Does anyone find shoe sizes a mystery?
Depending on the manufacturer, shoes are made to slightly different sizes. For instance I find Adidas trainers (sneakers) too small, but makes like Reebok and Skechers I can get away with a size 7, sometimes a size 6! Same goes with ladies’ clothing sizes. UK examples: Marks and Spencer are smaller than New Look. It’s annoying, and embarrassing when you have to get a size up. 🙁 Even within stores. At H&M I tried on two tops of the same size; one made in China and one made in Turkey. One was too loose around the middle but too short in the body, and the other had too short sleeves.
