Would you be in favor of universal shoe-sizing (rather than gender specific, as it is in the US)?

Women's size 8 is a men's size 6. 

Human feet of both genders come in all sizes. Shoes styles should, too. 

Savvy gets pulled over by the cops (she was watching a hawk and weaved slightly out of her lane). Officer asks to search the vehicle and has questions when he discovers the trunk packed full of shoes. 

 

 Just name-drop. Tell them about the grammar cop who knows you, and who will vouch for you in any situation, day or night . . .



 (((Of course, you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours. Cough, cough.))))

You are so scandalous, the first pretty thing to come along and you are off and running.

 

  Me? I’m just doing my civic duties in assisting a damsel in distress! She needs me!

I do! 

I was looking at shoes online today, and there were some that I really liked that were men's. But the smallest size they have is an 8 (men's). Not nearly small enough for me. It made me then think about transgender people, and the struggles they must have. I'd start a campaign, but I don't want to deal with being called a woke snowflake. ;)

 

  I have the exact opposite problem of yours when it comes to shoe sizing.

   It’s very difficult for me to find shoes for my big old giant feet. Depending on which company, which brand, or which model of shoe they put out, I can go anywhere from as small as a men’s 11 /2 to as large as a 13 1/2. in addition to that, my feet are also wide, I cannot wear a narrow shoe at all. 

  There been many occasions where I saw great-looking shoes or boots that I wanted to but, but they just weren’t available in my size. Ordering shoes online is completely out of the question for me, I need to be able to try them on and that’s how I make my decision on whether or not to purchase a pair. And I don’t like the practice of ordering something having it shipped to me try it on if it doesn’t fit, send it back, no, thank you.

 Grrrrrr.

  Oh, and by the way, your idea of Universal fitting doesn’t seem as if it would be a solution to my situation.

Imagine someone with feet your size who wanted to wear women's shoes! Completely out of luck! 

You know what they say about men with big feet, don't you? 

Big feet... large shoes.

 

Yes.

It would be very nice for me, a woman, to be able to buy men's shoes on occasion.

I feel very bad for men who wear a size 5.5 or 6 (which is a woman's size 7.5 or 8). They must always have to special order them! I've tried to buy men's size 6... they are NEVER in stock; online or in a store. 

Why do you want to wear men's shoes?

Sometimes I like the color options better than those available in women's. Also, sometimes seemingly identical shoes are cheaper for men/boys. 

I can't say I've noticed the price difference but I would say women's shoes have more variety of colour.

I'd agree about colors, but sometimes the colors aren't the ones I would choose. 

I'm sure you're right. Funny that children's shoe sizes are the same up to a certain age.  

I know women with large feet who also struggle to find their size and end up with men's shoes when they'd prefer women's. 

Don't start. 

Lol :)

Too late!
