Systems of Measurement

Different countries are following different types of sizing systems. Among them some are:

1. French System:
Also called as Paris point or Continental system. The length difference between two successive sizes 2/3 cm i.e. 1 Paris Point = 2/3cm or 6.66mm

2. English System :
Also called as UK system or British system. Here the length difference between two successive sizes is 1/3" or 8.46mm. There is 1/2 sizes also. Here the scale starts with '0' at 4" and runs upto 13 i.e. 8 1/3" (called children's range length difference 1/3") and at 8 2/3" it starts again with 1 and proceeds with intervals of 1/3".
1 Size = 1/3" or 8.46mm
1/2 Size = 1/6" or 4.23mm
3. American System :
This is identical to English system but it starts at 3 11/12" and with a size difference of 1/3". But because of size marking practice in America 1 size is added to English size to get American men size, 1 1/2 size is added to women size and 1/2 size to children's size.

4. Mondo Point :
Here the size intervals between the two successive sizes 5 mm or 7.5 mm depending on the type of footwear. (7.5 mm increment normally use for moulded footwear to reduce the cost of moulds.)

5. Centimeter System :
Here the sizes are measured in centimeters.
