Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
You’d think, being an adult and all, that you have this whole shoe size thing figured out. Well, sorry guys, but turns out, you don’t.
Much like those pesky bras, it turns out you’ve probably been wearing the wrong shoe size this whole time.
A new study of 2,000 people by the College of Podiatry found that nearly half of women and a third of men were walking around in shoes that are either too big or too small.
We repeat, nearly HALF of women. That’s a whole lot of foot blisters.
Now there is one simple solution: getting your feet measured. We know, we know, it’s a bit of a faff, but if it means avoiding long term foot pain and bunions in the long run, we reckon it’s worth it, non?
Plus, plenty of designer and high street stores now offer wide and slim fits, as well as half sizes, so there’s really no excuse not to get it right.
