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 🤦🏻♀️
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.
@@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.

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.
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.
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.
😂😂😂 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!
😂😂😂😂😂 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.
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.
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.
"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. 😂😂😂
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 🤷🏼♀️.
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
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!
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👏🏻👍🏻🍸🍸🍸
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.
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) ;)
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 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 🤣🤣🤣
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 😩
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???
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.
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!”
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).
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.
I can tell you have kids because I came up against this insane shoe sizing system when I was trying to order my daughter new school shoes. She was a 2L and I was going to get her a 3L until I found out there were two 3Ls, one which was actually a 2L, but called a 3L. Nothing makes any sense. I thought asking the store what size they used would help, until I found out they sold both countries' shoes. I gave up and ended up taking her to a shop with me 😂
i'm french so we use the Paris point so, my shoes are sometimes 45 (good old fashioned "city" shoes or military boots), sometimes 46 (most of the time) and when i'm rich enough to buy fashion Nikes it's 47 (all sneakers and basket ball shoes) and sometimes, even 48 (cowboy boots for exemple).....what's my shoes size?
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 😂.
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!

Oh my god this system is so messed up even jimmy’s fantabulous explanation couldn’t explain it too me, which is a first 😢

Maybe you should get that checked out?

Haha. You're so clever to think of this. I'm often googling size conversion when buying online.
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.
“ mom, you got me the wrong size shoe I need a size larger by two Barleycorns”
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.
