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.

    Ive seen really tall girl that are like size 5 and very short girls as big as a 9 or 10. it depends on your genes. no one has the same everything. If your shoes fit comfortable, not too loose or tight. You have the roght size. I have kinda had to play around to find my right size. At first I bought 6.5 shoes. Then I went to 7 back to 6.5 and then to a 7.5 until i figured out that in sneakers im a 6.5 in flats and heels im a 7
