Footwear sizes

Anyone else noted changes to footwear sizes?

 

As a teenager I used to be a size 9.5 - 10; I once bought a pair of size 9 shoes and they were so small I ended up with blisters after only an hour or so of wearing them.

 

Now I can buy size 9 shoes, walking boots, ski boots or trainers and they fit comfortably.

 

So are my plates shrinking after 25 years or are footwear sizes evolving??

So many variables... yes, your feet undoubtedly change with time but manufacturers sizing is, very annoyingly, not standard.  Having learnt that lesson the hard way I try to put footwear on my feet before buying these days.

My feet seem to have enjoyed the same journey; I was always a 10 until about 20 years ago; now I'm a 9-9.5 and have got away with a very comfortable pair of size 8 work shoes.

Sounds like your feet are shrinking. I would defo go get checked out by the doctor as i'm pretty sure impotence follows immediately after.


I wondered how long it would take until that got brought up :-)

I was sufficiently well-endowed enough to fill a pram twice over, which was enough for me!
