The word moccasins was first introduced into English in 1612, from a Virginia Algonquian language, most likely Powhatan (makasin ‘shoe’), though similar words exist in Narragansett (mokussin), Micmac (m’kusun), and Ojibwa (makasin).

The term is used in a general sense to refer to any piece of footwear made of soft leather (most often deerskin). The shoes are most often incredibly pliable and soft, allowing for hunters to walk virtually silently. Being made of leather, they also soak up liquid easily and lend good traction.

Moccasins

Specifically, the term is used to denote leather footwear worn by many native tribes of North America. Many moccasins are decorated with beads, shells, or other adornments, depending on the tribe and particular use.

In the western plains and desert, moccasins were usually hard soled to protect their wearer’s feet from sharp rocks and cacti. The Apache moccasin include a toe that is turned up to prevent thorns or slender rocks from entering the seam and stabbing the foot.

Other regional variations include decorative tongues amongst many tribes of the south-west, bits of leather hanging from the heel to eliminate footprints, and tiny tails that dragged behind the moccasin.

The actual pattern used for the moccasin is so distinctive that often a wearer’s tribe can be determined simply by examining the shape of the footprint: the Iroquois moccasin are wide on the bottom, while most eastern forest tribes are very thin; tribes of the Great Lakes often use rabbit-nose shaped toes, while in the plains the toes are much more flat.

Finally, the decoration of moccasins differs greatly depending on purpose and tribe. Many hunting moccasins are completely unadorned, consisting solely of a single piece of leather wrapped around the foot. Marriage moccasins among most tribes, on the other hand, are beaded entirely on the top. Many Plains tribes prepared special moccasins for the journey into the afterlife, and these moccasins are decorated with beads not only on the top and sides, but also on the soles.

Patterns can include floral patterns, geometric shapes, religious and spiritual symbols, and zoomorphic designs. Occasionally other materials, such as velvet, are added to the cuffs of the moccasin to lend particular distinction.

Many modern moccasin producers have sprung up in the past thirty years, boasting styles ranging from traditional tribal designs to Native American inspired ‘Celtic’ or ‘Australian’ moccasins.

Suede Brush are handy cleaning devices that help to keep a variety of suede clothing and accessories looking fresh and new. Equipped with a combination of soft and metal bristles, a brush can be used to revive the short nap on suede material while also helping to deal with surface stains. Many brushes are inexpensive, making it easy to keep several different sizes on hand for different projects.

These brushes traditionally have a long wooden handle, and a body that is composed of a solid wood base and a series of bristles. Usually, the brush will include two types of bristles. Metal bristles are located in the interior section of brush design, while softer bristles surround the perimeter. Horsehair is often used as the medium for the soft bristles. This combination of hard and soft bristles allows the suede brush to firmly deal with raising the nap and dislodging foreign substances, while still gently massaging the material.

Alt=Suede Brush

Several variations on the traditional suede brush are available today. One popular model configures the handle to also double as a shoehorn, which allows the device to easily provide double duty. As an additional advantage, the rubber head included on the shoe horn end of many models also serves as an excellent buffing agent for welts on the suede material.

One popular option for cleaning suede is kits that combine a cleaning agent with a brush, all in one unit. Typically, the cleaner is sprayed onto the suede item and allowed to set for a few moments. With the small brush situated on the top cap for the cleaner, the kits help to make it easy to keep the cleaner and the brush in a small case with suede shoes or gloves. Often, the brush included with these kits will be constructed of plastic bristles rather than a metal and horsehair combination.

Other gentle cleaning agents can be used with the suede brush, in professional cleaner is not available, but it is a good idea for individuals to read the cleaning instructions that come with the suede item, as different manufactures use a variety of treatments on the material that may negatively interact with different cleaning agents. People should always follow the manufacturer recommendations for cleaning and caring for suede, or they run the risk of permanently discoloring or otherwise damaging the texture of the item.

Commonly used to make boots, gloves and other fashion accessories, suede is a kind of leather with a smooth, velvet-like surface. The term was originally used in France to indicate a particular type of soft gloves imported from Sweden. Over time, the word came to refer to any leather material with a smooth nap finish.

