What shoe size am I?
I am 5'9" (I know, I'm a tall girl) and I wear size eight shoes (sometimes I wear 7.5, but it's a tad uncomfortable). I measured my foot by taping a piece of paper on the floor and tracing an outline along the shape of my foot and then measuring that outline. I found my foot was 9.75 inches, which according to an online calculator is a size 8 shoe.
I don't know if I'm wearing the right shoe size because girls shorter than me or my height wear nines and sometimes even tens. Am I measuring my feet wrong or are my feet just abnormally small? Perhaps other girls are just wearing roomy shoes? I like mine snug, but not tight by any means. Anyway, I'm curious if this is the right shoe size for a 17 year old girl at my height.
