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 🤦🏻♀️
This, yes! We are not alone in the universe 😆
My wife is skilled at this!
I always buy shoes for the “next kid” because I forget I bought them for the current kid. 🤪
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.
Hahaha!
Although he said he was confused, Jason did very well keeping up with that information. Give him a raise!!
Shoe maker taught me there's only 2 sizes. The one that fits and rest, don't trust the number
That's really true 😂.
There should be one where Jason snaps, and declares he's now in charge 🤣🤣
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.
@@Vorash00 I feel like it should be snapping from extreme silliness and he's now Jason is in charge, and you can be the idiot assistant but still calls him Sir 😂😂
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.
I'd love to hear the explanation of women's clothing sizes 🤔 you want a size 12 to be the same across all brands? Nope!!
YES! THIS!! (I'm feeling extremely triggered)
If he does this he's also gonna need to cover the frustration that is pockets (or lack thereof) in women's clothing
@@becsterbrisbane6275
Sir: We will give them pockets.
Jason: So they can put things in them sir?
Sir: [spits drink] NO JASON, Fake pockets!
@@myopinion69420 fake pockets?! OMG, what an anticlimax. You actually had me turned on there for a moment!!
@@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.
Why do I get the feeling that Jimmy has just been out buying his kids some new shoes???
Jason would be relieved to know that the Japanese system at least is based on foot length in centimetres.
The only shoe sizing system that makes sense
Some European countries use it too.
LOL
I am absolutely NOT surprised by that. Damn the Japanese are methodic and practical. Well done.
I fit boots for a living - this is the story of my life 🤣
😂😂😂
I now feel far less stupid for recently buying a pair of shoes from the UK and getting it majorly wrong! I reckon I was off by at least 4 barley corn! At least I could return them. Cost me $20 to send them back though!
Do bra sizes, Jimmy - they're totally nonsensical! 😂
I could see Jason perking up at the mention of the topic only to be completely 🤯 by the end. 😆
Careful what you ask for!
It would, I guess, make sense that it was decided by a man and a drunk one at that.
The more of these I watch the more I feel like I've unknowingly stepped into the prequel of Jason: The Man Who Obliterated Barleycorn from Existence.
Oh my god this system is so messed up even jimmy’s fantabulous explanation couldn’t explain it too me, which is a first 😢
Ah Jimmy. Too funny. I am a teacher of shoemaking and this cracks me up!
Can you please bring back widths? I used to be able to get my foot measured and fitted for length and width. Now every woman’s shoe is pretty much a B width.
@@kayelle8005 Yup! & they're doing away with half sizes too. We're all being forced into a box we don't fit... life, these days.
for someone that tried to do research on different measurements, i definently lost it at 'barelycorn' being a geneuiene form of measuring something
“A little more wiggle room” had me LOL 😆
I consider this as canon and essential training for anyone in the shoe vending industry 😂
Opening night here, and some of us were watching this in the dressing room during interval 🎭🎭🎫
Jimmy, you should make more 'stupid things kids say' video, they are HILARIOUS and I pee myself laughing each time! 😂
Maybe you should get that checked out?
Isn’t it normal 🥸
I have started looking at staff and reciting in my head 'NO, What are you, an idiot Jason?!!' That's a shirt!
Pretty sure it exists
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.
😂😂😂😂😂 this is so accurate. I work in a shoe shop and have made shoes before. It does my head in trying to explain to customers that shoe sizes aren't standard. You really need to try them on.
Just LOVE long-suffering employee Jason and his silly, perpetually sloshed boss ‘Sir’. Hilarious.👏 More please!!!
"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. 😂😂😂
"Excuse me sir, is that why we get corns on our feet from wearing certain shoes?"
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.
Jason knew he was in trouble when the guy who decided things had a big bottle of alcohol.....
Jason needs a payrise
Jason should show more respect for the Guy!
Haha. You're so clever to think of this. I'm often googling size conversion when buying online.
In Australia, mens shoes size is the same as the UK. The womens shoes size is the same as the US.
Woah wait what?!
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 🤷🏼♀️.
Jimmy, you are the modern day Seinfeld (you know, making something out of everyday stuff), but with a ton more versatility. You make us laugh. They imitate you at my wife’s work place by calling each other Jason Jason Jason when silly situations arise. Thank you.
Really does make sense that the person was drunk when they came up with these ideas
Jason, Jason, Jason !!!
That's definitely as clear as mud ! 🤣🤣🤣
No wonder it's so hard to buy shoes on the internet.
Poor Jason. He needs a raise and a (covid safe) hug. I offer myself as tribute!
Makes much more sense that The Guy Who Decides had the whole bottle, not just a glass. Especially for this one. Shoe sizing is the worst.
“ mom, you got me the wrong size shoe I need a size larger by two Barleycorns”
Wow! No wonder the guy who decides drinks a lot! He needs it to make sense of the research and explanation that goes into his work.
On a side note; Don’t trust barley cooorn!!!🤪🤪😂😂
Thanks for taking time to get this video out Jimmy👏🏻👍🏻🍸🍸🍸
Well, that's cleared that up then!! Brilliant!! :)
What's even worse is there is no standard width measurement! When I played soccer I could only buy a singular brand of boots as the rest were too narrow!
My sainted aunt! How much research went into that????
at least 12 barleycorns
@@Strainj1 🤣🤣.
