RE: [h-cost] shoe sizes

This is true. But I can say for sure: I (female) wear a size 37 in the European shoes I wear (Berkenstock, but also some closed shoes) and a 6 1/2 or 7 in American-sized shoes; my consort (male) wears an 8 or 8 1/2 American size. There's no way he could fit into my shoes, and his are too large f
