How to find the correct footwear size

​​​​​​​1. Stand on a piece of paper and mark the distance from your longest toe to the heel end.

2. Measure the distance between these two marks to find out your foot length.

3. Repeat the same procedure also for the other foot (right and left foot are hardly ever the same in lenght. Please, always consider the longest one).

4. Don’t forget to save some additional room on the toe area.

Greek Mythology

Kakia (Ancient GreekΚακίαlit.malice, wickedness)[1] is the Greek goddess of vice and moral badness (presumably, sin or crime). She was depicted as a vain and heavily made-up woman dressed in revealing clothes, and was presented as the opposite of Arete, goddess of excellence and virtue.

Kakia tried to tempt many people to become evil, but her most famous temptation was that of Heracles, one of the most famous divine heroes in Greek mythology. She offered him a pleasant and easy life, devoid of hardships whereas Arete offered a glorious life but where work and effort would be needed.[2] Heracles saw Kakia’s true colours when she revealed her name and thus the meaning of it in the below conversation:

You shall have the fruits of others’ toil, and refrain from nothing that can bring you gain. For to my companions I give authority to pluck advantage where they will.”
Now when Heracles heard this, he asked, “Lady, pray what is your name?”
“My friends call me Happiness,” she said, “but among those that hate me I am nicknamed Kakia.
