So we'll have to add a few numbers to the shoe designation. No matter
the system, there will always be people who have difficult feet to
fit. My intention is to be able to measure the foot using
standardized units rather than some number and a width code that means
"doesn't not fit bad enough to do something about it."

I think the numbers are standard, however the numbers you want to add,
aren't. These really change the fit.

Sizes aren't standard. Maybe they are in certain sizes, but they are
most definitely not standardized in the length my foot is. It is all
across the board: one 9 boot was too long, but a 10 from another company
is correct. A 9.5 shoe is also right. Oh, and I've got a 10 from the
same company that's also the same length as the 9.5.

All I want is a system that's consistent or at the very least based upon
measuring the foot at key points so I can measure those key points on my
feet and buy a pair of shoes without the whole "will it fit?" game.