Leather is manufactured from the skins of animals, generally cows. Once the skin has been removed from the animal, it is tanned in order to produce a supple, durable material that is used for a number of applications, such as manufacturing clothing and upholstering furniture. Leather that has not been sanded or split in any way is known as full-grain leather. Full-grain leather is usually manufactured from only the best, undamaged hides. As a result, it is the most expensive as well as the most durable of leathers.

When manufacturers seek to produce more material out of a single hide, the leather can be separated into two or more layers, or splits. These include the grain split, which is the outer surface of the hide, and the flesh split, or inner surface. In very thick hides, one or more middle splits may also be produced.

Alt=Suede

Generally, suede is created from either the inner split or the flesh split of a piece of leather. Because it comes from a thinner piece of hide, suede is less durable than full-grain leather. The nappy texture of the material also makes it more susceptible to damage from water and stains. However, because several pieces of suede can be produced from a single hide, it is also much less expensive than full-grain leather.

Although most suede is made from a split hide, it is also possible to produce suede from a full-grain piece of leather. The nappy finish can be achieved by abrading the surface of the leather, usually with an emery wheel. Suede that is manufactured from full-grain leather may also be called nubuck. Full-grain suede is usually more durable than the split-hide variety, but also more expensive.

A more durable and cheaper alternative to suede can be manufactured from synthetic materials. Unlike natural suede, the synthetic version is stain-resistant and not susceptible to water damage. Because of this, synthetic suede is frequently used to upholster furniture or other items that may need to sustain a lot of wear-and-tear.

The best way to clean suede is to use a dry sponge or a suede brush to remove dust and dirt. Suede footwear can also be protected with a silicon spray, which will prevent water damage and soil build-up. After the spray has been applied, the nap can be restored with sandpaper or an emery board.

Nubuck is a type of leather with a soft, velvety surface and is some of the most expensive leather to purchase. Unlike the less expensive suede, this type of leather is far more durable and is excellent for use on items like furniture because it will last much longer than suede. It is subject to the same kind of easy staining that occurs with suede and often requires pre-treatment or stain resistant protection to extend its life.

Alt=Nubuck

It’s easy to get confused about whether a leather item is nubuck or suede since both look and feel similar. Both types of leather are sanded to produce the velvet soft feel that is so desirable. The main difference is that nubuck is sanded on the outer surface of the leather, essentially the part that would have been the exterior skin of the animal, while suede is sanded on the inner layer of the skin.

Since the outside layer of a skin is much tougher, nubuck lasts much longer and responds very well to this sanding process. It does show imperfections in the exterior layer of the skin much more easily, and is often treated with dyes, sometimes simply clear ones, to disguise any significant flaws. The sanding process can create further imperfections when not done correctly, so nubuck may be color-treated to hide these too.
You will find nubuck used in a variety of applications. Furniture made with this material is highly desirable, but will come at a much more expensive price than furniture made from lower grade types of leather. Nubuck shoes and purses are popular, as is clothing. Some companies prefer to use it instead of suede so that a product will last longer. For example, the  classic sandal is made from nubuck instead of suede. The company chose this particular leather because it is so much stronger than suede and will wear well with time.

Naturally, all nubuck is subject to significant staining and requires proper care even when it is stain treated. Unlike flat leather, you can’t use shoe polish on this material because of its nap. Instead, many leather manufacturers suggest one way to keep it from getting permanent stains is to use a brush on the leather regularly to remove any small dust particles. If you have furniture made of nubuck, you should additionally vacuum the furniture about once a week to remove dust.

If you do spill liquids on nubuck, it’s important to use cotton cloths to try to soak up as much of the spill as possible. You can buy special leather cleaners that are approved for the material that can help remove oily stains. Most cleaners suggest not allowing the stain to dry since it is much harder to remove a stain on nubuck after it has fully dried. Generally the older the stain, the more difficult it is to remove.

The easy stain properties of nubuck should be a consideration when you make a purchase. The material may be perfect for the home where adults are quite careful when they sit on the furniture. The expense may not be worth it, on the other hand, if you have young children or animals that like to leap onto furniture.

