This document provides three shoe size conversion tables covering the major shoe sizing systems (Mondopoint, European and United Kingdom), as well as China, Japan, the Republic of Korea and United States. The tables are based on measurement of foot length, this being the logical starting point for any shoe size marking system. The tables contain the following information: Table 1 — Adults’ technical shoe size conversion; Table 2 — Adults’ recommended shoe size marking (simplified); Table 3 — Children's size conversion. NOTE Due to the different ways in which each system has been developed and interpreted over many years without being formalized and the absence of solution to the problem of shoe size conversions, Tables 1 and 2 provide a guideline which can benefit the consumer.

The method aims to establish testing conditions that are similar to those of the practical use of footwear subjected to drastic stress, as is the case of hiking or children's footwear, where the upper of one of the shoes is expected to rub with the sole of the other.
This method is applicable to all types of leather and synthetic materials intended for shoe uppers.

IEC 61340-4-3:2017 describes a test method for determining the electrical resistance of footwear (shoes, slippers or booties) used in the control of electrostatic potential on people. This document is suitable for use by the manufacturer of footwear as well as the end user. A method for measuring the electrical resistance of footwear alone is described and serves as a qualification test or an acceptance test for new footwear, or as a periodic test of in-use footwear. Although this document does not include requirements for personal safety, footwear used within the scope of this document in all places of work is regulated by the relevant local statutory requirements regarding the health and safety of all persons. Insulating footwear is not included within the scope of this document although the electrical resistance measurement techniques can be applicable. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) classification of footwear as electrostatic conductive or electrostatic dissipative has been removed – classification is not specified; b) environmental classes for laboratory testing have been removed – one set of conditions for pre-conditioning, conditioning and testing is specified; c) reference to IEC 61340-2-3 for measuring the resistance of the counter electrode inserted inside footwear has been removed.

This International Standard specifies two test methods for the determination of the flexing durability of whole shoes. The two methods may not give comparable results.
These methods are not applicable to the whole shoes with heel height more than 70 mm, or the thickness of flexing area of the soles more than 25 mm, or flexing angle less than 45° according to ISO 17707:2005 clause 6 rigidity test.

This Standard specifies a method for the determination of the rubbing resistance of leather and synthetic materials using rubber.
The method is aimed to establish testing conditions that are similar to those of the practical use of footwear subjected to drastic stress, as is the case of hiking or children’s footwear, where the upper of one of the shoes is expected to rub with the sole of the other. This method is applicable to all types of leather and synthetic materials intended for shoe uppers.

This document provides a method for determining the coefficient of friction between footwear and floorings under conditions simulating those experienced in the phases of a typical walking step when slip is most likely to occur. The method is applicable to all types of footwear and footwear components, outsole units, heel top pieces (top lifts) and sheet soling materials, excepting PPE footwear (Personal Protective Equipment) and special purpose footwear containing spikes, metal studs or similar.
