Probably worth noting (since we're all dudes here) that this

of ladieswear use quite the same set of sizes - my girlfriend
can be a 4, 6, or 8, a XS, S, or M, and never knows until she
starts trying stuff on.

It's the same way with shoes. People keep insisting shoe sizes are the
same, but that just doesn't match my reality. I just sent back a size 9
boot to trade for an 8.5, but I have a 9.5 shoe that fits perfectly. The
boots I'm wearing now are 10's.

If I had my way about it, the foot would be measured and the shoe would
be specified to fit the measurements of the foot.


You CAN have your foot measured and a boot or shoe made to fit but I
don't think you would want to pay the price, at least $500, add another
thousand for boots.


It still wouldn't fit. The measurements are incomplete.