Knowing your shoe width is important when purchasing new shoes. To determine your shoe width, you will need to measure your foot with a pen and paper. Once you measure your foot, a size chart can help you determine your shoe width for any given pair of shoes.

Part1

Measuring Your Foot

1

Place your foot on a piece of paper while seated. Sit down with your back straight on a chair. Take a piece of paper big enough for your whole foot to fit on. Place your foot flat on the paper.

  • If you intend to wear socks with the shoe you’re buying, wear those socks while measuring your foot.

2

Trace your foot. With a pen or pencil, trace the outline of your foot. Keep the pen or pencil as close to your foot as possible. This will help ensure an accurate measurement.

  • You’ll get the most accurate measurement if you have someone else trace your foot while you remain seated upright, but it’s okay to do it yourself.

3

Repeat with the other foot. After you finish measuring your first foot, do the exact same process with the second foot. Feet are usually slightly different in size, so you’ll be picking shoes with your larger foot in mind.

4

Measure the width between the widest points of your foot. Identify the areas on your feet with the largest width. Take a tape measure or ruler to measure both widths.

5

Subtract to find your shoe width. The first measurements will not be entirely accurate. The pencil will have created a small amount of space, making your measurements slightly larger than your actual feet. To determine your most accurate foot width, subtract 5 millimeters or 1/5 of an inch from each measurement.

Part2

Determining Your Shoe Size

1

Measure your foot length. Shoe width varies by shoe size. To determine shoe width, measure the distance between the longest part of each foot. Then, subtract 5 millimeters or 1/5 of an inch.

2

Identify your shoe size. With a simple internet search, you can find a general size chart for shoe size. Match the length of your foot with the corresponding shoe size. But also take note that there are different size charts based on gender.

  • For example, a foot around 8.5 (21.6 centimeters) inches would be a size 5 in women’s based on US sizes. In European countries, the measurement 8.5 would be a 35 or 36.

3

Figure out your width based on that size. The size chart should indicate your width based on your shoe size. After identifying your shoe size, look back to the width measurements of your bigger foot. Figure out what the width would be for your shoe size based on that measurement.

  • For example, a woman with size 5 shoes with a shoe width around four inches (10.16 centimeters) would require an extra wide shoe. In stores, extra wide shoes are normally labeled as “E.”

4

Use specific sizing charts when possible. Every sizing chart is different and some company’s shoes may run slightly smaller or larger than average. When buying shoes, see if the manufacturer has a specific sizing chart before assuming your shoe size based on a general chart. This will help increase the likelihood shoes will fit properly, especially if you’re making purchases online.

 

Part3

Ensuring Accuracy

1

Measure your feet at the end of the day. The size of your feet fluctuate throughout the day. Feet tend to get bigger at night due to swelling. Measure your feet at night to make sure your shoe will fit throughout the course of a day.

2

Measure while wearing the socks you’ll use with your shoes. If you’re going to typically wear socks with your shoes, put your socks on before measuring your feet. For example, running or gym shoes are typically worn with socks, so put on your normal workout socks when measuring your feet.

  • Some shoes, like sandals and some flats, usually are not worn with socks. In this case, it’s unnecessary to wear socks while measuring your shoes.

3

Try shoes on prior to purchase. Shoe size and width can help you find shoes with a higher chance of fitting. However, even if the measurements are correct, things like the shape of your feet can affect how a shoe fits. It’s always better to try shoes on prior to purchase.

  • If you do order shoes online, make sure it’s from a company that allows you to return them for a full refund if they don’t fit.

4

Buy shoes that will fit your largest foot. One foot is usually a little bigger than the other. Use this foot’s measurements to determine your shoe’s widths. This way, your shoes will fit comfortably on both feet.

Shoe sizes are measured very different around the world, which makes buying shoes in different country a bit difficult. Luckily, some simple adding and subtracting can help you find your correct size right in the store. If you have more time, you can try looking up a conversion chart. Either way, you’ll be able to find your size with ease and ensure that your shoes fit you just right!

Method1

Calculating Women’s Sizes

1

Use the US size when buying Canadian shoes. US and Canadian shoe sizes are transformable in both men’s and women’s, so you won’t have to do a conversion to switch back and forth. This also means that you can use the Canadian size when doing conversions, since it’s the same as the US size.

