Hi Maryanne,
you can sit when you are measuring the diameter of your foot. The different brands are not all the same length which is why there is more than one chart and even within the brand like Ros Hommerson there are different widths and the wider the shoe the bigger the diameter! Can all get a little confusing I agree. Just like with the clothing market there are no standard measurements in footwear either.
If you are interested and need a hand working out your size let me know your measurements and I will give you a hand but if you are a 42 in Kumfs you will be around a size 10 on my site
All the best and thanks for the feedback shall try and make the information a little easier to follow
