What size shoe do you wear?

[LostInAnomie]

Poll question: What size shoe do you wear?

I wear a size 14, and although some of you ladies may be impressed by this the fact is it sucks for finding shoes, especially dress shoes.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. 12.

[ghostsofgiants]

2. 11

[BarenakedLady]

3. 6.5 or

a 4 child's size if I like the style better. :)

[Broken_Hero]

4. usually

15 wide, but some brands have better/different cuts, sometiems a 14w works, and other times, its way to tight, but I always...always have luck with the 15W's.....

[LostInAnomie]

11. I actually used to wear size 15

But for some reason my feet shrank, which I was grateful for since it allowed me to actually find some shoes in stores. Now I wear a 14 but it has to be WIDE.

[Broken_Hero]

13. I wish, my shoe size was a

12...it is such a pain/journey/quest to find shoes that fit....the boots I have are 15w, my sandals are 15w, my dress shoes are 15w, but both of my tennis shoes are 14w...

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. 10.5

I have sorta smallish feets for one 6' 2".

[querelle]

6. 10 (Mens)

Q

[dropkickpa]

7. 8.5

And, though the most common size for women, they are huge (I'm only 5 feet tall!!). Clown feet!!

[Dastard Stepchild]

61. Me too!

I am just about 5'2". My feet are huge for my height. But then, I am fairly large-boned. :)

[skygazer]

8. Ladies 9

Damn - I thought it might be a shoe giveaway thread. :(

[Book Lover]

9. A Ladies 12, a Men's 11

And with EEE-wide feet, you can just imagine how wide the chick shoe selection is for me! Thank my-lack-of-god for transvestite clothing shops!

[nytemare]

17. No kidding, it is hard being a gal with large feet!

I would wear probably a women's 11, but I have the flattest feet on earth, so I have to wear an orthodic, so that makes it women's 12. Mens 10-10 1/2.

Luckily, it seems, a lot of sneaker types shoes, they make for women and men.

My feet are so big and flat they hold water back in the tub when I shower.

[trof]

10. I'm still growing.

Since I hit my teens I was a 10 1/2.
In my early 60s I went to 11.

Why do your feet and ears get bigger when you get to be a geezer?
:-(

[Mrs.Matcom]

12. 7.5 very common size

so sometimes it is hard to find the cute shoes...they are all sold out! :(

[SmokingJacket]

18. Me too! It's the most common size, I think. nt

[Ariana Celeste]

14. Ladies 9.5-10.5

depending on the brand and type of shoe. Wide is more comfortable, but not always necessary

[Shell Beau]

15. I am a 6.5-er!

Lucky for me though because my mom is a 4 and my grandma is a 2!! They can NEVER find good fitting shoes that aren't kiddie!

[Ms_Dem_Meanor]

16. 8.5(women's) n/t

[Danger Mouse]

19. I'm a 13.

Big man.

[Deja Q]

20. 10.5 EEE

[scarlet_owl]

21. I wear a ladies 9.

[Nikia]

22. 7.5 in dress shoes, 8 in athletic shoes

I usually try shoes on beforehand to make sure whether to get the smaller or larger size, but this is the general trend. It might be the whole panty hose versus socks issue.

[u4ic]

23. 9

I think someone else is walking around with my feet, as I'm only 5'5. :silly:

[Auggie]

24. 15

[dolo amber]

25. Shoe sizes are so irregular...I wear between a 5 1.2 and a 7 1.2

My Chuck Taylors are a 4 (EU)...I dunno if it's psychological or what but the almost make me walk funny because my feet look freakishly small. :D

[reyd reid reed]

26. It all depends on where I buy the shoes

and what style they are. The more expensive the shoe, the smaller the size. I've got a pair of snakeskin pumps that are a size 7, and then I've got a pair of el-cheapo pink pumps that are an 8.5.

Most of the time, I start at 8s and then move up or down accordingly.

I need some new shoes, now that I think about it...

:P

[Nicole]

[Deja Q]

34. But you only mentioned length. There's that width factor too!

:spray:

[SPKrazy]

38. My, er Feet, Are Plenty Wide

no complaints yet

except it is hard to find wide shoes sometimes

:rofl:

[Deja Q]

50. Mine are wider!

:rofl:

And I hear ye about finding the right shoes...

