Bloomingdale's Fit help, fit enhancement and comfort details Field Guide

Helpful shopping hints of fit and feel. Any type of goring or stretch elastic around the straps/boot shaft opening, etc. Eg. Elastic gores for a flexible fit / Narrow at toe, not advisable for wider feet. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

Fit help, fit enhancement and comfort details is an optional feature bullet on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the kids and baby shoes department. It gives a parent the shopping hints that a size chart cannot: elastic gores that stretch for a chubby foot, a padded insole, a narrow toe box that will not suit wider feet, a style that runs a half size small. Bloomingdale's prints the value as a bullet on the product page.

The field sits at the parent level, one phrase for the whole style, and takes up to 254 characters including spaces.

The rules

Rule Detail
Required No. Leave it blank when the source gives nothing about fit or feel
Level Parent. One value per style, shared by every color and size
Length 254 characters at most, including spaces
Form One phrase, no trailing period
Content Fit hints and comfort features, stated as the shopper would use them

Bloomingdale's names the content it wants: any goring or stretch elastic around straps or the boot shaft opening, and honest fit notes such as "Elastic gores for a flexible fit" or "Narrow at toe, not advisable for wider feet". Comfort features count too: padded insole, cushioned footbed, arch support, a soft flexible sole for new walkers.

Examples

Value Verdict Reason
Elastic gores for a flexible fit Good Bloomingdale's own phrasing for goring
Narrow at the toe, not advisable for wider feet Good Honest fit warning a parent can act on
Cushioned footbed with arch support Good Comfort features in one phrase
Runs a half size small Good Fit note without a measurement
Super comfy! Weak Marketing, no detail
Buckled ankle strap Weak Belongs in the Closure field

Common mistakes

  • Repeating the closure or the sole construction. Closure has its own field, and toe shape or lug soles go in Special details.
  • Writing "order one size up" here. The Sizing info field takes Bloomingdale's exact fit phrases.
  • Inventing a comfort claim the source does not make.

How Osello fills this field

Osello fills this field once per parent listing in the kids and baby shoes department, reading the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase under 254 characters with no trailing period. When the source says nothing about fit or feel, the field stays blank rather than receiving a generic comfort line. The full list of shoe attributes is in the Bloomingdale's field directory.

Frequently asked questions

Is this field required for kids and baby shoes on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional, and a blank value is better than an invented one when your product data says nothing about fit.

Should "runs small, order up" go here or in Sizing info?

Sizing info takes Bloomingdale's exact phrases such as "Fits small, order one size up". Use this field for the reason and the feel, such as "Narrow at the toe" or "Runs a half size small".

Can I mention goring on the strap?

Yes. Goring and stretch elastic around straps or the boot shaft opening are exactly what Bloomingdale's asks for here.
