ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Shoe size

Shoe size is like how we measure things to figure out what size something is, like how big a pizza needs to be for everyone to have enough to eat. Shoes are things that we wear to protect our feet and make us comfortable when we walk or run. In order for shoes to work properly, they need to be the right size for our feet!

When you go to get new shoes, someone will measure your feet to see how big they are. They will usually use a special tool that measures the length and width of your feet. They will then use these measurements to figure out what size shoes you need.

Different brands of shoes may have different sizes, so it's important to try them on first to make sure they fit well. Wearing shoes that are too small can hurt your feet and make it hard to walk or run. Wearing shoes that are too big can also be uncomfortable and make it hard to move around.

It's important to make sure you wear the right size shoes for your feet so that you're comfortable and your feet stay healthy!
