A men's size 12 would be equilavent to a women's size 13.5 (13-1/2). The difference is 1.5 (1-1/2) sizes. This can be checked on the Brannock foot measuring device. So, a women's size 12 would be equivalent to a men's size 10.5 (10-1/2). Also, there is usually a difference for widths. For example, with New Balance shoes a "D" width is considered medium for men, but that same D width is considered a wide for women. The "B" width is medium for women. So if you had a men's size 12 medium-or-regular (12 D), it would usually be equivalent to a women's size 13.5 wide. There are some shoe companies that consider the "C" width to be a medium, and most companies ignore width-variations altogether.
"D" is a medium (standard) width in Men's shoes. "E" would be a wide width, and "C" would be a narrow. See link in Related Links for measurements. for standard size and better look shoes for men and women visit at Dukanee.com
Not all shoe brands are the same, but for New Balance shoes, which is a good standard of measure: If you wear a women's size 10 medium (10 B), then your men's size is usually going to be an 8.5 narrow (8.5 B), because the men's and women's scales are offset by 1.5 sizes and by 1 width deviation. A women's medium width is normally "B", while a men's medium width is a "D". women's: 4A (X-narrow) - 2A (narrow) - B (medium) - D (wide) - 2E (X-wide) - 4E (XX-wide) men's: 2A (X-narrow) - B (narrow) - D (medium) - 2E (wide) - 4E (X-wide) - 6E (XX-wide) So if you want to buy a men's shoe in size 8.5, you may want to choose the men's narrow (B) width if it is available. These numbers and letters correspond to the sizing standards of the Brannock foot measuring device.

A "B" is a medium widths.
M means medium, and is a reference to the width of the shoe, not the actual size.
The sizing difference between men's and women's shoes is about 1.5 sizes and two-widths . For example, a men's shoe in size 10 would equal a women's 11.5, while a women's shoe in size 8 would equal a men's size 6.5. Furthermore, with New Balance shoes for example, there is a difference between what is considered a women's medium width and a men's medium width. The men's medium or regular width is the "D width", a women's medium or regular width is the "B width". So a men's size "10 D" (D=medium for men) would be equal to a women's "11.5 B" or "11.5 Med" (because B=regular for women). Note: kids shoes are usually sized on the men's length-width scales regardless of whether it is a boys' or girls' style. Shoe widths are designated by a letter-code-scale: AAAAAA or 6A AAAAA or 5A AAAA or 4A AAA or 3A AA or 2A A B C D E EE or 2E EEE or 3E EEEE or 4E EEEEE or 5E EEEEEE or 6E New Balance makes every other width: for men: 2A: extra narrow B: narrow D: medium 2E: wide 4E: extra wide 6E: extra extra wide for women: 4A: extra narrow 2A: narrow B: medium D: wide 2E: extra wide 4E: extra extra wide for kids: N: narrow M: medium W: wide XW: extra wide

Hi, It is impossible to gauge what size you would be in pointe shoes. Some shoes are made big and some are made small. There are also other factors in the fitting of pointe shoes eg. width! The only way is to be professionally fitted at a dance store! Do not buy pointe shoes over the internet unless you are a professional dancer who knows exactly what size ,width and make she wears!
"b" refers to the width. "e" being a wide shoe.
