ISO/TC 137 - Footwear sizing designations and marking systems

This document contains the sizing of last systems for daily wear footwear including casual footwear, sports footwear and rain footwear.

This document provides three shoe size conversion tables covering the major shoe sizing systems (Mondopoint, European and United Kingdom), as well as China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and United States. The tables are based on measurement of foot length, this being the logical starting point for any shoe size marking system. The tables contain the following information: Table 1 — Adults’ technical shoe size conversion; Table 2 — Adults’ recommended shoe size marking (simplified); Table 3 — Children's size conversion. NOTE Due to the different ways in which each system has been developed and interpreted over many years without being formalized and the absence of solution to the problem of shoe size conversions, Tables 1 and 2 provide a guideline which can benefit the consumer.

ISO/TS 19408:2015 defines terms commonly used for measuring feet and lasts and for determining the size of footwear. This vocabulary complements ISO 19952, Footwear ? Vocabulary. The term "shoe" means all types of footwear.

This document specifies methods to measure the basic last dimensions. Last dimensions can be measured physically using a real last or virtually on a digital 3D model using suitable software to make equivalent measurements. These test methods are applicable to all types of lasts. NOTE The specified last dimensions do not necessarily correspond with anatomical foot positions and foot dimensions.

This document specifies a method for measuring the effective shoe length to accommodate the foot. This document is not applicable to heel and toe open shoes (example: sandals).

This document specifies a method of designation and marking of footwear size called Mondopoint, based on defined measurements of the foot that the footwear is intended to fit. This document is applicable to all types of footwear.

ISO/TS 19407:2015 comprises three shoe size conversion tables covering the major shoe sizing systems (Mondopoint, European and United Kingdom, as well as China, Japan and United States). The tables are based on measurement of foot length, this being the logical starting point for any shoe size marking system. The tables contain the following information: Table 1 ? Adults' technical shoe size conversion; Table 2 ? Adults' recommended shoe size marking (simplified); Table 3 ? Children's size conversion.

Specifies the method of size marking for shoes and applies to all types of shoe, without restriction. This first edition cancels and replaces ISO 2816, ISO 3355, and ISO 3844.
