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.
The spinning top was a popular toy of children and young women, as vase depictions show. But also god Hermes, the protector of children, was pictured enjoying these toys.Spinning tops have been known since prehistoric times, but they were particularly common from Archaic times. They were made of wood or, very often, clay. Some were decorated with ivy leaves or hymns or had representations of animals.
The spinning top (known in antiquity as the stromvos, strovilos or vemvix) represents a timeless toy for both children and adults. It has a long history and exists in almost all cultures. Reference to the unique toy can be found in Homer’s Iliad (ra. X, I. 413), when Ajax throws a “stone that spins around like a top” just before it hit his enemy, Hector, in the chest during their combat.
