[@aprilleppard4848]

The secret with kids shoes is to always buy the size up from what you think they need then put them away until they fit, then forget they exist and find them when they have grown out of them. I find that has worked fairly consistently for me 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@SRose-fx1cp]

This, yes! We are not alone in the universe 😆

[@valueinvestor77]

My wife is skilled at this!

[@amandascheerbaum5883]

I always buy shoes for the “next kid” because I forget I bought them for the current kid. 🤪

[@Queina1]

Yea I did that. Bought my son a pair of sandels at the end of season sale, a size or 2 larger than he actually wore, for the next summer. Then promptly forgot about them and found them 3 years later.

[@amberb2376]

Hahaha!

[@lightbloom986]

Although he said he was confused, Jason did very well keeping up with that information. Give him a raise!!

[@cloudcretang2920]

Shoe maker taught me there's only 2 sizes. The one that fits and rest, don't trust the number

[@loraineriddell7157]

That's really true 😂.

[@moony2703]

@@myopinion69420 Also the dreaded half pocket that _looks_ like a full pocket right up until you try to put your hand in one. That moment when you are eyeing the models’ hands in that cool ‘hands in pockets with the thumb out’ position and the guy’s hands have practically vanished but the female can only fit her hand in halfway. Me just mentally going: I feel like all online pants models need to do this just so I know what I’m getting myself into. Also just waiting for the day that global shipping and online shopping is so mainstream that they finally create universal sizing. Maybe then there would be less ‘people ordering three different sizes just so they can figure out what fits and return the rest’ type issues.

[@angiepants9219]

There should be one where Jason snaps, and declares he's now in charge 🤣🤣

[@Vorash00]

It needs to be on something very sensibly done OR the extreme opposite where it’s just terrible (after all he has snapped) and the guy who decides things declares If he keeps up the good work he might be in for a promotion.

The guy that decides imperial measurements. Jason snaps, invents metric. Then see's the mess having 2 systems creates, incompatibilities, and people using it differently, e.g. no one uses decimetres.

[@moniquem783]

Why do I get the feeling that Jimmy has just been out buying his kids some new shoes???

[@bjw4859]

I can really relate to that, I don't have an exotic shoe collection, work boots & hiking boots & still most have different numbers, so I swapped to decent sandals for normal walking, no idea what size they are, that's what Velcro is for.

Too true. The size number is pretty much irrelevant. You have to try, as not even the same brand would have the size universal against their own product lines.

Just LOVE long-suffering employee Jason and his silly, perpetually sloshed boss ‘Sir’. Hilarious.👏 More please!!!

[@thomaskositzki9424]

"Sloshed" cracked me up. Being a German I am amazed how many words the English language has for being drunk. We Germans have at most 30% of your variety and I always thought we were passionate drunkards. 😂😂😂

[@cadsuane]

In Australia, mens shoes size is the same as the UK. The womens shoes size is the same as the US.

[@adedow1333]

Woah wait what?!

[@juliettestofmeel]

They like to tell you the woman’s sizes are the same but my Au11/US12 feet would like to dispute that (US sizing is generally at least 1/2 -1 size smaller than Au sizing no matter what brand). Maybe it’s just like that in the larger sizes 🤷🏼‍♀️.

[@profonde3460]

Worked in & managed retail footwear stores for a long time and while I knew what the conversions were (usually lol), I didn't know what each system used as the original measurement, & just knew Europe was cm, sort of

It would, I guess, make sense that it was decided by a man and a drunk one at that.

[@Alan_Hans__]

If you understand shoe sizes then you are the only person on the planet.

[@Lilypond3021]

Jimmy you never cease to amaze me! Why on earth would you be researching shoe sizes? What must be going on in that head of yours? So now you’ve tweaked my curiosity 🤔🤓 The following length units are commonly used today to define shoe-size systems: The Paris point equates to 2⁄3 centimetre (6.67 mm; 0.26 in). Whole sizes are incremented by 1 Paris point; this corresponds to 3.33 millimetres (0.131 in) between half sizes. This unit is commonly used in Continental Europe, and Russia and former USSR countries. The barleycorn is an old English unit that equates to 1⁄3 inch (8.47 mm). This is the basis for current UK and North American shoe sizes, with the largest shoe size taken as twelve inches (a size 12) i.e. 30.5 cm, and then counting backwards in barleycorn units, so a size 11 is 11.67 inches or 29.6 cm. Metric measurements in millimetres (mm) or centimetres (CM), with intervals of 5 mm and 7.5 mm are used in the international Mondopoint system (USSR/Russia and East Asia).
