What size shoe is 10 inches?

Shoe size refers to the length of the inner shoe. Shoe sizes are usually written as from 8 to 12 or 6 to 9, depending on country.

This can vary between different brands and styles, so it is important not to rely just on one set of shoes. Feet can also differ in shape and length, so it's important that shoes fit well.

It's a common misconception that all numbers correspond with different lengths; this isn't always true. The numerical sequence, however, does represent a number of standard sizes that are widely used.

The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) officially recommends a scale of numbers from 0 to 12,

with numbers corresponding to the length in millimetres of the inner sole portion on a pair of shoes. For example: Size 0 is the longest size (for women), then sizes 7-13.

For common shoes such as trainers and sandals, ISO suggests a numbering system starting with size 01 and going up to size 11.

There is also an associated letter system, with O being the smallest, followed by A-D and ending with EE or E.

Hence size 9 would be: a) ISO 7A; b) US 7. The corresponding UK sizes would be: a) ISO 8AA; b) US 7.

In addition to these numbers and letters, many shoe manufacturers add their own sizing systems using letters such as K and M to indicate width fittings.

When buying shoes at the store, it's important to remember that not everyone's feet are the same shape, so you might have to try different sizes to find the one that fits you best.