  • If you wear a US women’s size 8, for example, you’d wear a size 8 in Canadian women’s as well.

2

Convert from US women’s to men’s sizes by subtracting 1.5. Although exact sizes are different between various shoe brands, US women’s shoes should be smaller than men’s by about 1.5 sizes. This means that if a women’s shoe has the same length and width as a men’s shoe, the women’s size will be 1.5 more than the men’s. You can subtract 1.5 from a women’s size to get the men’s equivalent, or add 1.5 sizes to a men’s size to convert to women’s.

  • For example, if you wear a women’s 9, you’ll wear a 7.5 of men’s.
  • If you wear a men’s 10, you’ll wear a women’s 11.5.

3

Convert from a women’s US size to an EU size by adding 30 or 30.5. EU sizes don’t have half size, so if your US size is a whole number, you’ll add 30 to get your EU size. If your US size is a half size, you’ll add 30.5.

  • For example, if US women’s size is 7.5, you’d add 30.5 to get your EU size of 38.
  • If your US size is 7, add 30 to get your EU size 37.
  • To go from an EU women’s size to a US women’s size, subtract 30 and try a shoe in that size. Then try the same shoe in a half size smaller and choose whichever one feels best to you.

4

Go from a US women’s to a UK women’s size by subtracting 2. If you’re starting with a US women’s size, simply subtract 2 to get your size in UK women’s shoes. If you want to know your US women’s size, add 2 to your UK size.

  • For example, if your US women’s size is 6, you would be size 4 in UK sizes.

5

Get your Australian shoe size by subtracting 2.5 from your US size. If you want to know women’s shoes size of Australia, simply subtract 2.5 from US women’s size. If you need to convert an Australian women’s size to American, add 2.5.

  • For example, if a US size 9, you would need an 11.5 in Australian shoes.

6

Add 16 to your US women’s size to get your Japanese size. Japanese sizes are actually measured in centimeters, but if you don’t want to measure your foot with a ruler, you can simply add 16 to your US women’s size. When converting from Japanese to US women’s sizes, subtract 16.

  • For example, if you wear a size 8 in US women’s shoes, you’d wear a size 24 in Japanese women’s shoes.

7

Get your Asian women’s shoe size by adding 16.5 to US size. Other Asian countries besides Japan use a different measuring way. These sizes a little different and the conversion might not be accurately, but you can approximate your size by adding 16.5 to your US women’s shoe size.

  • For example, if you wear a 10 in US women’s shoes, your Asian women’s shoe size would be about 26.5.
  • This size method is used in China and Hong Kong, and some other countries.

8

Combine conversions as necessary. Depending on what region your known shoe size is from, you may have to do a couple quick conversions to get to your desired size. Write the calculations with a pencil and a slip of paper, or use a calculator for an easier approach.

  • For example, if your UK women’s shoe size is 6 and you want to get your Australian size, you could add 2 to find your US size, an 8, then subtract 2.5 to get to your Australian size, size 5.5.
  • If your EU shoe size is 38 and you want to get your Japanese size, you would subtract 30 to get your US size, an 8, then add 16 to get your Japanese size, size 24.

Method2

Calculating Men’s Sizes

1

Use your US size when buying Canadian shoes. Good news: US and Canadian shoe sizes are interchangeable in both men’s and women’s, so no conversion is needed to switch back and forth. You can also use your Canadian size when doing conversions to other regions, since it’s the same as your US size.

  • For example, if you wear a US men’s size 10, you’d wear a size 10 in Canadian men’s as well.

2

Convert from US men’s to women’s by adding 1.5. Although exact sizes differ between shoe brands, US men’s shoes are typically larger than women’s by about 1.5 sizes. This means that if a men’s shoe has the same length and width as a women’s shoe, the men’s size will be 1.5 less than the women’s. You can subtract 1.5 from a women’s size to get the men’s size, or add 1.5 sizes to a men’s size to convert to women’s.

  • For example, if you wear a men’s 10, you should wear a women’s 11.5.
  • If you wear a women’s 9, you should wear a 7.5 in men’s.

