(b)If one foot measures one--half size longer than the other, select the longer size for
initial try--on.
(c)If one foot measures a full size longer, select the size half--way between the two sizes
that were measured. for example, if one foot measures 8 1/2 and the other 7 1/2, select size 8 for
the initial try--on.
(d)When an individual cannot be properly fitted with one tariff size, try--on two different
sizes. If the proper fit is achieved with two different sizes, there is no need for special
measurement footwear. The individual will only be charged the single pair price and the
remaining unused footwear disposed of in accordance with AR 700--84.
(2) Determine Width Size. Measure each foot separately compare the measured width of
each foot as follows:
(a)If both feet measure the same width, select that width for initial try--on. For example, if
both feet measure regular (R) width, select the regular width for initial try--on.
(b)If one foot measures a full width wider than the other the wider measurement is used
to select the try--on size.
(c)If one foot measures two widths wider than the other, select the width half--way
between the two measurements. For example, if one foot measures regular (R) and the other
measures extra narrow (XN), select narrow (N) for initial try--on.
(d)If the foot measures more than half--way between two widths, select the larger width
for initial try--on. If the foot measures less than half--way, select the smaller width.
(e)When an individual cannot be properly fitted with one width of a specific footwear item,
try on two different widths. If the proper width is achieved, special measurement footwear is not
required. The individual will be charged the single pair price and the remaining unused footwear
disposed of in accordance with AR 700--84.
