How to choose the right shoe size for online shopping

 Online shopping has opened a whole new world to customers. Buying footwears online means more choices and better prices. However, the different shoe size standards followed by brands can be confusing for customers. This usually results in the process of exchange and return, which can be nerve cracking, at times. With the growing popularity of online stores, consumers are increasingly choosing to conveniently shop online. You can actually dress from head to toe without even stepping foot outside. You may have thought that you can only buy a beautiful dress or an elegant handbag online, but now, you can also buy shoes without worrying about choosing the wrong size. If you spot some single, most beautiful shoes online, don’t let the fear of choosing the wrong size stop you from buying them! Instead, just measure the length of your foot and hurry to enjoy that new pair of shoes!

 


When it comes to choosing the right size of footwears online, get 5 types of measurements: cm, UK, US, EU & inches. Measure your feet from heel to toe. Measure both feet because some people have feet of different sizes. But a shoe size that is the larger of the two. Getting an accurate foot size measurement is important before buying footwear. The reason is that wearing a wrong size can cause damages such as abrasions, blisters and even back pain.

 

Other factors to consider when choosing the correct shoe size for shopping online include:

1.      The shape of the shoe and your feet: It is very important to pay attention to the footwear model you choose. Shoes with a pointed nose should be chosen a size larger because the model itself is a bit smaller. If your foot is especially wide, we recommend avoiding pointed shoes. Rather buy pointed shoes in a larger size so that your feet do not feel cramped. Check charts to see how wide/narrow your feet are at https://sizecharter.com/clothing-fit-and-measurement/understanding-shoe-sizing

 

2.      Half sizes: Sometimes, people have half-sized feet. If this is the case for you, choose shoes from the trademarks that feature half sizes in their size charts.

 

3.      Seasonality: Pay close attention to seasonality. This is expressed when during the wet season (or summer), the feet are often swollen and sometimes larger than during the harmattan (or winter). So it is best to always measure your feet before purchasing footwears online and order them in larger sizes to accommodate the changing weather.

 

Measuring your foot size at home is easy. No need to use any special equipment. To do so, all you need are two pieces of paper (larger than both feet), a ruler or a measuring tape and a marker.

Steps to be taken

·        Set a piece of paper on a flat surface

 




 



·        Place one foot on the paper

 

 


·        Draw an outline of your foot

 


 

 

·        Mark the longest & widest part of the foot

 


 

·        Repeat a similar procedure for the other foot

 

 


·        Check the size chart to find your shoe size

Valentine's day dress code

Image
 It is a silent rule that comes every 14th day of February, the dress code is red or a touch of red. Well I'lld say that when I was younger, I used to observe this rule whether or not I had anyone I was dating at the time. But this year, I decided to do things differently and I boldly put on a black gown (with a touch of gold) to church. I tried to observe those that were putting on red or a touch of it and I noticed they were mainly children and the aged ones, lol. Then I wondered, why the 'lovers' didn't observe the silent rule🤷. As for me, I went neutral, as black fits perfectly into any occasion, more so, I had some gold embroideries. I matched it with lovely gold shoes and purse gotten from the store @glamchic.collections 👇. You should check our lovely collection out.  HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO YOU AND YOURS.

Leather Handbags and Shoes- caring for them

Image
When it comes to leather handbags and shoes, the care given to them has to be different from that given to rubber or suede items. The reason is that leather wears tend to react very easily to the variations in temperature especially in temperate regions like Africa ( of which Nigeria is a part of). Not only is heat the enemy of leather items, water is too; so preventive measures to make sure that leather doesn't get wet is a must. There are a number of water and stain repellant products on the market and treating your goods before using them is a great first step. Bear in mind that this won't make them 100% waterproof though, so try not to use your leather goods in wet conditions!   Leather in general is quite porous, and it will loose moisture through evaporation. Cream polishes are also a great way to bring out the shine, add a bit of colour to faded leather and also help moisturize the leather. Just make sure you choose a matching polish for the shoe or bag, for instance, an
