Typically this measurement only considers length and not width. Sizing does vary slightly per manufacturer because each vendor uses their own set of lasts when creating the shoes, so these shoe size comparison charts are only estimates.
Shopping from a catalog or an online store has always carried a minor concern of uncertainty, which can offset by the increased selection and usually lower price.
Therefore, if buying online is the way you want to go, let us be the first and possibly last stop. With all the charts from all the countries and manufacturers making the shoes at your disposal, your task becomes easier. You need a starting point, like men's loafers size 9, or women's heels, size 5, double A.
Then you find the pair you want to buy. With your size information in your hand and the wealth of information from this site, and with a little luck, you should be able to find some way to make the comparison between what is being sold and what you need. This will ultimately allow you to make the right choice.
Finally, many people, of both sexes, like to exaggerate about the size shoes they wear. Large men will wear big shoes. Allegedly, women will often claim to wear a shoe smaller than their shoe size, or that is what Hollywood would have us believe. The key is to be truthful.
In the movie "Steel Magnolias", Dolly Parton runs a beauty shop and the subject of shoes came up. She says something to the effect that she wears a size six, but because a size seven are so comfortable, she buys a size eight. The numbers may be off, but as we all know, show sizes can vary, and we do not know where the shoes she allegedly purchased were from a country where a size 6 may equal a size 8. Do your homework ahead of time.
Be honest with yourself and always remember, shoes, which are a little loose are usually more comfortable than those that feel a little tight. So when picking a size from among the charts study the variances among the countries and the shoe manufacturers and make your best choice.
