Whenever you go to buy footwear in India, you will see shoes with UK-US numbers. Because till now the shoes and slippers sold in India are of American or European sizes. This is the reason why many times these shoes do not fit the feet of the people of our country. Not only this, sometimes even shoes and slippers are not available when the size is bigger. But now the numbers of footwear are about to change in India. Know what will be the codes of these footwear numbers.
indian standard
Till now, American and European standards were used for footwear in India. But now Indian standards of footwear are being prepared. According to the information, from next year i.e. 2025, companies will separately produce footwear for Indians. For this, the code ‘Bha’ has been kept, which means India. However, it is yet to get approval from the Bureau of Indian Standards.
Survey conducted regarding size
Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and Central Leather Research Institute has conducted a survey all over India. It was also revealed that the size of the feet of women increases till the age of 11 years, whereas in men it continues to grow till the age of 15-16 years.
Let us tell you that the biggest reason for this change is the big market of India. Here every Indian has an average of 1.5 shoes. 50% of footwear purchased online is returned because it is not the correct size. With this new system, now companies will have to make footwear in size 8 instead of 10. A survey was conducted between December 2021 and March 2022 to understand the shape and size of the foot. About 1,01,880 people living in 79 places in five geographical areas were included in this survey.
3d scan
Let us tell you that 3D foot scanning machines were deployed to understand the shape, dimensions and structure of the Indian foot. Which found that the change in foot size of an average Indian woman peaks at the age of 11, while the change in foot size of an Indian man occurs at around 15 or 16 years.
