This document modifies and adopts ISO 9407:2019 "Footwear sizing - Mondopoint

system of sizing and marking".

The technical differences between this document and ISO 9407:2019 and their reasons

are as follows:

- Add the content of "Chinese shoe size" (see Clause 1); because the Chinese shoe

size and the Mondopoint are in the same shoe size system;

- Change Figure 2 and the description of the corresponding index numbers (see 3.4);

because the linear width of the foot in China is the width shown in Figure 2;

- Add the term and definition of "Chinese shoe size" (see 3.7); because the Chinese

shoe size is only suitable for use in China; and there are slight differences with the

international shoe size in size difference and marking format;

- Add "Basic characteristics of Chinese shoe size system" (see Clause 4); because

the Chinese shoe size and the Mondopoint are the same shoe size system; and the

basic characteristics of the system are consistent;

- Add a description of Chinese shoe size marking format (see 6.1), to facilitate the

use of all relevant parties in China;

- Add the conversion with "Chinese shoe size" in shoe size conversion (see Clause

7); because Chinese shoe size and Mondopoint are in the same shoe size system;

the conversion data is the same as other shoe size systems.

The following editorial changes have been made to this document:

- Change the standard name to "Shoe size";

- Change Note 1 of 3.4;

- Add Note 2 of 3.4;

- Add Note 2 of 4.3;

- Delete the note in Clause 5;

- Change the example of 6.1;

- Add the note of 6.3;

Shoe size

4.1 The shoe size shall be based on the two measurements given in 4.2 and 4.3.

4.2 Foot length, the main characteristic value of the designed shoes, is expressed as an

integer in millimeters (mm).

4.3 Linear width of the foot, the secondary characteristic value of the designed shoes,

is expressed as an integer in millimeters (mm).

Note 1: The use of joint girth of the foot or other foot dimensions in footwear specification and

other stages of shoemaking is not precluded.

Note 2: Both Chinese shoe size (3.7) and Mondopoint (3.6) are systems based on foot length and

linear width of the foot. The difference between the two is that the shoe size marking format

is different; see 6.1.

6.1 Format

Mondopoint shall start with the capital letter "MP" or "Mondo"; shall include the foot

length. The enterprise can add the linear width of the foot as needed; use dashes or

slashes or brackets to separate. The letters used shall be clearly separated from any other

information.

Chinese shoe size shall include the foot length. The enterprise can add the linear width

of the foot or the model of shoe as needed.

Note: For the model definition of shoes, see 2.8.62 in GB/T 2703-2017.

Example: Mondopoint: MP263, MP263/94, MP263-94, Mondo 263(94);

Chinese shoe size: 260, 260/94, 260-94, 260(2.5); 237, 237/82, 237-82, 237(1.5).