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
Jimmy educating the masses :)
Jimmy, it's that bad??!! Drinking out of a bottle??!! Lol!😜🤣❤
Love your work. 👍🤗❤
"What, a whole bottle? Nooo..." 🤣🤣🤣
Bloody hell!! So that explains why it’s confusing to buy shoes online 🤦🏼♀️
This is best explanation of shoe sizes I've heard
LOL "Shutup Jason" and "Jason Jason Jason"...bloody cracks me up every time....I worry about this guy who decides things, he is on the bottle now.....bit of a worry hahahaahahahahaha sure his booze isnt MADE of Barley Corn???
Anyone who’s tried to order shoes from Amazon will relate to this video.
That was brilliant, although I am more confused now 😆
Just gold!!!.. my wife enjoyed the show last night, heard it was very funny. Keep up the awesome work mate!!!!
I am choking over here and I am not even half way into the video 🤣😂🤣
For a split second I was like "WTF... no glass for the Guy Who Decides?"!
I love his videos 😂 I laugh so hard everytime
You are So Bloody Funny.
I Love your videos ❣️
That globe is upside down and it’s so fitting in this video 🤣🤣🤣.
That was soooo confusing. Good work, Sir and Jason!
I work in shoes.This funny as it is,is pretty much true 🤣
Poor Jason! Coping it again! 😆
When he spits on his shirt, both Jason and Sir have spit on their shirts. Jimmy was too lazy to wipe it🤣
from someone who shoes size range from 11 to 14 this is too real
I think I need a bottle after that one🤣🤣🤣🤣....good one Jimmy!!!!!
Why DID they let a drunk guy come up with all these crazy measurements?
That's why I never order shoes from the internet.😂
I just bought shoes online and got the wrong size. I chose what i thought was 10 but chose US 10 which is a UK 9 and EU 43 which is too small. I was very frustrated and this video came at the right time.
reminds me, where are my US acquired size 11 (or is that 12) black brogues .. ? .. good stuff !!! (wont menion the A-E width issue, even more confusing) ;)
If you understand shoe sizes then you are the only person on the planet.
Loved the show last night! Thanks
that’s was amazing jimmy but still don’t get the shoe sizes 🤣
The guy who decides what dogs can eat
“Ice cream?”
“Sure Jason, dogs love that”
“With a strawberry”
“Absolutely”
“Maybe some grapes”
*spits out drink* “NO JASON, GRAPES MAKES THEM EXPLODE!”
That was very informative, thank you! I can see why you needed to drink straight from the bottle in this one.
I can really relate to this because I struggle to find good shoes that fit me.
My brain went to jelly during this video.
I dread when it's "that time" buying shoes for my son...lol 🤣🤣🤣
It's sooo confusing...lol 🤣🤣🤣 When are we gonna have a universal shoe chart for children & adults? Lol
I once purchased online what I thought were women's sandles for myself...only to receive male sandles & 3 sizes too big...oh dear lol 🤣🤣🤣
And while length size is given by shoe sellers they often say nothing about width.
Love your videos
Well, that was confusing. Hahaha.
My fave history channel
The Guy Who Decides,... Upgraded to a bottle, great work!!!
Suggestion; The Guy Who Decides.... Elections?!..
Looking forward to your new series on abc 😀
Also junior sizes!! They fall between kids and adults.. its nuts.
YEAAAA IM COMING NEXT WEEKEND TO YOUR SHOW!!!!!!
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).
Well I'm lost ... More confused about shoe sizes than before I started
Jason is leagues smarter than me, I don't even know what a Barney corn looks like.
Barley. It's a grain. Yes. They're literally using grain (like it's consistent) as the unit of measure on which to base shoes. I know. No wonder Sir needed a bottle to address the situation.
ooh - this might come in handy at a Trivia night!!
The One Who Decides has been drinking too much gin. 😏🍸
....and this is why Thongs/Flip Flops/Jandles were invented!
Waiting for the one for dress sizes now lol
Lol this is the best.
I got confused a lot faster than Jason
“No Jason!” Haha honestly though, just make them universal 🙄
Very interesting
Direction, go to open shop, ignore barley corn or pp, try random shoe, flop home, walk barefoot
What about when they are Asian sizes and you get 38, 39, 40, 41, 42,s I think Rivers do those for example. Being big footed it always bugged me I couldn’t get a 41 to fit as they were to small, and I needed the 42 or 43 if you were really lucky to find them lol.
I think that you should make a video about "the Guy who decides money 😂💵🤑😂😂😂
This was perfect
First to the party for the first time ever - I don’t get shoes for babies/toddlers 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I want to hear from The Guy who decides Microsoft's Word Menu. Page breaks are under the insert menu but section breaks that you insert are found under layout.
Considering he broke out the bottle this was rather simple.
Actually.
No it wasn’t.
This would be why I ended up sending two pairs of sketchers back - they were my size! Only they weren’t my size because not only do sketchers have sizes they also have normal and wide. I’d naturally bought two pairs in my size but normal instead of wide….online…during lockdown 6 😩
Exactly....let's bring up the transition to the bottle instead of the glass measurement... Does Jason's boss (AKA the guy who decides things) want to pretend he hasn't lost the plot by ironically talking about measurement?? 🤣😮😂
Very funnyJimmy. You should do one on sleeve lengths. Someone thinks we have arms like orangatangs
Yep, pretty accurate lol
Shut up Jason lol 😂
