Indian scientists have introduced a new shoe sizing system designed specifically for Indians.
This shoe size system was named “BHA” (BHA) which stands for “India”, it was intended to replace the existing British, European and American size systems.
In a survey conducted between December 2021 and March 2022, 3D foot scanning of over one lakh Indians at 79 locations provided insights into the size, dimensions and structure of the average Indian foot.
The survey revealed that Indian feet are generally wider than those of Europeans or Americans. The findings also revealed that under the current shoe sizing system, many Indians wear shoes that are either too big or poorly fitting.

What is the “BHA” system?
The new shoe size system “BHA” is a simple method with 8 shoe sizes suitable for different age groups. It aims to provide a better fit to around 85 percent of Indians.
This change is expected to simplify manufacturing by eliminating “half size”. It also provides an extra 5mm for increased comfort, wider dimensions and foot length.The system has eight sizes.
A number for infants from zero to one year
Number two is for toddlers aged one to three
Number three is for four to six year olds
Number four is for seven to eleven year olds
Number five for twelve to thirteen year old girls
Scientists say production will mainly focus on sizes three to eight to meet the needs of the majority of Indians.
