Have you ever wondered what the letter code on your shoes meant? One thing that many people are unaware of is that there are many different letters used on the sizing scale to describe just how big or small a particular pair of footwear will be for your foot.

For example, a pair of tennis shoes that has '8C' on the box will most likely be a size 39. This is one of the bigger sizes and it is often reserved for those people that are slightly taller or have wider feet.

However, when shopping for your next new pair of shoes, it is good to know that not all letters on the chart explain certain things about how the shoe will fit your foot.

For example, an '8C' actually denotes a dimension size for any type of shoe whether it be for athletic shoes, dress shoes or sandals. So no matter how big or small you are, it is still important that shoes fit your foot and not the other way around.

This is why it is always best when shopping for new shoes to know how many you should be wearing based on your shoe size.

A great way to do this is with a pair of measuring sticks which you can easily buy at any local store, but if you are in a rush, one quick online search should reveal plenty of options.

If you do not own a pair of measuring sticks and plan on buying new shoes, simply ensure that the store you visit provides a good fit and that they are made out of quality materials.

Keep in mind that as we age, our feet tend to get bigger, so the shoes you purchase when you are 30 will not be the same size as those you purchased when you are 20. So always remember to measure your foot frequently so that your shoes always fit comfortably.
