Shoe size problem? Anyone else have this problem?
So, for the first time in two years or more, i decided it was time to go shoe shopping. I've been wearing a pair of sneakers for the last year that were a size 10, and that is too big. So, when I went in to get shoes, i asked the lady to measure my foot. She did so, and told me I was a size 8. So, i headed to the 8 section and tried on a pair of sneakers in a size 8. WAY too tight on the front. So, I went to the 8 1/2. Still too tight. I finally found ones that fit in the size 9!
why in the world is this happening? The shoes smaller then 9 hurt and were tight around the front part of my foot. The 9s feel a bit loose around the back, but that issue resolves it self when i lase up the shoes. I just want to know what is up with this? Why did the foot measuring thing tell me I was an 8 when it was clear as soon as I pur the shoes on i'd never walk comfortably in 8s? I just want a decent pair of walking shoes.
