Shoe sizes
Are they the same here in Canada?
I know I can just go and just start trying some randomly to work it out, but was just wondering if they use the same as in the U.K.
The numbers look like they are in the same range as ours, but then I think the US sizes are similar, but out by 1 or 2 from ours or something.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Shoe sizes
nope in Canada they are 2 sizes bigger (well not that your feet are 2 sizes bigger, they are the same size wherever in the world you go, but you just add 2 to whatever your size is now!!!)

Re: Shoe sizes
For the right size body of course......nothing like seeing someone squeeze into something that they clearly shouldn't have, if they had asked the "right" person i.e the No-man/woman

Re: Shoe sizes
Thanks for the replies everyone. Very wierd that the sizes differ for men and women. There should be some kind of international standard for this stuff!

Re: Shoe sizes
Then again , there are lots of other standards too, tables can be found in the following article...

All a bit pointless anyway as my size, like most peoples, differs from brand to brand anyway.
