What is the size difference between men and womens shoe size?

Answer 1

Speaking specifically in terms of the numbered size, each men's shoe size would be equivalent to a size higher in women's. For instance, if a man wore a size 8 in his own shoes, to wear women's shoes he would be a size 9. Also, women's shoes are typically made much narrower than men's. This is because men generally have wider feet than women and women tend to have higher arches.
