Women's shoes? I went shoe shopping the other day, and depending on the brand, I fit into everything from 5 to 6.5!
And I fit into anything from 8-10 depending on the shoe.
I used to be able to walk into a store and grab any pair of shoe I liked without trying them on - not anymore.
When it comes to wearing jeans - I only buy men's. Those sizes are honest......waist/length. The unfortunate part of that for me is I always have to wear a belt because in order to get them over my hips, I have to up the waist size.
