Unless I go at the beginning of the season, I usually have no chance of getting the shoes I like...and even then it can be hard. Lots of the cheaper places don't stock that size for womens' shoes at all. And those pointy toe shoes that are (still) in style make my feet look huge...ugh, I hope it'll change soon. :( Shoe sizes give me a headache over here too, not because I don’t know what size I have, but because I wear size 41.

I freaked out a bit when I first saw the sizes on the shoes. Yeah, I didn’t realize there was difference until this Christmas when I went to pick up Amy a new pair of birkenstocks.

As stated, I'm pretty clueless about this stuff. I do think that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondopoint#International_standards" rel="nofollow">Mondopoint</a> is a cool word, though.

This insole confuses me. I wear a women's 10 American/40 European (or sometimes 41 depending on the shoe), which is not <i>ever</i> a Ladies 8, unless a Ladies 8 is some other country's equivalent of 10 or 40. And why does it only go to a Ladies 8 anyway? Are those of us who do not have teeny tiny feet expect to do just eyeball it and hope for the best? You two frighten me a little.
