A size 2E denotes the width of shoe, and is two sizes above D.

  • The measured width is indicated in millimetres (mm). This is done with the Mondopoint system.
  • The measured width is assigned a letter (or combination of letters), which is taken from a table (indexed to length and width) or just assigned on an ad-hoc basis: Examples include (each starting with the narrowest width):
  • A, B, C, D, E, EE, EEE, EEEE, F, G
  • 4A, 3A, 2A, A, B, C, D, E, 2E, 3E, 4E, 5E, 6E
  • N (narrow), M (medium) or R (regular), W (wide)

The exact foot width for which these sizes are suitable can vary significantly between manufacturers. The A-E width indicators used by some US and UK shoe manufacturers are typically based on the width of the foot, and common step sizes are 3/16 of an inch.
