.
{For children, use 4..point
measuring system.) Make sure that shoes you order are sold in your
particular size and width.
If
you have worn a particular size or type
of shoe comfortably, you will certainly find it satisfactory and con–
venient to order the same size in your new shoes.
or
2
Give us all numbers 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
3
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 stond as this will spread the foot
and result in an incorrect ineasurement. Our measurements allow for
normal spread of foot when standing.
Mark this piece of paper as shown
in tM four illustrations below.
Have someone else hold the knife
straight up and down at the tip of
your longest toe as shown in Point
Number
1
above, and make a mark
with the pencil along the
outside
edge of the point of the knife.
Next, have the knife blade placed
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 and down.
Have
knife blade moved
to
the
joint of the inside of the foot (widest
port), as shown in Point Number 2
above, and again make
a
mark with
the pencil along the outside edge
of the blade.
And
last, hove knife blade placed
at widest part of the outside of your
foot, as 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–
cil 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 with
catalog number noted). Sears 4-Point Foot Meas–
urement gives us all the information we need to
determine your correct shoe size.
