  Hey... I am thinking of buying shoes off the online e.mart. www.miw.com.sg
  
  No. 3 shoes to wear for work, its paid for by the SAF, why not? But dont really know what size i should get. And theres no freaking size conversion tables in the website.
  
  I use the Gore Tex boots sz 247, and my foot length is 9.75inch or 25cm.
  
  Any kind advise, which size i should click?
  
  Theres a range of sizes, very odd numbering, i must say.
  225, 232, 240, 247, 255, 262, 270, 277, 285, 292, 300, 307, 315
  
  I have a hunch mine is 270, but i cant be sure. Help!!!

  since u already mentioned your goretex boots size is 247, for SAF leather shoes just buy size 247 loh.

  Haha... Thanks for the reply... I bet my post sounded stupid.
  
  But when i bought the new Gore Tex boots, they mentioned that the cut was different from the old type of boots, and my old boots sz was 270... i think.
  
  So if i bought 247 for the no. 3 shoes, it might turn out smaller than i can wear... Actually, the simpler solution will be to go to the permanent e.mart and try it out for myself... but where got time??

  u have very small feets for a guy, i wear 277 that's 10.5. so i think u can stick to 247.

  the old full leather boots aka lao jiao boots are measured in hundreds like 270, 277 etc not in U size. SAF stop issuing them in early 2003. so since u are a new soldier, u can't be using old full leather boots.