3

Convert from a US men’s size to an EU size by adding 32.5 or 33. Since there are no half sizes in European shoes, you have to convert a men’s shoe size differently depending on your US size. If you wear a half size in US shoes, add 32.5 to get your EU size. If you wear a whole size in US shoes, add 33 to get your EU size.

  • For example, if you’re an 11.5 in US men’s shoes, you’ll be a 34 in EU shoes.
  • If you’re going from an EU men’s size to a US men’s size, subtract 33 and try on a shoe in that size. Then try the same shoe in a half size smaller and choose whichever one feels best to you.

4

Get a men’s UK or Australian size by subtracting 0.5 from your US size. In men’s shoes, UK and Australian sizes are equivalent. You can subtract a half size from your US men’s size to get your size in UK and Australian shoes, or add a half size if you’re going the other way.

  • For example, if you wear a 13 in US men’s shoes, you’d be a 12.5 in UK and Australian men’s shoes.

5

Find a Japanese men’s shoe size by adding 18.5 to your US size. Japanese sizes are measured in centimeters, but you can find yours without measuring your foot by simply adding 18.5 to your US size. To determine your US men’s shoe size from your Japanese size, subtract 18.5 instead.

  • If you wear a size 9 in US men’s shoes, for example, you’d wear a 27.5 in Japanese men’s.

6

Estimate your Asian men’s shoe size by adding 17.5 to your US size. Asian shoe sizes, used in areas of the continent other than Japan, such as China and Hong Kong, vary more and are harder to exactly determine. You can approximate your Asian men’s shoe size by adding 17.5 to your US shoe size, but it’s best to try the shoes on beforehand to make sure that they fit.

  • If you wear a US men’s size 8, for example, your Asian men’s size will be around a 25.5.

7

Combine conversions if you have to. A few quick conversions can help you find your shoe size no matter what region your known size is from. Simply convert your size to US size, then use the conversion rules to calculate your size in the desired region. You can use a calculator or write out the calculations on a piece of paper to keep track of them.

  • For example, if your UK men’s shoe size is a 9.5 and you want to get your EU size, you could add 0.5 to find your US size, 10, then add 33 to get to your EU size, 43.
  • If your EU size is a 46 and you want to estimate your Asian size, you would subtract 33 to get your US size,13, then add 17.5 to find your size in Asian men’s shoes, about 30.5.

Method3

Consulting a Size Conversion Chart

1

Use a size chart from your desired brand for the most accuracy. A shoe size conversion chart is a table that shows shoe sizes from multiple countries, arranged so that all equivalent sizes are right in line with each other. Some larger shoe brands have their own conversion charts, so you can know exactly what size will fit you best. To find one, go online and search for “shoe size conversion chart,” including the name brand you’re looking for.

  • For example, your search could be, “shoe size conversion chart men’s Nikes.”

2

Consult a general conversion chart for convenient, close estimates. If your desired shoe brand doesn’t offer a sizing chart, look up a general one online. Search for “shoe size conversion chart” and click on one that contains both your current and desired region.

  • For more precise results, you can include the names of both regions in your search. You could type, for example, “shoe size conversion chart women’s UK EU.”

3

Find your regular shoe size or foot length in the chart. First, make sure that you’re looking at the chart for the correct gender. Then, look through the columns to find the region of your known shoe size. Then, simply scroll down that column until you find your shoe size.

  • For example, if you know that you’re a size 39 in EU women’s, find the EU column in the women’s chart, then look down the list until you find size 39.

4

Look at the size equivalents in other columns. To find your new size, simply check  across the columns until you find your desired region. The size listed there will be your size in that region.

  • For example, if you know you’re an EU women’s size 39, follow that horizontal row across until you get to the UK column. The size you see there, 6, is your UK women’s shoe size.

Tips

  • If you don’t know your shoe size yet, you can find it by standing and tracing around your foot on a piece of plain paper. Use a ruler or a tape measure to measure the distance from the center of your heel to the tip of your toe. Write down the measurement in inches or centimeters and use a size chart to match the measurement to a size from any region.

