shoe sizing

Shoe sizing measures the length and width of your foot to ensure a proper fit. The most common system uses numerical sizes, with larger numbers indicating longer shoes. In the U.S. and UK, men's and women's sizes differ slightly, but both typically range from about size 4 to 14. European sizes use a different scale, starting around 35 for smaller feet and increasing by units up to 50 or more. Widths also vary, often denoted by letters (e.g., D for standard men’s width, B for women’s). Proper fit considers both length and width for comfort and foot health.