[SPKrazy]

51. Mebbeee Yur a Duck?

:rofl:

[Digit]

29. Ladies 5 or 5.5

[ForrestGump]

30. 13 2E

US size, that is, though there's some variation in sizing even within one manufacturer's product lines.

Big enough, but not quite so big that finding shoes is too great and ordeal...it used to be, but I think either feet are getting bigger (finding clothes to fit tall people used to be more difficult, too, and I guess there's supposedly an overall increase in height over the last few decades) or manufacturers are just recognizing the marketplace's diversity. I used to wear nothing but running shoes (with sandals, often, for field work in the tropics) but more recently I've started wearing the black 'Elvis/Beatles' zip-up dress boots out (I bought them for my work garb but I like the feel of them) so I'm occasionally dressier than ever before in my life, which isn't saying much. :D

Athletic footwear remain my first love, shoe-wise, and (good examples, anyway) are generally the best for our feet...

New Balance rules!!!!

[Katina]

36. 8 - 8.5

depending on the shoe. I just bought a pair of ankle boots at an outlet. Retail price: $70, outlet, $40, but on sale for $31. Then at the register, they gave me their "frequent buyers card" and marked the boots down another 40%!!!! I paid $19 for $70 dollar boots. Ask me if I'm pumped!!! :bounce:

[unsavedtrash]

43. Ladies 12-14 depending on the brand and style.

Just bought some dress shoes size 12 but my sneakers are 14.
Yes, hard to find so I generally have to wear a men's 11-12.

[philosophie_en_rose]

44. 6.5 to 8 (It really depends on the shoe).

I can wedge my feet into a 5 or 5.5, but am most comfortable in the 6.5 to 7 range. However, I buy boots in 8s, so I can wear thick socks.

[njdemocrat106]

46. Size 10 here nt

[Briarius]

47. 14

shoe shopping sucks :cry:

[dubeskin]

48. 12.5-13 Mens

Though 13 for dress shoes

You know what thy say...

Big shoes...big socks!!!

[NewWaveChick1981]

49. Ladies' 8.5 M.

:hi:

[crim son]

52. 8.5 - 9 M depending on the shoe.

Before I had children I had size 8 feet. Apparently my arches couldn't take my being 150 lbs.

[bertha katzenengel]

53. 11 EEEE - n/t

[flamingyouth]

54. 9.5, but my fiance is a 13 and I hear you about the dress shoes.

Not the greatest selection all the time, that's for sure.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

55. Usually 7 or 7.5.

My feet are humongously wide, however, as well being high-arched, and look rather blockish, so I tend to have trouble finding shoes for short but fat feet.

:crazy:

[deucemagnet]

56. What a beautiful example of a normal distribution of data!

Sorry for the hijack. </sciencegeek>

BTW, I wear a men's 10, EE if I can get it.

[LostInAnomie]

65. I noticed that too

It's not as good now, but earlier it was almost a perfect bell curve.

[Sparkly]

57. Believe it or not, I don't know how to answer!!

I'm always either 8 or 8.5... It's a problem when I want shoes on ebay, especially European-sized shoes that are converted using your groupings (7.5 -8, or 8.5 -9). I never wear 7.5 (or 9), but I answered 7.5 -8 because I'd like to think my feet aren't as long as they are.

(However, I always figured long feet are good in pointe shoes cuz they make your legs look longer!)

[samplegirl]

59. I wear a size

5 1/2 sometimes hard to find. It just depends if its a popular
style its usually gone.

[Little Wing]

60. 10.5 W

[CaliforniaPeggy]

62. Normally a ladies 9.5 to 10.........

As I've gotten older, and somewhat heavier :cry: my feet have gotten longer!

I used to wear a narrow, which was devilishly hard to find!

Now, with my feet a bit wider, shoes are much easier to find...

:hi:

[Writer]

63. 10 1/2 Narrow women's

:cry:

[Penndems]

64. Size 9 1/2 ladies, Size 40 Euro

I inherited my big feet from my dad. :)

[Danmel]

66. I'm pretty small

5 feet tall, size 5 1/2 to a 6 in shoes

I know when all the shoe stores get deliveries, not because I am such a shoe junkie, but because if I don't get there on delivery day the one pair of 5 1/2 they get will be gone.