Sometimes we’ve all tried to wear shoes which were too small or too big for us. It’s no fun, and you risk potential injury. Knowing your exact shoe size is needed to buy shoes. Finding your shoe size before you shop saves your time in the store and helps you avoid buying a pair that doesn’t fit having to return them. Just follow the steps below to find out suitable shoe size!

Part 1

Measure your Foot at Home

1

Tape a piece of paper down to the floor. You are going to trace an outline of your foot to measure, so avoid doing this on carpet or any other surface that will be difficult to write on.

alt=Shoe Size

2

Place your foot firmly on top of the piece of paper. Your leg should be bent slightly and your shin should be in front of your ankle. Try to put your foot perpendicular to any lines on your paper. You can stand, sit on a chair or crouch down.

Draw the outline of your foot all the way around. You can wear the socks you are planning to wear with the shoes you would like to buy, but don’t wear shoes.

Mark the length and width of your foot on the paper. Use your marker to draw straight line touching each side of the outline.

Measure the length of your foot. Use a tape measure or ruler to measure from the top to bottom. Write this number down. This number will largely determine your shoe size.

Measure the width of your foot. Measure between the lines on the left and right sides and write the number down. Many shoes come in different widths, so this number will determine which version to buy.

Subtract 3/16ths of an inch from each number. This is to accommodate the small space between the line made by the pencil and your actual foot.

Use your length and width measurements to find your shoe size on a sizing chart. Men and women use different sizes, as do different countries.

Community Q&A

What if my length and width give me different shoe sizes?

Then you may have a narrower or wider than average foot (size D width) and may need to special order online if you can’t find a store near you that carries shoes to your specification.

I see a chart for mens’ shoe width but not for womens’. Where is the one for women?

The article explains that a women’s average width is a B and a women’s narrow is an A or below, while the men’s average is a D. Even though the chart they are using is titled “Men’s Shoe Width…”, it is actually the same chart for men and for women — the article just didn’t make that clear.

Is it okay if my thumb touches in front or shall I go for the next size up?

Yes its okay. After some days they become loose. If its uncomfortable or paining, then only choose the next size.

How can I determine my exact shoe size when buying shoes from the internet?

Most websites that sell shoes will have a sizing chart that you can refer to. If the website does not have a sizing chart, then you can order a size that is similar to the size you are currently wearing. If the shoe arrives and it does not fit, see if you can return it; most online shops have a flexible return policy.

Why don’t the women’s shoes go up to a size 11, and wider?

The reason is because it’s so uncommon that it just doesn’t make sense to a shoe store to keep that size in stock. Most of the time, they need to be specially ordered online from a manufacturer directly or from an online shoe store that carries your size.

When I take a ruler and measure my foot it’s a 9 1/2 but my shoe size is 7 to 7.5. What is causing such a big difference in shoe sizing?

It could be the differences in different shoe manufacturers’ standards. Also, a shoe with a wide rounded toe will allow your foot to slide deeper into the shoe because of the full rounded toe. A pad for the ball of the foot can be placed under the insole to prevent your foot from sliding deep into the shoe–a shoe salesman did this for me once when fitting me for a pair of shoes.

Does playing tennis require a larger size?

No, many play tennis with the exact same trainers they wear every day, so you’ll be fine.

Should I purchase a trainer a half a size larger than my normal size?

It depends on the purpose for which you will be wearing the shoes. The average sports-player needs less of a different size than supports (stiffer versus softer structures in differing areas) for their particular sport, to avoid injury. Those who are especially active or train for long periods (such as marathon runners), to a degree by which the shoe must accommodate swelling, do need to purchase larger shoes. However, if you are that serious about sport, you should be professionally fitted by shops that sell shoes for your sport, e.g. a hiking store for outdoorsmen or a sports store. They not only have better advice than the general guideline but a size replacement policy.

Why does my foot slide forward in my shoe?

Your shoe is likely too big. Try to get a foam or gel heel insert. It goes on the inside of your shoe, right on the heel part.

Will it affect my shoe size if my second toe is longer than my big toe?

Most shoes do not have this problem but if your second toe touches the front of your shoe and the others don’t, your best bet is probably to just get the shoe in the next size.

Tips

  • Always try your shoes on first if you can.
  • Every brand of shoe fits each size slightly different, so be prepared to go up or down a a size.
