US Shoe Sizes?

I was looking at my shoes earlier - (I'm a Male) - and in the part for the U.S. equivalent size - one says 7.5W and the other one is an 8M.

Anyone know what the "W" and "M" mean?

    "W" is for wide, like a wide foot.

    "M" is for medium, like average.

    And unfortunately shoe size converters can never be completely accurate as all brands fit a little different.

    I say I wear an 8.5 or 9 and occassionaly I've had to go higher.

    Ask the seller and try them on if you can...

    7.5 W means 7.5 wide. 8 M is 8 medium, usually stores only do a "regular" and W distinctions. Thus, I would say that your 8 M is equivalent to any other 8 and should fit quite fine.
