You can fix that.

After I lost a bunch of weight and started doing a lot of foot-powered activities I went from a 15EEE to a 14 or 14E.

I am very impressed with how many different ways we came up with to say we are 10.

Clearly, we are all 10s.

You mean stuff like raising up and down on your toes and walking in sand? I already bought a bunch of size 10 shoes so it might be a bit of a waste for me to do it anyway.

It sux.

Are Aussie size the same as either Brit or Merkin sizes?

Oh here, see, I answered my own question. Apparently my size is a UK 4, but unless my feet shrank a whole size as I flew over the atlantic, I disagree with that conversion. maybe I'm a 4.5

(this is for women's shoes)

When I was in high school, those black cloth Chinese shoes were all the rage. We all went to the same little store to buy them, where the guy who ran the place could just look at your feet and say, "Oh yes, I get you size 38." And he was always right.

We usually get shoes with either US or European sizings, you need to check carefully and try them on. As if you wouldn't anyway.

The Japanese system is the best, IMHO. Measure your foot in centimeters, from heel to toe. That is your shoe size. Done.

Wow, that's an awesome idea Zen! Why the hell can't the rest of the world do that?

they were popular in my HS too. we wore them with white knee sox and with our plaid, pleated uniform skirts. Alice in Wonderland sort of look.
