When purchasing shoes through international proxy services like CSSBuy, size discrepancies between regional standards often cause frustration. The CSSBuy spreadsheet functionality provides a robust solution - transforming it into a dynamic shoe sizing conversion hub.
Multi-Dimensional Sizing Database

- Updates automatically with new brand sizing information
Personalized Sizing Recommendations
Buyers input their foot measurements obtained using our printable sizing guide:
| Foot Length (cm) | Foot Width (cm) | Recommended Brand/Size |

Real-Time Inventory Intelligence
The system employs conditional formatting to:
- Flag rare sizes in amber as "order quickly"
- Mark out-of-stock sizes in red with expected restock dates
- Highlight recommended alternatives with similar fit profiles
Data-Driven Sourcing Decisions
