How to Read Size Information on a Kakobuy Spreadsheet
A size label is only a starting point. The useful evidence is the measurement system, the seller's current chart, and a clear note about whether a number means foot length, insole length, or garment dimensions.

Size information looks simple until two listings use the same number in different ways. One shoe page may show EU labels, another may lead with US or UK sizing, and a third may provide centimeters. Clothing adds letter sizes and garment measurements to the mix. The safest approach is to read the label together with the seller's current chart instead of treating one number as universal.
This guide explains how to use size information while browsing a Kakobuy Spreadsheet. It does not provide a fixed conversion table because a precise-looking table can hide the variation between products, factories, sellers, and measurement methods.
Know what the label is trying to describe
EU, US, and UK are regional size-label systems. They are not measurements of the item itself. CM usually points to a length reference, but you still need to check what was measured. On a shoe page, centimeters may mean recommended foot length, the inside length of the shoe, or the removable insole length. Those values are related, but they are not interchangeable.
Do not assume that an EU number converts to exactly one US or UK number across every shoe. Brand conventions, product type, toe shape, lining, and the seller's own chart can change the recommendation. Use the regional label to find the row, then use the measurement note to understand it.
Start with the live product page
The spreadsheet can help you discover and organize products, but sizing decisions need the current destination page. Open the exact listing and select the intended color or model before reading the chart. Some pages change the available size range or measurement image when the option changes.
Look for:
- the size system named by the seller;
- whether the chart refers to foot length, insole length, or another measurement;
- the unit used, such as centimeters or millimeters;
- any seller note about choosing between two sizes;
- whether the chart belongs to the selected product rather than a generic store image.
If the size chart is missing, unreadable, or unrelated to the selected item, record that gap. A familiar model name is not enough to fill it.
Why CM or insole information is useful
A length measurement gives you something concrete to compare. If the page provides recommended foot length, compare it with an actual foot measurement taken using the same unit. If it provides insole length, compare it with the removable insole from a pair that already fits. Keep those two methods separate in your notes.
Even a centimeter value needs context. A thick sock, padded lining, narrow toe box, or structured heel can change usable space. Slides and clogs also fit differently from enclosed sneakers. The measurement narrows the decision; it does not guarantee comfort.
Do not mix shoe and clothing sizing
Shoe charts usually focus on foot or insole length. Clothing charts should provide garment dimensions such as chest width, shoulder width, length, waist, rise, or inseam. A letter size such as M or L does not carry one fixed set of measurements between listings.
For clothing, compare the actual garment measurements with an item that fits the way you want. Check whether the chart gives full circumference or a flat width, and allow for the intended fit. A shoe-size conversion rule has no useful role in a hoodie or trousers chart, just as a clothing letter size says nothing about footwear.
How photos and video fit into a size check
Photos are useful when they show the size label, chart, ruler, insole, or option selector. A real product video can help you understand visible proportions: whether a toe looks tapered, a collar appears padded, or a slide has a wide opening. It cannot measure internal space or confirm that a particular size will fit.
I would not use a product video to guess the exact size. For that, the product page and size chart matter much more. The shoe footage on this site is intended to show visible shape and construction, not to make sizing claims.
A practical size-reading routine
- Choose a row from the Spreadsheet or Shoes category.
- Open the current product page and select the intended option.
- Identify the regional label system and the measurement unit.
- Write down what the CM value actually means.
- Compare like with like: foot length to foot length, or insole length to insole length.
- Note shape factors such as toe width, lining, socks, and product type.
- Save the chart source and checked date with the row.
The Finding Shoes guide places this routine inside the wider footwear workflow. It starts with intended use and shape, then keeps sizing evidence separate from visual impressions.
When to pause the row
Pause when the chart does not say what is measured, the selected option uses a different chart, the page gives conflicting values, or the only evidence is a regional label with no supporting dimensions. Ask for clearer product-page information if that is possible. Do not create a precise conversion from an unsupported guess.
Where to go next
Return to the spreadsheet with the exact label, the measurement type, the value, the selected option, and the date checked. Use the Shoes page for footwear comparisons and Videos only for visible shape. Sizing remains a product-page evidence task, even when the clip makes the item easier to understand.
