Are Your Feet the Same Size?

I would like to know if you have one foot that is a bit bigger than the other one, what size shoe do you buy? My left foot is just a little bigger than my right.

 

Do you order a bigger size or your size that fits your one foot perfect?

 

I know this is a crazy question but I would like to know what others do in this situation. Thanks

Yes, I've just noticed recently that my right foot is larger.   Most noticeably with my slippers, the toes on my right foot felt scrunched.  So I actually outlined both feet on a piece of paper to confirm the right one was larger - not by a lot, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch.  I read you should buy the shoe size that's good for the larger foot.

Friend's mother has always had to buy two matching pair, in different sizes, due to the effect of Polio when she was a child.

Her sizing difference is off by more than a full size.

My daughter has one foot longer than the other and she buys the larger size.  Nothing is worse than wearing shoes that are too small.  Maybe you could put one of those heal things in the back of the shoe that is too large.  Or maybe put a piece of foam in the toe?

Yes, and it's the same with your hands.    Usually rings fit better on one hand than the other.........

My right foot is slightly larger than my left so when trying on shoes , I start with the right foot first.

Same length, but the right is a tiny bit wider and a higher instep, and for the left - I always need to put a gel heel pad in the left shoe to lift my heel a bit.

My left foot is slightly bigger.  Shoes with laces can be adjusted for a good fit.  With slip on shoes I sometimes have to put in an adhesive heel grip pad in the right shoe.
